CPP is not a bad school at all for CS & the campus is really gorgeous. I hope you get one of your other choices, but just wanted to throw some love for CPP out there.

UC GPA: 3.5
Cum GPA: 2.9

Essays:
I’m confident my essay prompts and executions were lovely, but there’s a ton of competition so I’m hoping my establishing a network in my field of work already is what is giving me an edge.

Applied: USC, UCLA, UCSB, and UCSD
Rejected: UCLA (tbh, their staff is hella pretentious, and my email communications were like pulling teeth, so idgaf)
Waitlisted: UCSB and UCSD
Pending: USC (tbh USC is my first choice but responses aren’t scheduled till May 21st :sweat_smile:)

If I did have to attend a UC, UCSD is where I’d love the city, people, and either of my major choices!

I hope my arrogance in only applying to UCs doesn’t screw me :sob:
