Hi Everyone,

I’m a current UCSC alum interested in transferring to U of M LSA as a sophomore for CS. Apps for us are due in about a month and a half, but I was interested in seeing how my odds are looking for transfer admission. I believe my HS GPA is the worst part of my application, but since I have 29 quarter credits from the Summer and Fall quarters, I don’t know how much U of M will look at my HS GPA.

Here are my HS stats:

1.) GPA Unweighted: 3.356

2.) SAT: 1500 (Math: 800, Reading/Writing: 700), Best Essay: 20/24

3.) Went to an extremely competitive high school but had relatively decent ECs (Founded a tutoring organization that teaches chess and programming, did a software test engineering internship, did an internship at MathEdge, Secretary of Youth Public Policy Institute)

Here are my UCSC stats:

1.) Current GPA Unweighted: 3.87, Projected GPA Unweighted: 3.7 - 3.78 (Taking CSE12, one of the hardest lower-division CS classes and will receive B or B+)

2.) 29 quarter units (Summer 2020 + Fall 2020)

3.) ECs: Involved in Google DSC club and doing an independent mathematics/computer science research project.

4.) Ok/Good Essays

5.) Hoping to get an academic recommendation letter from Math and Writing professors
