<p>What are some good schools with strong computer science departments and a strong social scene for a student with a mediocre GPA (~3.2)
That are LAC’s also.</p>
<p>Also, does UWash seem way out of reach for me?</p>
<p>UCLA has a nice one I have been told. I am currently in University of Washington and am enjoying it, it is one of the top 15 public universities in the US. Other nice ones are CalTech (I am not sure a 3.2 will get you in though).
Ahhh so you are interested in UDub, a 3.2 can be fine AS LONG AS YOU do early admission! And also you have to have some type of fine arts classes behind you (band, art, media etc) and have some type of extra curricular. If you have all that getting into UW will be possible.</p>
<p>what does early admission mean? I thought UW doesnt have early action/decision? I have Studio art/Advanced Photography - will that suffice? and yes, i have good ec’s</p>
