<p>I’ll try to make this as short as possible.</p>
<p>Graduated high school in May 2011. (Missed 2011 Fall semester deadlines for college.)
Will be applying to Fall 2012 semester.</p>
<p>I am: 18, Hispanic, live in California, parents make less than 50k a year(going to need a lot of financial aid), first generation going to college.</p>
<p>High school: 3.04 GPA weighted, ranked at 117 of 390, took Honors Pre-Cal my junior year but got a D both semesters, SAT(taking in Dec) hoping for a 1800+, did Track and field my senior year.</p>
<p>I want to major in either Computer Science or Engineering. </p>
<p>If you need any more info just ask. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Not sure if bumping is allowed. If it isn’t you may delete this post.</p>
<p>Are you sure you want to major in Computer Science when you got a D in Pre-Cal? I’ve heard that Computer Science gets into some concepts that will make you jump ship if you aren’t really comfortable with math.</p>
<p>Also, I’m not very familiar with California schools, but I would take a look here : [Cheapest</a> Universities in California (CA) (Lowest Tuition, In-State) | College Stats.org](<a href=“http://collegestats.org/colleges/california/lowest-instate-tuition/2]Cheapest”>http://collegestats.org/colleges/california/lowest-instate-tuition/2) , given it appears that cost will play a large role in your decision.</p>
