Chance me all CSU and some UC

change pls
UC/CSU GPA 10-11: 3.26
SAT:1260 aiming for a 1350-1400

Male
Junior at public hs
Latino
First gen
First to go to college
Major:bussiness

EC:
bought and sold virtual items 8-9
Started a competitive esports team 10
Started 2 businesses(clothes and jewelry,had my own booth at a b/s/t even which was cool) 10-11
worked 2 jobs 9-11(both janitorial jobs,hard work :frowning: ) 9-11
joined many online clothes groups 10-11
paid beta testing for a clothes selling app 11

also working on bigger projects during the summer(all clothes selling related)

Ik my gpa is shit, I was struggling on a social aspect. I wasn’t really accepted by others 9-10 but this 11th year was a complete turn around. I am now doing good/getting much better grades, and ALOT of family issues(brother into drugs, constant fighting, divorce, and brother dropping out of hs.)

The schools I want to go to:
SJSU
SFSU
SDSU
UCR
UCD
UoP

but I want to know my chances for all CSUs because I might change my mind later on

I think that if you have a story that limited your success in high school, then show it on your applications. I think that your case is very unique and shows diversity in economic/family background and schools love that.

I think if you address your social issues noted in your post, UCR would be possible. UCD unfortunately looks like a Reach.

Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 3.00-3.39

UCB/UCLA/UCSD: 1%
UCI/UCSB: 2%
UCD: 4%
UCSC: 18%
UCR: 38%
UCM: 67%

The CSU’s admit by major and eligibility index. EI= (3.26 x800) + (1260)= 3868

SFSU is a safety.

SJSU publishes their EI threshold for each major, so you can see where your EI places you for the Business major. Your EI looks solid for Business at SJSU.

For SDSU, their Business majors are highly impacted and competitive. An EI of 4100+ would be needed for a good chance at admission.

UOP has an average UW GPA of 3.54 so a High Match- Low Reach school, although will take into account your essays and LOR’s.

I would add Sonoma State and Chico State to your list.

Best of luck.

Thanks! :slight_smile: @Gumbymom @ericacv

UCs are still very GPA focused so, with a 3.29 it is pretty unlikely you’ll be admitted anywhere but UCM. Still, apply, explain your situation and see what happens. Just realize, the odds are against you and be sure other doors are open. UoP will probably accept you but, won’t offer much aid. Full tuition there is tough for most to rationalize. For Cal States, you should be good for all but CP SLO and SDSU. With a 3900 Long Beach is on the bubble but would probably let you in. For Business, I’d add Fullerton, Chico and Sonoma
