<p>Looking to major in computational mathematics</p>

<p>Yeah my GPA is horrible but i was hoping my advance level of mathematics will offset it maybe?
Chance me please for UCB,UCLA,UCSD,USC, and Cal Poly SLO or suggest some schools that you think i would be suited for</p>

2

<p>LOL.</p>

<p>a 3.5? yeah that’s terrible…</p>

3

<p>We would need to know your UC GPA and for USC your rank.</p>

4

<p>UC GPA is 3.75 and my class rank should be within top 15-20%</p>

5

<p>Probably no at UCB and UCLA, you have a shot at SD and would get into most majors at Cal Poly. USC is a reach.</p>

6

<p>Out of the top 24 schools here [Rankings</a> - Math - Graduate Schools - Education - US News and World Report](<a href=“http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-mathematics-programs/rankings/]Rankings”>http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-mathematics-programs/rankings/)</p>

<p>Which ones do you guys think i can get into?</p>

7

<p>Is it true that UC’s weigh honors classes the same as AP?</p>

<p>Is that senior schedule something you have already taken, or are planning to take? Because, as someone who has taken all those classes while earning a physics degree (not at Stanford but at a pretty good school), I really think it is far wiser to pick a couple and do really well in them. To really understand that stuff requires concentration and effort, and I see no reason to take all the junior college level classes in your senior year of high school. Sure, you could probably pass, but would you really stand out in the classes? Probably not. Complex analysis and partial differential equations at Stanford is so far removed from basic calculus at a JC it is not even funny.</p>

<p>Of course, if you’ve already taken all that stuff and still have a 3.5 GPA, forget everything I’ve written. You’re a genius. I don’t know if you’ll be able to get in wherever you want with your grades and tests scores, but you probably should.
Just my 2 cents.</p>

9

<p>i think you should be ok at most UCs.</p>

10

<p>

Is this a joke?</p>

11

<p>^ Sarcasm. Getting better at recognizing it in typed form…</p>

12

<p>Are you IS or OOS? If you are in CA, this will make a difference in your favor.</p>

13

<p>I think you’d have a reasonable chance at NYU, Michigan, Rutgers, S Brook, Wisconsin and Maryland. Keep in mind those are grad school rankings and the ndergrad programs may or may not be as good. Also that if you need aid, none of these are good choices.</p>

14

<p>I disagree with Hmom5, I think USC, UCB, and UCLA, are high matches.</p>

15

<p>With that 7,000 in CR you can probably get into any college you want.</p>

16

<p>"Is it true that UC’s weigh honors classes the same as AP? "</p>

<p>Only if there is no AP/higher class alternative.</p>

17

<p>i dont see your gpa as being significantly low compared to the admissions statistics for most uc’s…
do you guys think i got a chance and UC Davis</p>

<p>My uc gpa: 3.62 weighted (yea i know…loww)
My sat score: math-780
cr- 600
writing-720
overall- 2100</p>

18

<p>bskballer, did you include the fact that UCs only weight 4 classes? >_>;;</p>

19

<p>Hurt…yea but it has to be a “uc-approved” honors course</p>

<p>some aren’t approved which sucks because I took honors chem last year because we dont have ap but its not approved as a weighted course in the uc system so it only counts as a normal course</p>

20

<p>hurt…yea that only includes two ap courses…my school doesn’t offer many of them</p>
