<p>I have a 1900 for the SAT (CR/Math/Writing: 670/640/590). I plan to take the SAT in October, so hopefully that score will increase past 2000.</p>
<p>I've done a year of sports, I play an instrument for my high school orchestra, and I am concertmaster. I volunteer at the animal shelter and a senior center, and I started my own volunteer club in sophomore year. I'm in the school newspaper as a copy editor, and my weighted GPA is 4.03 and my unweighted is 3.73. </p>
<p>I started taking AP classes this year, a total of three (Chemistry, Calculus AB, Language and Comp), and next year I'm taking two (Calculus BC and Physics). </p>
<p>I took one SAT subject test so far, which was a 620 for Chemistry, and I plan to take the English one soon. </p>
<p>I live in southern California, but I don't live in San Diego, and I'm a junior right now, so I'll be applying to colleges in the fall. I want to go to SDSU for the speech pathology program, if that helps any.</p>
<p>Any advice? Thoughts? Comments? </p>
<p>Thank you so much!</p>
<p>SDSU: Match
UCSD: Reach</p>
<p>What’s your local CSU/UC?</p>
<p>My local UC is UCR.</p>
<p>Here’s my suggestion, if you cannot get into either SDSU or UCSD: put your act together at UCR and then transfer at UCSD or USC, whichever you can afford.</p>
<p>As far as transferring is concerned, what can get you into UCSD will get you into USC (unless you wanted to do film or communication)</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your advice! :)</p>
<p>1900SAT and 4.03 GPA, you’re over qualified for SJSU, a couple of my friends got accepted with a 3.5~, little EC’s and no one or two AP’s.</p>
<p>They have notoriously low acceptance rates, which is why I’m worried. 
Is there anything I can do to really seal the deal?</p>
<p>@happilee, they have such low acceptance rates because nearly EVERYONE in San Diego applies as a safety (I live in SD, and we’re all strongly encouraged to do so). You have an extremely good shot at SDSU, I’d put it right on the line between safety and match. Either then to live in San Diego, which ups your shot at SDSU (while ironically lowering your chance at UCSD), there’s not much more you can do either than maybe getting your SAT up further. I’d look at the lower tier UCs (UCR, UCD, UCSC) as low matches and the higher UCs (UCLA, UCSD, UCB) as reaches, with the middles (UCI, UCSB) as your matches. Also, don’t be afraid to look out of state! The CSU app is ridiculously easy, there’s no recs or essays, so admittance is entirely stat based. You should be fine, don’t stress.
