My stats are okay for most of the schools I’m applying to but I don’t really have anything else other than that. I know that’s a problem a lot of people struggle with, not being a leader. I participate willingly, but it’s difficult to get into a leadership position. I have a few more safety schools I am applying to which may be a bit much honestly but I’m more confident about those. Think I’m just stressed about applying for engineering major when it’s so impacted and there are amazing people applying.

Capped weighted UC/CSU GPA?
Other than SLO, the Cal states do not consider EC’s

for all CA publics, URM and gender doesn’t matter at all.

With your stats, all the CSUs, CP SLP included are very likely to accept you. You are also competitive for all the UCs but, for stats like yours, they can be hard to predict - your essays are independently evaluated by each campus. My guess is 7 of the 9 UCs will accept you. Which 7, that’s harder to say so, apply broadly.

good luck.

GPA of 4.20 or above (capped weighted) and not major specific:
UCB: 42%
UCLA: 54%
UCSD: 87%
UCSB: 85%
UCD: 91%
UCI: 94%
UCSC: 95%
UCR/UCM: 98%

Your are very competitive so best of luck.

You ought to post on the Architecture board.
