I am a junior (rising senior) applying to the engineering department, and plan to major in computer science. What are my chances of getting in at UIUC, UC Berkley, and MIT?

Bump

For Berkeley, if you are applying for CS in the College of Letters and Science, I think you have a very good chance. If you are more interested in hardware and are applying to EECS (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) I would like to know your UC calculated GPA.

Sorry - it’s pretty complicated but EECS is so competitive that an accurate GPA is very important in estimating your chances.
