What are my chances help

<p>Nobody can “chance” you using the test scores you hope to receive next fall. A 200+ increase is not impossible, but it is unlikely. You should be very pleased if you break 2000, and ecstatic if your scores go up by over 150 points. If, by “UNC,” you mean the Chapel Hill campus, then I have to say that it is a reach with your current scores. They have become very difficult for all out-of-state applicants, and they have a statutory mandate to admit at least 82% of each freshman class from within the state. Your weighted GPA is within range for UCLA and Berkeley, although you should calculate your UC-weighted GPA. They have their own formula, and that is what they will use for admissions. Your test scores are on the low side for them, and Computer Science/Engineering programs at those schools are highly selective (closer to Ivy-range). If you can afford a UC, I’d suggest looking at UCSB, Irvine or Davis, where you fall into the statistical range a little more comfortably. You would have a decent chance at NYU Arts & Sciences, but their Engineering school is also more competitive. I think that you should be able to get into all the Texas schools on your list, although I can’t speak for admissions into STEM programs at UT (I presume that they are also more difficult than other departments). </p>
