Hi, I’m currently a high school junior who wants to major in either computer engineering or mechanical engineering. It’s hard for me to get a good representation if I can get accepted or not because engineering majors are impacted. I have fairly strong extracurriculars, but they are all unrelated to my major. What are my chances?
Schools:UCLA, Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, UCSD, UCSB
UC GPA: 4.17 W and 3.66 UW as of right now(I did really poorly first semester junior year and got 4 B’s and I expect to get all A’s and 1 B this semester. I will probably have a 4.29 W and 3.72 UW by the end of junior year.)
ACT:29 without prep/I think I can get it up to 33
School doesn’t rank
Current courseload: Honors Precalc/Trig, AP Physics 1, AP Lang, Wind Ensemble, AP Chem, APUSH
Extracurriculars: Track and Field Captain, going to be 3 years on varsity by senior year, 1 year jv
Marchingband Captain
Winter Drumline Captain
Wind Ensemble Section leader
Over the summer work experience at a tutoring place
Programming self study
I am really concerned about my first semester junior year grades. In my sophomore year I got a 4.17 W and 3.86 UW, so if I do well second semester junior year, will the one poor semester hurt my chances?
