<p>UCLA/SD/B= reach
SLO= not too sure, but if their compsci is anything like their engineering, it won’t be too easy
matches everywhere else :)</p>

<p>good luck, please chance me if you can :)</p>

<p>For Cal Poly Fall 2010 Freshman stats, college of Engineering (CS is within engineering):</p>

<p>Avg GPA: 4.03 (Cal Poly counts all of 9th-12th grades)
Avg ACT: 31
Avg SAT (out of 1600) : 1372</p>

<p>I would echo what Vernontwg said, it won’t be easy for you for Cal Poly.</p>

<p>And if Cal Poly looks like will be a reach, then Cal, UCLA, and UCSD will be worse.</p>

<p>@Tfence – BeingSLO has all the admissions stats for Cal Poly and the other schools correct. What you can do is hire a private tutoring service to get your ACT scores up. If you can pull off a score above 30 your chances will be far better. Alternatively, consider back up options: Cal Poly Pomona, an excellent school that I feel is really underrated, and other schools in the Cal State system as well. With UC tuition potentially increasing to levels that will approach what many pay at privates schools [Under</a> plan, UC tuition could rise by 16% a year - SFGate](<a href=“http://articles.sfgate.com/2011-09-13/news/30147788_1_uc-tuition-uc-students-association-vice-president-patrick-lenz]Under”>http://articles.sfgate.com/2011-09-13/news/30147788_1_uc-tuition-uc-students-association-vice-president-patrick-lenz) , looking at Cal States could be a great option.</p>

<p>Good luck!!</p>

Definitely try to get that ACT up…and you may want to take the SAT as well.
SLO prefers the ACT, but there is no harm in taking 2 tests instead of 1 … and some people are better suited to the SAT (just as some are better suited for the ACT).</p>

<p>@youngfolks<br>
If that SAT is out of 1600, your odds are generally decent
If its out of 2400 RETAKE that SAT ASAP</p>
