i’d personally add maybe 1 or 2 more safeties since CS is pretty competitive @ UC schools

one tip i would suggest is if you don’t think a school won’t accept you for CS solely based on the acceptance rate, apply undecided, then switch back majors

Cal poly slo is super super competitive for cs and iirc, they only look at your grades (not even ecs) so you would definitely need to have a perfect transcript for it

#

I also agree with adding 1-2 more safeties and more reasonable target schools as ucsb and ucsd are difficult oos as well

“In general, the CSU campuses do not consider extracurricular activities or require/accept essays, but some campuses, including Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, do a “light” review of extracurricular activity involvement and leadership.”
