Hi I’m a senior who just got rejected from Cornell lololol
SAT: 1480/1600 (690 English 790 Math)
SAT2: Math 2 740 Chem 720 ( yup tbh i didnt study for these tests lololol and got low scores)
AP: Psychology 4 (but I dont think this would affect my application much)
Gpa: terrible lmao 3.65-7/4.0 I guess (approximate)

universities i’m thinking to apply: University of Michigan, CMU, Georgia Tech, UCLA, UC Berkeley, UCSD, USC, UC Irvine, UIUC, Northwestern, Rice, Emory, Georgetown, BU and BC

EC: some volunteer experiences / clubs/ etc…nothing very special. I moved from a non-English speaking country to Canada during gr 10 so i didn’t have time to take care of my ecs …Why is English so hard? lolol

@Hiddle, I hope you have already applied to the UC’s since the application deadline was November 30?

UC’s use their own GPA calculation: https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/

Post Capped weighted and Fully Weighted UC GPA. Are you a California resident since you state you moved to Canada? Or International?

@Gumbymom Yup, I applited to the UCs last month! and I’m an international!

I think your GPA will keep you out of the top UC’s although your SAT score is very competitive. You and your family are OK with paying $60K+/year to attend the UC’s? UCI would probably the mostly likely to accept you. Best of luck.
