<p>Hey guys, I am starting to get very worried about my chances of getting into any decent college. I am a junior in California and have a 2.8 overall gpa. I have taken a few Ap history classes and intend to my senior year. Also have some decent Ec like being an Eagle Scout and a few years on varsity track. I personally dont consider state schools that good besides Cal Poly and SDSU, and i dont think i have a very good chance or getting into either. I really wanna get into some UC's or any other good schools? I realize Riverside and Merced are the most likely options but is there any chance I can get into somthing better with an amazing SAT score? Also, how high would an SAT score need to be to outweigh my gpa, as I believe it might be the only thing to make up for it.</p>
<p>Don’t the UC’s require 3.0 minimum GPA? Unless you have very extenuating circumstances, they don’t accept people with that low GPA.</p>
