<p>My father is a professor at UCSD and once a chairman of the computer science department. Since UC's are public schools, would my dad's position help my admission chances into the uc system.</p>
<p>It probably won’t hurt your chances. What will help more would be good grades, high standardized test scores, a rigorous schedule (especially senior year), and an adequate amount of extracurricular activities.</p>
<p>In all likelihood, you’re in. A lot of publics (Cal Poly SLO comes to mind) have policies where if a parent is part of the university staff, you are automatically in.</p>
<p>do you think faculty at ucsd would help for berkeley or ucla admissions or is it considered irrelevant</p>
