Major: Comp Sci
GPA/Test Scores (optional): 3.8/4 UW, 4.1/5 W, 33 ACT but taking again with hopefully better scores

If you want to be in the tech industry, maybe apply to more schools in silicon valley or San Francisco. Ex: Santa Clara Uni, SJSU, Stanford, etc

#

If you are interested in UC Davis, you should probably consider all the other UC's as well. UCSD, UCLA, UCB, they all have really renowned cs programs. The UC application is just 4 PIQ essays, so you can send it to as many UC campuses as you want. Def consider other UC's if your planning to apply to Davis
