<p>I don’t know a whole lot about whether or not you’d get in but you have a high SAT score and some impressive ECs so I think you have a good chance. GPA is a bit low but I think you’ve made up for it. Some other Cali schools I’d recommend and am applying to myself are UC Davis and Cal Poly SLO. UC Santa Cruz is alright too. UC San Diego and UC Irvine get reputations of being pretty boring and highly Asian (if that is something you care about, some people do). UC Los Angeles and UC Berkeley are definitely the most competitive public schools and would definitely be reach schools. San Diego State is also a pretty cool school. Good business program and D1/sports atmosphere. Again, I’m no expert on your chances but I guess that’s the rundown on some of the popular public schools out here. I live in SoCal so I hear a lot. Good luck man</p>
