What course?

5

English

6

Now let’s ask about rigor. Please list mathematics and science courses, and any AP/IB scores.

7

SFSU: Safety
SDSU: Low Match
UCI: Match
UCLA: Reach

GPA is competitive, SAT needs to be bumped up into the 2000+ range for UCLA.

You can get pretty cozy on getting into one or more of the above, but which ones. Hmm. Let’s ask more questions.

Where did you learn to program (Java/C++)? And on the web side?

We need to make sure your 3 doesn’t end UCI/UCLA. What got you interested in CS/applied math, and would you like to pursue research as an undergraduate? Entering undeclared could be a showstopper.
