<p>I’m seriously considering applying to UCLA and UC berkeley. I haven’t looked in to upper tier schools because idk my school is extremely competitive and there are lots of people more qualified than me and only barley a handful get into places like MIT + Cal tech + ivies. Plus I gotta make sure places I apply to don’t check first semester senior year for admission (i dont care if they check afterwards) as I’m currently getting my ass handed to me in calc. </p>
