<p>I am looking for civil engineering schools in California that I have a good shot at getting into.</p>
<p>any info would be much appreciated.
THANKS!!!</p>
<p>Out of all California publics for which you have a realistic shot of admission, Cal Poly Pomona probably has the best known program for civil engineering, but if you’re low income, it may be unaffordable.</p>
<p>Here are a list of California publics which offer ABET accredited civil engineering.
Cal Poly SLO
Cal Poly Pomona
CSU Chico
CSU Fresno
CSU Fullerton
CSU Long Beach
CSU LA
CSU Northridge
CSU Sacramento
San Diego State
San Jose State
UC Berkeley
UC Davis
UC Irvine
UCLA </p>
<p>The UCs which offer civil are all, at the very least, reaches with your stats.</p>
<p>CAL POLY SLO
Cal Poly Pomona
UC-Irvine
UC- Santa Cruz</p>
<p>Try the net price calculators on the various schools to see what their financial aid offer estimates are. UCs typically meet in-state need based on federal EFC and an ESC of $8,500 (= Stafford loan + $3,000 work earnings). CSUs start out cheaper at list price, but may not have as good financial aid. If you can commute from home to a local UC or CSU, that may save some money.</p>
<p>I would say you’re a match for the Cal States. I don’t believe your grades are quite good enough for any of the UC E’s (general or specific E’s), except for maybe UCM and probably not even UCR.</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.calstate.edu/sas/documents/impactedprogramsmatrix.pdf[/url]”>http://www.calstate.edu/sas/documents/impactedprogramsmatrix.pdf</a> indicates that only Fullerton, Long Beach, Pomona, San Diego, San Jose, and San Luis Obispo are impacted for engineering majors. However, some of those without impaction for engineering majors may be campus-impacted. See [CSU</a> Campus Impaction Information | Student Academic Support | CSU](<a href=“http://calstate.edu/SAS/impaction-campus-info.shtml]CSU”>http://calstate.edu/SAS/impaction-campus-info.shtml) .</p>
<p>However, it does look like your CSU eligibility index is high enough that it is unlikely that you will not be admitted to a campus where your major is not impacted. See below on calculating your GPA and CSU eligibility index:</p>
