Applying to UCs, cal poly, cu, and uo. HELP PLEASE!

<p>Hey! So I'm an Incoming senior at a great school. My average (weighted) in sophomore year was a 3.0. This year I got a 3.86 weighted gpa last semester and A 3.5 weighted this semester, equaling a 3.65 for this year. I got a 1650 first try on the Sat and took it again and got a 1710. I have volunteered for three years at the local arts festival. I have plAyed with a recreational soccer league for 10 years. Sophomore year I played jv soccer. Junior year I played varsity lacrosse. Next year I plan on joining track and field. I am going to take the ACT in September. I took two Ap classes this year, including AP studio art which I got an A in the class and a 3 on my portfolio, which means I did pass. My other AP class was AP composition, which I got a B in. I only got a two on the exam though, which is unsatisfactory. I plan On taking three AP classes next year, including AP literature, AP studio Art 2d design, and AP photography. My interests include art, photography, reading, and much more. I worked at a gelato shop for 3 months and just started work assisting at an acupuncturists office. I want to apply to UCSC, UCSB, university of Colorado at Boulder, university of southern Oregon, university of Oregon, csu cal poly, csu long beach, and csu Chico. PLEASE HELP! much appreciated. Also, when should I begin Writing my essay? Thank you!</p>

<p>UCSC - Match
UCSB - Low Reach/Reach
Boulder - Match
Southern Oregon - Safety
U of O - Saftey/Low Match
Cal Poly - Match/Low Reach? (Depending on what major you want)
CSU LB - Safety
CSU Chico- Super Safety</p>

<p>I’m assuming you live in California, because admissions are harder OOS. Hope this helps!</p>
