Hello, I am a rising senior, mostly interested in applying to UC’s but a few private colleges as well. I’m interested in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science, but am looking at Industrial Engineering as another possibility. Nor sure if relevant, but my high school is located in the Silicon Valley, so the majority of students are also aiming towards CS majors.

Chance me to:

MIT
NYU
Columbia

UCB
UCLA
UCD
UCI

Unweighted GPA: 3.76/4.00 <– This is one of my biggest weaknesses I believe, but I show a slight upward trend

SAT II: 790 Math II, 750 Bio M, 740 Chem (Should I retake Chem?)

AP Score: Sophomore Year: Calc BC - 5, Junior Year: Chemistry - 5, Comp Sci A - 5, Eng Lang/Comp - 5, Statistics - 5
