<p>So two blondes walk into a building, you'd think one of them would have seen it coming.
Anyways, I hope that was enjoyable. No offense to blondes, it was just an easy joke to remember.</p>

<p>I want to apply to UCLA and Cal, and I'm asking for constructive criticism as a way to relieve some stress. </p>

<p>I want to apply to a Computer Science and Engineering Major at UCLA, and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UC Berkeley.</p>

<p>Any feedback would help me tremendously, and thank you in advance for taking the time to read this thread!</p>

<p>i honestly don’t think you’ll have a problem at all getting into either of those schools.</p>

3

<p>Total match.</p>

<p>SAT I is average at best, but everything else is good to go.</p>

<p>Thanks guys :)</p>

<p>Wow, I was basically exactly you 4 years ago. I am currently a 4th year computer science major at UCLA. </p>

<p>I had a 4.0 unweighted GPA applying to UCLA, though I received two B’s the last semester (which doesn’t matter)</p>

<p>31 ACT
620 Chem and 750 Math in SAT II
Identical AP classes, and extra curricular ******** like NHS, club leader etc.
I did have 4 years of orchestra; however, I never played competitively in regional/state stuff.</p>

<p>I ended up getting admitted to both Berkeley and UCLA Computer Science.</p>

<p>HOWEVER, I applied as an OUT OF STATE student with NO financial aid. This may make a big difference, since schools want $$$$.</p>

<p>Good luck though! I think you have a chance in getting in at least one.</p>

<p>Haha that’s legit :smiley: that’s great to know!!</p>
