<p>XeN0cidE, thanks for answering for me :D You would know where I go because you go to MSHS too, duh!</p>

<p>By the way...</p>

<p>Can a boring essay make me get rejected from UCI with the stats that I have?</p>

<p>and</p>

<p>How is the computer science program at UCI in comparison to the other schools that I'm applying to?</p>

12

<p>I have to agree with Charlie's World. With such a strong GPA and really great SAT scores you are a shoe in to all except possibly UCLA. (apply to Cal too!) With both a high API school and a low income/first generation to college you have excellent chances everywhere in the UC system. Good luck!</p>

13

<p>Great App for UCI- definite safety
UCLA- a possibility however is only 60% probable because you application is (no offense) somewhat DRY. so if good essay, you'll probably get in.
the other schools you'll get into anyways because of the special circumstances you listed.
anyways---GOOD LUCK!</p>

14

<p>No offense taken... I think my application is dry myself haha.</p>

<p>I appreciate the responses! Can anybody answer my two questions though? :D</p>

15

<p>no</p>

<p>i dont know.</p>

16

<p>UCI/UCSB/UCD: Match/slight reach
Berkeley/UCLA: reach (less than 10% chance of getting in)
UCSD: reach, I'd give you a 30-40% chance of getting in there.</p>
