I know at this point, my decision is already settled, but I’m getting extremely nervous as the UCs are unpredictable each year.
UC GPA: 3.8
SAT: 1500 (790 Math, 710 english)
800 SAT 2 math and 750 Sat 2 physics
APs/Honors taken: AP Physics 1 and AP Physics C Mechanics, AP Physics C E&M, Chemistry Honors, AP Macro, AP Stats, French 4 Honors, AP Calculus AB, Comp Sci
Electrical Engineering
Good ECs and Essays
So far I’ve gotten into SJSU, CPP, ASU, and waitlisted from Urbana-Champaign
Your UC GPA will be an issue as an EE applicant since it is below the 25th percentile (4.) however your SAT is at the 75th percentile. Definitely not an easy admit. EC’s and personal insight essays can help your chances.

Best of luck.

UC Forum Champion Note: It is considered rude to hijack another posters thread. If you want your Daughter to be chanced, you need to start her own thread. All chances should be directed to the original poster only.
Thank you.
UCSB Admissions Twitter is doing a countdown to decision releases for Tuesday!
