    **************PLANNING ON SELF-STUDYING FOR AP COMPUTER SCIENCE

CS is one of the most competitive majors at the UC’s so both schools will be tough admits. Your SAT is puts at the around the 50th percentile for both schools and your GPA is well within range. EC’s seem well rounded and having a leadership position is a plus.

25th - 75th percentiles for SAT:

UCLA: 1280-1500
UCSD: 1250-1470

Freshman admit rates for UC GPA (capped weighted) of 4.20 or above:
UCLA: 54%
UCSD: 87%

UCSD looks more likely than UCLA but you are definitely qualified for both. Best of luck.
