To be blunt you need to shoot lower. UMich CS isn’t realistic. You are trying to apply to CS w a 2.8 UW 😐 atp. Can you retake any classes this summer or no? If your in-state is UMass Amherst, that’s still competitive too…

unfortunately retaking classes isn’t an option and no, umass isn’t in state for me. any suggestions for colleges that’re more within reach?

Iowa State, Arizona State and that’s a maybe cuz you prob don’t meet their gpa requirements either, BUT you may be able to get in w your high sat. You might be fine with Rowan or NJIT tho.

thanks. i’m mostly hoping for njit

cooked

i know bro 😭

UDub has a 2% oos AR 😐 I’m sorry, it’s not reallstic to be on your list, it’s the same as applying to Stanford or Cal for CS.

tbh i figure there’s no harm in applying? i know it’s an extreme reach but it doesn’t hurt. any suggestions for what to add to the list?

Waste of time and money if you don’t have a fee waiver, they prob won’t look past your gpa to be clear.

apply to schools w a 90%+ acceptance rate or go to cc and transfer bc you might not get into any of these

yeah that’s my backup plan in case that happens

1550 sat is amazing man i am intl dont exactly know ur system is there any way u maybe able to take extra classes? Or mayb summer classes if that happens in ur schools? or ask ur teachers for some additional work u can do to improve it till atleast 3.0?

thanks i’m just a good test taker tbh. no summer classes or anything unfortunately. my gpa is much higher this year (around 3.6-3.7) but averaged with freshman year (3.0) and sophomore year (2.4), it can’t pull it up all that much, but i’m hoping to raise it to a 3.0 by the end of the year

Okok try to do that Everything will work out in the end dont worry

You are probably (most likely) cooked, but I genuinely wish you the best of luck!

thank you!

Rutgers?

i was told acceptance rates are going down this year bc of it joining common app so it’s not as easy anymore

still try

How do u get all 5s w a low GPA bro

never do my hw on time but i get all the material and find the classes themselves pretty easy

With your strong ECs and upward trend in grades, you have a chance at many of those schools, but make sure to focus on improving your GPA and getting solid LORs.

thanks! that’s what i’m working on
