Chance Me For California Schools Please?

<p>Current Junior from Texas. I'm planning on applying to the following colleges and I'm going to major in Civil Engineering. I might apply for the UC's, but I doubt that I would be able to afford them (SOOOOOO EXPENSIVE), so I would only go if I was offered some sort of scholarship:</p>

<p>Cal Poly Pomona (Top Choice, I loved my visit there)
Cal Poly SLO (Probably won't apply since my chances may be too slim)
Cal State Fullerton
UC Irvine
UC Santa Barbara
UC Santa Cruz
Cal State Long Beach
San Jose State
San Diego State
Cal Baptist University
San Francisco State</p>

<p>Schools outside CA:</p>

<p>Utah
UT Dallas </p>

<p>I sort of messed up since I didn't take any honors or AP classes my freshman or sophomore year due to home and family problems . I really slacked off my freshman year, but became a lot more serious and became more dedicated to my studies starting my soph. year.</p>

<p>CSU Unweighted GPA: 3.83 (Could possibly become 3.77 by end of year, balancing between 89 and 90 in AP Statistics :/ ) </p>

<p>CSU / UC Weighted GPA: 4.22</p>

<p>Schedule this year: </p>

<p>AP Stats
AP Environ Sci
H Physics
H Precal
AP Psychology
English 3
US History
Health / Speech </p>

<p>My Schedule next year: </p>

<p>AP Calculus BC
AP Physics C
AP Government
AP Economics
AP Literature & Comp
Agricultural Mechanics
Intro to College Engineering (Dual Credit)
Art 2 Ceramics</p>

<p>ACT: 25 (E22 M31 R24 S24 W8/12) </p>

<p>(Though Cal Poly Pomona's Civil Engineering department puts a big emphasis in ACT Math scores while considering admissions, so could a 31 help me that much?) </p>

<p>Didn't study the first time, but studying now and going to retake... hoping for at least a 27 or 28. </p>

<p>Haven't taken any AP Test's yet. </p>

<p>EC's:</p>

<p>Football 9th Grade
Computer Science Club: 1 year
Church Youth Group: 3 years
National Honor Society: 3 years
Peer Assistance Learning Program (Help mentor elementary students) : 3 years </p>

<p>Awards :
Algebra 2 Student of the Year </p>

<p>Over 125 volunteer hours. </p>

<p>I worked at a restaurant during the summer after my sophomore year, and I'm going to work at a waterpark this summer. </p>

<p>I have currently been running a successful YouTube channel were I have been making reasonable revenue since 2010 (And yes it is appropriate content :P ) </p>

<p>That's about everything that I can put. So, what are my chances for acceptance for the schools that I've listed? I know they may be a little bit worst considering that I'm from Texas, but I have family in California (So please don't bug me about it not being reasonable or anything) Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>CPP: Low match (can you pay full-freight for a CSU? If you really have family in California, please establish residency for tuition purposes)
Cal Poly SLO: High match
UCI: High match
UCSB: High match
UCSC: Match
CSULB: Match
SJSU: Low match
SDSU: Match
SFSU: Low match
Cal Baptist: Safety
UT Dallas: Low match (if not top-10%)/Safety (if top-10%)</p>

<p>I wish that I could establish residency with them, but I can’t considering that they are not my parents… I would be able to afford the full tuition the first year if I had too without grants or loans, but my father is working on moving back out there soon, so I would be able to establish and get in state my soph. year onward.</p>

<p>Check out the application numbers for all the UC;s this year…<a href=“http://www.ucop.edu/news/factsheets/2013/fall_2013_applications_table1.pdf[/url]”>http://www.ucop.edu/news/factsheets/2013/fall_2013_applications_table1.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Things have gone rather goofy here in the golden state. CP SLO - 50K applicants this year. They are giving some preference to full pay OOS because they need the $$. But frankly, the going has gotten pretty tough.</p>
