<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>I got an
Sophomore year: 3.5 weighted, 3.33 unweighted both
Junior year: *1st semester- 2.5 gpa weighted and 2.0 unweighted
*2nd semester- 2.99 weighted and 2.4 un weighted
- 1940 Sat score,
- 2.6 un weighted gpa
- 3.0 weighted gpa.</p>
<p>The reason is my school is the number one school in California so it's very competitive. I have 3 years varsity tennis, medical hospital volunteering, helped build homes for poor. Have 100 volunteer hours. 13th place in chess state championships. .Can you tell me my chances at all of the UC colleges, and any other good universities, Also i don't know if i need to mention this but, i had a personal loss in my family in my 11th grade, which i screwed up on ..... and I had to get help to bring myself back to my studying mood.</p>
<p>Thank you so much.</p>
<p>Most of the UCs, if not all of them, are out of the running at this point. They put a lot of emphasis on GPA. Schools may take a look at your gpa, understand your junior year circumstances, and ask to see a much better gpa after senior year and maybe a year or two of community college. You can get a very good education at dozens of colleges in CA. Have you considered any of the CS schools? or the small privates?</p>
<p>Calculate your UC GPA see link: <a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Cal State Apply | CSU;
Even for UC Merced the average GPA was 3.54, so I agree with @jkeil911 that the UC’s are pretty much out of reach at this point You can explain the reason for lower grades in 11th in your UC essays and apply to UCR and UCM but you would be better off going to a community college and transferring into a higher tier UC from a there if a UC is your goal. There are many Cal States in California that could also be an option such as CSULA. CSUDH, CSUSB, CSUB, Sac State, CSU San Marcos etc… Also some privates, if you and your family are able to afford them such as Whittier College, APU, La Verne University, Redlands … I would enter my STATs into the SuperMatch feature on this website to what are some possibilities. Good Luck</p>
<p>You go to the number one school in California, so you say, so why aren’t you talking with the counselors at that wonderful place?</p>
<p>Minimum (UC-weighted) GPA to be eligible for any UC is 3.0.</p>
<p>Your best chance to “upgrading” your choice of UCs is to attend a community college, do well there, and apply as a junior transfer, so that your high school record is basically ignored at that point.</p>
<p>CSUs are less selective, but they have varying levels of impaction (by major). For example, take a look at SJSU’s thresholds:

<p>Note that CSU eligibility index is calculated as follows:

It uses GPA calculated as follows (should be the same as for UC):
