Possible to get into UC?
Taking 5 APs (Lang and communitcation, Physics, CSA, Calc AB and Stats) in Junior yr currently . I think will get 4's in four courses of them and one of them mostly 3/5. Did I screw up my UC college admissions. I want to get into UCSD CS or allied computer science program. Current Unweighted GPA is 3.58 and weighted in 3.75 for 10th Grade. I am not sure of it.
I am in Junior year.
Hey, I get why you’re worried, but you honestly didn’t mess anything up. You’re only in 10th grade, and taking 5 APs already shows you’re pushing yourself more than most students your age. Getting mostly 4s and maybe one 3 is still solid; AP scores aren’t even a major factor for UC admissions. They care way more about your grades and how you grow over time.
UCSD CS is super competitive for everyone, even people with really high GPAs, so don’t take it personally. You still have plenty of time to show an upward trend, build strong CS-related activities, and write great essays..
You should definitely still apply to UCSD, but keep a balanced list of UCs and CS-related majors.
I am in Junior yr and not in Sophomore.
Well, what are the AP classes?
Lang and communitcation, Physics, CSA, Calc AB and Stats
