Hi,
I’m currently a high school senior and have already finished applying to colleges, could someone please chance me? I applied to all UCs, except Riverside and Merced, CalPoly Slo and Pomona, SDSU, anc CSU Long Beach. I applied for a civil engineering major for all schools, or a cognitive science/psychology for those that did not offer civil engineering. I took Physics Honors my junior year, and am currently taking AP Government/Economics, but didn’t report any AP tests or subject tests. I know that with a lack of these tests and extracurriculars, it would significantly lower my chances for a more competitive school, like UCLA, especially for an engineering major.
My Stats:
-ACT: 30
-Weighted GPA: 4.00
ECs:
-Varsity sideline and competition cheer teams for 3 years, became captain of both teams, along with jv (title of overall captain) senior year, and have received multiple awards for cheer
-National Honor Society for 3 years
What is your ACT breakdown, Math especially? Did you take any SAT subject tests since these are recommended for Engineering
majors?
You look good for CSULB, Cal Poly Pomona and SDSU. SLO will be a slight Reach.
For the UC’s, UCSC looks likely and possibly UCD, UCI and UCSB. UCSD, UCB and UCLA will be Moderate to High Reach schools. A lack of HS rigor could hurt unless your school does not offer many AP’s.
The admit rates below (most current) are not major specific so expect for Engineering to require above average stats and lower admit rates.
2018 Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 3.80-4.19 capped weighted and not major specific:
UCB: 10%
UCLA: 9%
UCSD: 34%
UCSB: 38%
UCD: 41%
UCI: 38%
UCSC: 70%
UCR: 84%
UCM: 95%
