<p>sm@ckth@t: Yeah, EECS is probably a high match for you (Letters and Science CS is probably a match/low match for you as long as you don't totally bomb your essays or something). Good luck!</p>
<p>otrebmu: That's really not enough information to go by...extracurriculars? essays? major/college? etc. etc. At this point, I can only say probably reach. The SAT is okay, but the GPA is kind of weak.</p>
<p>stueydue: SAT is weak, but I think the rest of the profile makes up for it. ELC is a plus. Is your friend in-state? (in-state would probably be a match; OoS is never a match unless you're an IMO medalist or something)</p>
<p>Ryan81520: GPA is weaker; SAT is decent. Extracurriculars seem kind of disjointed (no real commitment) unless you can show that you were dedicated to something over 3+ years (various clubs < one or two clubs that you were really into). I'd say low reach to high match, depending on your essay topic and depth.</p>
