UC Irvine, UCLA, Stanford Chances

@UCmaximillian With 3.67 UC GPA, UC Irvine is a reach.

In the past 3 months, I’ve done a lot of research on UC Irvine to find out how I stand: (My top school choice)

Based on this PDF, the average for computer science/Engineering is about a 4.05+ UC GPA.

Your ACT is great, but UC Irvine is more of a GPA school, and weights SATs and ACTs less heavily.
Your GPA is considerably far off from what is reasonable, and your ACT can only patch that up to some extent.

UCLA is even more brutal for CS. My friends with 4.5 weighted GPAs and 2200+ SATs decided to not apply for computer science in UCLA because they know how selective the program is; in short, don’t expect to get in. :frowning:

Stanford is a crap-shoot for even the top notch students with insane 4.7 GPAs and 2300+ SATs. I would expect close to a 0% chance of admission into stanford because you don’t even fall into the 4.0 GPA range. You have focused extra circulars for computer science but in comparison to the pool of Stanford applicants, that’s just mediocre.

I hope I didn’t sound harsh but I trying to be real here.

Hopefully your essays were strong and you applied to many backups. On a bright note, UC’s can be unpredictable, and there is an enrollment expansion for undergrads at UC’s next fall (you can google this).
