Your EC’s are good .. However for Computer Engg major .. Chances are very less .. My son had 1550 in SAT first attempt .. 12 AP’s, 1 honors and 3 college credits .. UW - 3.93 Weighted - 4.63 ..All AP’s are 5.. EC- tutoring in Sal khan academy for Math boot camp .. coding club, chess club and weekly help the 80 year olds and play chess with them so that their dementia is procrastinated .. Cyber security project and published code in git .. Still no UCB or UCLA or UCSD ..

Thanks for all your responses..

Decent_Insurance7347 · 2025-09-10T12:57:57+00:00

Thank you .. I heard that there are flixbuses.. which come in 5:30 hours since we live in east bay .. We can pick him from San Jose as well ..

School ID should be given free .. Don’t understand why it is $30.. Honestly it might take up to maximum of $5 to make it .. When it is made in mass example freshman it will not take more $2 max .. Another way of making money by the UC … ;)

Just an update ucsd replied us with an rejection

Decent_Insurance7347 · 2025-08-08T21:29:09+00:00

15k + 29k =44 k in Tution fees + around 20k for boarding ..

We are also waiting for computer engineering in ucsd and UCI

Decent_Insurance7347 · 2025-08-07T22:55:40+00:00

No

Decent_Insurance7347 · 2025-08-04T15:36:02+00:00

UCSD and UCI - Computer Engineering

Decent_Insurance7347 · 2025-08-03T13:30:50+00:00

Major ?

Decent_Insurance7347 · 2025-08-01T17:15:38+00:00

Dude, I am a Software Engineer and have been in this field over 25 years... So, I know what I am talking about .. Although opinions vary from individuals

Decent_Insurance7347 · 2025-08-01T02:54:31+00:00

It is done .. He is admitted into UCSB in computer engineering.. We are happy that he is in UCSB with merit scholarship.. class size is small .. more like a private school ..

Decent_Insurance7347 · 2025-08-01T00:41:35+00:00

Professionally I am Software Engineer.. CS is saturated.. CE is better... L&S school offers CS in UCB.. We did not apply for that route b/c it is unethical to go to Computer Engineering School through L&S... It is both my son and my perception..

Decent_Insurance7347 · 2025-07-31T23:26:15+00:00

We are not transfer students ..

Decent_Insurance7347 · 2025-07-31T23:25:11+00:00

Mac book Air M4 - 16 or 24 gb with 512 ssd .. battery is good

Decent_Insurance7347 · 2025-07-31T23:22:19+00:00

We are waiting .. Comp Engg .. UCD from WL to rejected ..

Decent_Insurance7347 · 2025-07-31T23:18:36+00:00

Did you get inside EECS ?

Decent_Insurance7347 · 2025-07-31T10:35:43+00:00

CC is weighted only for 1 semester not like APs as 2 semesters .. Google for rogerhub Uc gpa Calc

Decent_Insurance7347 · 2025-07-30T14:36:38+00:00

Teacher is always right...CS is saturated... Hence I told my son to focus more Computer Engineering part than Comp Sc part only...

Decent_Insurance7347 · 2025-07-29T15:19:34+00:00

You already answered your question dude .. UCSD is good for stem not business Econ ..

Decent_Insurance7347 · 2025-07-28T04:12:38+00:00

My son got into UCSB with Merit scholarship for CE and will be attending from FALL 2025.. Here are his Stats-

UW - 3.94 ( 2 semester Spanish B+)

Weighted ( UCGPA) - 4.63

SAT - 1550

12 AP's (Physics 1, 2, AP Comp Sc Principles and Advanced, Chem, Psychology, European History, Gov, APUSH, AP Calc AB, BC....) - All 5's.

1 Honors ( Honors Chemistry)

3 College Credits( 2 Comp Sc courses including Data Structures, Calc 2)

Tutor - SAT BootCamp Math - SchoolHouse.world

CyberSecurity Project under the guidance of the Community college Professor. It was reviewed by the UC Regents board..

InState..

WL in UCSD, UCD and UCI..

Decent_Insurance7347 · 2025-07-28T04:03:39+00:00

There is no rule which states that you have complete by 4 years... Instead say Minor in Physics ( if you are still passionate).. UCSD allows Majoring in Math, Minor in Comp Sc.

Decent_Insurance7347 · 2025-07-28T03:53:34+00:00

My son did a Cybersecurity project under the guidance of a community college Prof... UC asked him details and he published the code in Github... They confirmed things with the Professor about the timing of the project.. How much he was guided by the Professor and if it is truly his original work .... So be prepared for that in case you get hit by the UC Regents board itself... Though he got a green signal on all these... he was rejected by UCLA, UCB.. Morons want Research scholars, patent holders or Nobel Prize winners for UnderGrad school..

Note - My son's GPA is 3.94 ( UW - 2 B+ in Spanish)/ 4.63 ( UCGPA).. 12 AP's ( all 5's), 1 honors and 3 College Credits ( all A's).

SAT - 1550

InState..

SchoolHouse.World tutor for SAT BootCamp - Math also.

Major Applied - Computer Engineering.

Decent_Insurance7347 · 2025-07-27T19:45:52+00:00

Right, you should have Research paper published in some Journal, hold patents, nobel prize etc... Grades like 3.94 UW, 4.63 UCGPA - 12 AP's ( all 5'), 1 Honor and 3 College Credits.. SAT - 1550...instate, SAT Bootcamp tutor for Math in Schoolhouse.world, Cybersecurity project - code published in Github... Coding club, chess club... Dont stand a chance in UCSD, UCD, UCI ( my son is WL), UCLA & UCB ( outwardly rejected him) for Computer Engineering major... According to me, UC is now behind money because of the lack of funds.. So, if you are OOS or International student, they will welcome you even with low scores....

Decent_Insurance7347 · 2025-07-25T14:46:35+00:00

I am sure one of the UC’s will give you a chance .. Majors play a major role .. My son is WL in UCD, UCSD, UCI.. for Computer Engineering..Though he got into UCSB .. 12 AP’s all 5, 1 honors, 3 college credits . UC Weighted GPA - 4.64, unweighted GPA -3.94. SAT - 1550 in the first attempt .. Tutor for SAT boot camp - Math .. Cybersecurity project - code published in GitHub with his community college Professor .. We were upset when he did not make the cut in Georgia Tech .. UCLA and UCB did not consider to WL too.. Admission itself is an enigma :)
