12) Planning on two community college courses this summer( Sociology and history of rock music, planning for A's)</p>
<p>So as you can see, I'm not the average applicant here on CC, I have probably the lowest gpa out of all my close friends. </p>
<p>So can you guys chance me for all the UC's, Cal Poly Slo&Pomona, CSULB, and CSUN</p>
<p>My majors for cal poly slo is nutrition, cal poly pomona is biology, all the uc's are biology, csun and csulb are also biology.</p>
<p>Thanks!!!11</p>
<p>not sure about pomona.
most UC’s most likely.
UCLA and UC berk are reaches.
get the SAT/ACT higher and you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>not pomona college, cal poly pomona,lol</p>
<p>well actually, your not really an ‘average asian’ unless you have 4.0 2400 
</p>
<p>just kidding. but if u can reach 30 on the ACT and gpa 3.7, with in-state I’d say you have an ok chance at UCLA. probably in at UC-SD and other uc’s except berkeley,usc</p>
<p>hmm.ic…I’m not aiming that high, my top two choices are actually Cal Poly Slo or UCSB.</p>
<p>Your unweighted GPA is pretty low.</p>
<p>If your top two choices are cal poly slo and UCSB, I’m sure you’ll get into them.
Btw if your major is goign to be bio… Take the SAT II for bio 
just saying</p>
<p>I heard bio is actually impacted at all UC campuses, I was thinking of applying to nutrition/food science/agriculture, something like that, because I’m ultimately a pre-med student.</p>
<p>Your unweighted GPA is pretty low so make sure you stand out in some way. Everything else needs to be good…
My unweighted GPA was about a 3.26 when I applied to college and I got into some pretty decent schools. However, I had a pretty good hook (I’m a female computer scientist). Good luck!</p>
<p>UCB,UCLA,UCSD- Extreme Reaches
UCI, UCD - High reach
UCSB- low reach
UCSC/UCM/UCR- Match
Cal Poly- low reach/match</p>
<p>UCB,UCLA,UCSD- extremely difficult
UCI, UCD - Reach
UCSB- low reach
UCSC/UCM/UCR- Match
Cal Poly- low reach/match </p>
<p>just to put things in perspective…there was a korean at my school…he had a 3.14 GPA…he still got into Umichigan…dont get pessimistic!</p>
