I got excellent grades, was in many clubs, and excelled in more than one sport. My SAT scores were not as high and I wanted them so I made up for it with extra-curriculars, community service and sports.

I just had good grades, and was in the military. You can do a tag agreement and get in with a bad gpa like a 2.00 or maybe a 2.5. I think for undergrad I would have been better of at a csu. The state schools may not have the competition or be as rigorous, but there emphasis is on undergrads, and that is just not the case with the UCs.

1300+ SAT, 4.3+ GPA, large amount of extracurricular activities.

Computer Science, Engineering, Pre-med are all excellent majors to select here. Do NOT go here for 'business' with the intention of pursuing a job in the business field. If you want to do a PHD in Economics however, it's a good school for that. I don't know too much about the other majors.
