While myDec 05 2016Computer Science
While my SAT was mediocre (2120), my GPA was relatively terrible, being around 3.3 (although I had a 3.8/4.3 senior year). I had done internships, competed in international competitions, and did a bunch of stuff inside school that was related to my intended major. Although I didn't do one, doing the optional interview should really increase your chance of getting in.
