QUESTIONS: What are my chances for UCSD (dream school) and other UCs like UCI, UCD, UCSB, UCLA, and Berkeley? How competitive am I overall? What tier of UC do I fall into based on my stats? How strong my ECs look overall (balanced vs spike?) Also, I have started my essays and planning to get a rough draft done by the time summer break is over so I can have time to get it peer reviewed.

Any advice on building my college application is helpful!

WERE WE SUPPOSED TO PICK A SIDE OR NO BC I REALIZED I DID BUT AT THE SAME TIME I STATED THE FACTORS OF BOTH CHOICES SO IDK BUT IN MY THESIS I PICKED A SIDE

I THINK I SAID “Although trade school can be beneficial for those who do not seek the traditional route after high school, trade school can lead to unstable job stability and income; therefore, attending a four-year college is often more beneficial in the long run.”

CAN SOMEONE PLZ TELL ME IF IM COOKED AND WHAT UR THESIS WAS LIKE
