<p>Re-posting here to get feedback from UA students, alums, etc.</p>
<p>• Race: Caucasian
• Major: Computer Science
• GPA: 3.0 UW, 3.1 W
• Rank: 175/554
• ACT: 22 Comp, 24 E, 23 R, 22 S, 19 M, and 8/12 Writing</p>
<p>• Extracurriculars: None</p>
<p>• Awards: Honor Roll in 11th grade</p>
<p>• Senior Year Course Load: AP Literature and AP Statistics, that’s it.</p>
<p>Note: I chose not to do the quote essay and personal statement (they were both optional). Also, my grades have an upward trend: 2.5>2.7>3.5 and a 3.9/4.0, but they probably won’t see my senior grades.</p>
<p>The fact that you decided to write neither essays is something they will look down upon, and seeing that you don’t have any ECs and a low ACT score, I would say 50/50 chance you get in</p>
Congrats! UA is easy acceptance but CS major is no joke. Get ready for Calculus and CS classes. Reminder: sign up for housing ASAP or there will be nothing decent available. Even if nothing’s available now, continue to check the website - dorm spaces open up all the time.
stugace: Love the emoticon! It’s a $200 non-refundable fee to reserve a spot. The dorms do fill up and at the beginning of the year there is a wait list, so don’t wait too long.
