Wth no one is even chancing you ppl…ur just posting stats and sitting there…ok…</p>

<p>I’ll chance you guys. I’m a UCSB Computer Engineering Major C/O 2017 (First Year)</p>

<p>MisterFoxy - Decent GPA, lowish ACT, but senior class president. I think you might have a good chance of getting in.</p>

<p>Sierra - Woman in engineering? Good chance, although if 3.8 is weighted GPA that’s kinda low and low ACT. I’d say 40% chance. </p>

<p>m3answer - You’ll probably get in. Your GPA is low but SAT is great and you aren’t applying for engineering (you probably wouldn’t get into engineering). </p>

<p>Mustafa - GPA kinda low for Computer Science. I think you’d get into Financial Math. </p>

<p>IndFalcon - You should be able to get into Bio, I’d say 60% chance.</p>

<p>Major: ChemE alt major is physics if it matters
Race: Hispanic and White
Disabilities: ADD
I go to a private school and live in CA
UC GPA: 3.0
ACT Scores: Highest- 31 (30 Reading, 34 Math, 30 English, 29 Science, 8 on Essay), other ACT- 30 (26 Reading, 29 Math, 29 English, 34 Science, 8 on Essay)

I also received an A- in a mandatory class that is a non a-g requirement</p>

<p>This semester is the same except I have Psychology instead of microeconomics and economics instead of government (all of these are 1 semester classes)</p>

<p>Wrote my Essay on how I changed from being lazy and shy to hardworking and friendly, which helps explain my low GPA. Counselor said it was one of the best she has ever read and I edited it several times with the help of an English Teacher.</p>

25 Hours as a private tutor for a middle school student

co-leader of my school’s new fitness club only for this year though cause it started this year</p>

<p>Award: Varsity Letter in Football</p>

<p>Note: My School does not offer AP Chemistry which is why I am not taking it</p>

<p>I think it’s a reach for me but I might have a chance, definitely more realistic than UCLA for me haha</p>

<p>@Beamers: greatly appreciate if you can chance my S applying for Fall 2014, Electrical Engineering (second choice is Computer engineering).
GPA w 4.03 / uw 3.75
SAT 2080
ACT 30
Lot of honor & AP classes (some semesters were loaded with all AP classes)
Some awards, some EC’s volunteer works in the community.
In-state.</p>

<p>We applied for UCI, UCLA, UCSD & UCSB. Haven’t from any of them. The suspense is really killing me. But I guess we’re all in the same boat (more Prozac, Xanax…). I think my S is not at the top nor at the bottom neither (which explained why he didn’t get any early admission acceptance like a few others, nor he got the supplemental questionaire). Am I thinking right?</p>

<p>Your “S” looks ok maybe he will get in with those stats I’m kinda similar actually so we will see. Maybe get in. Maybe not. Whatever at this point. And do me a favor, just say son is it that much harder than actually capitalizing “S” I mean really…it’s prob easier to just type out son lol idk why ppl do that stuff like</p>

<p>“My D is going to get into Harvard”</p>

<p>LOL oh is your D going to get into Harvard!? Didn’t know they accept body parts lolololol</p>

<p>hmm… having a bad day or just PMS, Ghiigh33?</p>

<p>And do us a favor, based on your post comment history if you don’t have any valuable input or anything nice to say then zip it!!</p>

<p>Lol alrighty teacher!</p>
