Hey there! I'm thinking of applying to UC Davis for computer science. Can anyone tell me what their acceptance rate is for CS majors?
Hey! UC Davis is a great choice for computer science. While the university does not publish acceptance rates specifically for individual majors, I can still provide some useful information.
UC Davis, as a whole, had an acceptance rate of around 41% for the Fall 2023 admissions cycle. However, keep in mind that computer science is typically a more competitive major at many universities, including UC Davis. It's likely that the acceptance rate for CS majors might be somewhat lower than the overall acceptance rate. To give yourself the best chance, make sure to have a strong application with a solid GPA, a rigorous course load, relevant extracurricular activities, and compelling essays.
Additionally, UC schools use holistic admissions, meaning they consider your entire application, not just your academics. Make sure to showcase your passion for computer science in your essays and highlight any prior experience, projects, or achievements related to the field.
Remember that UC Davis is just one of the many campuses in the UC system, and many of them also have strong computer science programs. Consider applying to other UC schools as well to maximize your chances of being admitted into a great program. Good luck with your application!
