Junior Transfer
Applying to: Brown, University of Pennsylvania, Rice, UCLA, Berkeley, UCSB
Major: Computer Science
College GPA: 3.94 (might drop a little this quarter)
High school GPA/rank: Like 3.6/top 15-20%. I'm hoping this won't matter as much as a junior transfer.
SAT: 2260
Transfer from: UC Riverside
EC: Mostly my band. I write the music and it's a big time commitment.
Strengths: Difficult course schedule, good reasons for transfer (at least for Brown in particular, since that's my top choice by far and I've visited and know a lot about the school)
Financial aid: Yes, family income < 60,000
