Requested (6 days after submissions)
3.97-4.0 UW GPA; 4.23-4.33 W GPA (depends on whether they count my community college courses in their GPA calculations or not…one of the CC courses I took was my only B XD)
ACT: 32 (E: 35, M: 35, R: 30, S: 26, W: 25)
SAT: (New SAT-highest sitting) 1460 (EBRW: 700, M: 760, Essay: 20)
(New SAT-superscore) 1470 (EBRW: 700, M: 770, Essay: 21)
(Old SAT) 1820 (CR: 520, M: 710, W: 590) <-- took it in 10th grade
Good EC’s: Math Club/Honor Society (Vice President), UIL Academics (Regionals Qualifier), Computer Science Club (President), Track & Field (District Finalist), STEM Academy Ambassador (leadership position itself)
(I mentioned in my additional comments that I am also involved in DECA and FBLA)
100+ Hours of Community Service (I mentioned in my additional comments that my school recorded 112.25 hours of community services from 9th-11th grade)
Good Awards: AP Scholar with Distinction, National Merit Commended, UIL Regionals Qualifier, NSHSS (Ambassador), Track & Field District Finalist
Major: EECS + Business Administration (MET program)
Out-of-state (Texas, but was born in California, but that doesn’t help )
Asian Female (though UC doesn’t look at the Asian part, but female does help me a bit, because of my major)

I probably got requested for 3 reasons: (1) Out-of-state applicant (2) My major (3) Test scores (overall they would be above average (my ACT and New SAT scores), but since I’m an out-of-state applicant, that’s a different story).
