Match Me - Computer Science

The reach schools will look at course rigor as well as GPA. I don’t know if they look at AP scores or not, but many applicants to those schools will have 5’s on multiple AP’s. This is a head scratcher to me: Why AP CS principles if you already took AP CS A? What were your scores in the AP courses already completed, but for which you did not list the score - like AP Calculus BC? Are you a heritage speaker of Chinese? If so, that AP score is not likely to contribute much

What math are you taking now? The ones you listed as DE are not higher than AP Calc BC.
From what I hear for CS at UC’s, you may want to have backups that others have already suggested. You have a very good record and of course a great GPA. It will get you into ASU, UofA, Utah and many others. I am just not sure the course rigor is at the level for the reach schools you are aspiring to. Of course, you can apply to them - but look a broad range of universities if merit scholarships are a consideration.
