<p>Are you applying to COE (EECS) or L&S (CS) ?</p>

3

<p>Not sure. What are my chances for both?</p>

<p>For EECS, I’d say it’s tough. For L&S CS, you have a decent shot. Obviously, your SAT scores a bit lacking(especially math) but you’ve got an impressive line up of ECs.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>I agree, depends on your final SATs and ACT. For CoE it’s a long shot, but for L&S you should have an average chance.</p>
