<p>PROSPECTIVE MAJOR:</p>
<p>Computer Science</p>
<p>** CHANCE ME AND I WILL CHANCE YOU BACK **</p>
<p>i just wanted to know my chances with hte following academics please:</p>
<p>UC GPA: 4.3
SAT: 1830 (but i just retook- felt more confident?)
SAT II 650/620/600
math, spanish, bio</p>
<p>i take a lot of AP classes too,
I have pretty good EC’s-
robotics, physics club, head chef of Indian club, president of poetry club, and self-learn sanskrit.
400+ hours volunteering
i have ELC
i have two jobs (at the same place) ~25 hours per week +/-
at our school we have a 4X4 and majority of the classes i have taken are college prep (the a-g req) so maybe 40+ classes?</p>
<p>so chance me for:
UCLA
UCB
UCSD
UCI <= ELC so i know ive gotten in already.</p>
<p>my major for UCSD would be pharmacological chemistry, but the UCB/UCLA it would be Bio Chem</p>
<p>Do I have a chance at any UC?
I’m a California resident and really hoping to go to a UC by applying for admission by exception. </p>
<p>The reason I’m applying for admission by exception is because I grew up with only my mother and little brother. I come from a low income family, my mother only makes 19k annually. In the 9th grade, my mother was diagnosed with cancer and was unable to work, our house was almost foreclosed and we were almost evicted. I had to get a part time job and work after school to try and make money for monthly payments (because my mom was bedridden) as well as watching over my little brother (taking him to school, babysitting, etc.) Due to this, my grades started to drop resulting in an extremely low GPA. I’ll address these issues in my personal statement.</p>
<p>Stats:
Male, Asian (Vietnamese)
CA Resident
12th Grade
First generation American</p>
<p>Academic GPA Non-weighted: 2.62
Weighted GPA: 2.72
APs: Environmental Science (2 on AP Test), Calculus AB (In Progress), Biology (In Progress)
Honors: Chemistry, American Literature
School doesn’t rank students.
My GPA for sophomore year was 3.5 and 3.1 (1st/2nd Semester), I received C’s in both semesters of chemistry.
I started working after 1st semester of sophomore year and I received straight D’s first semester of Junior Year (1.6 GPA), second semester my grades went up but only slightly (2.3 GPA)</p>
<p>ACT with Writing: 28 Composite (Took twice, received 28 on both)</p>
<p>SAT2:
Ecological Biology - Just took
US History - Just took
Math II - Just took</p>
<p>Intended Major: Computer Science
Alt Major: Cognitive Science</p>
<p>Extracurriculars/Activities:
Boy Scouts (Since age 7, will obtain Eagle in about 3 months)
Marching Band (Grade 9-12, Section Leader for Saxophones)
Key Club (11-12)
Community service (300+ hours)</p>
<p>2 Jobs:
Sales Associate at Furniture store (Summer before sophomore year)
Intern at Wave Systems Corp., a software engineering company. (2nd semester Sophomore year to present) </p>
<p>My mom was able to start working again so our total income is about 24,000 annually.</p>
<p>I’m really hoping to get accepted at UC Santa Cruz or UC Riverside. Maybe even some of the higher tiers. Would my background be enough to justify my grades?
Thanks.</p>
