Chance me 4 CS (First Gen College student, low income family)

@ucbalumnus pretty much covered the possible NorCal options for CS. Do you have any safety schools on your list? SFSU, Chico State, Sac State???

UC Davis and Santa Cruz should be on your list as noted.

First generation will be considered, but Race/Ethnicty is not a consideration for the UC’s and Cal states.

Santa Clara University is a good option if NPC shows affordability.

You look like a competitive applicant but USC and UCB should be considered Reach schools so you need to expand you list with some Target schools: UCD and UCSC along with a few safeties.
