Getting into an Engineering major?

[northwoodian]

<p>I'm a current senior and UCI is my first choice (I live in Irvine, and I would LOVE to stay close to home)</p>

<p>I want to major in biomedical engineering, but I hear the program is hard to get into. How true is this?</p>

<p>3.7 W UC gpa
30 ACT (retaking, hoping for a 34)
competitive Irvine HS
Mainly honors/AP classes
tough senior year schedule
healthy mix of club leadership, sports, ASB, volunteering. </p>

<p>My stats and UCI results:
3.66 unweighted
4.29 weighted
4.00 capped UC
2300 SAT
computer science
waitlisted</p>

<p>I was also rejected by UCB, UCLA, UCSD, and Cal Poly SLO for computer science. I was waitlisted by UCD for civil engineering.</p>

<p>I do not know if biomedical engineering is more or less selective than computer science, but you will probably be rejected by UC Irvine.</p>
