I am only considering UCs and a few CSU schools:
UCSB
UCD
UCR
UCSD
UCI
CSULB
SDSU
CAL POLY SLO
SJSU
CSUF
These are the only ones I’m considering applying to but doubt I have a chance at any as they seem difficult to get to.
Your ACT is very competitive, UC GPA not so much. For 6 of the 9 campuses, the average UC GPA is 4.0+ and the UC’s are very GPA focused. Your best chances for the UC’s will be UCSC and UCR. The rest would be slight reaches (UCD/UCI/UCSB) and Reach (UCSD) but if you write some compelling essays along with your EC’s, your chances do increase.
The Cal states other than Cal Poly SLO, use an eligibility index to rank applicants by major and they superscore the ACT and/or SAT.
(CSU GPA x800) + (SAT Math + CR) or (CSU GPA x200) + (ACT comp x10)
Based on your posted stats your EI is 4150 SAT/1050 ACT.
You should have a very good chance at SDSU/CSULB/SJSU and possibly Cal Poly SLO. Much will depend upon your major. I wish you good luck.
With a 3.6 GPA, I’d say UCR and UCM are your only realistic UCs (with a very slim chance at UCSC). But you should definitely get into most of the CSUs (besides Cal Poly SLO).
@goldenbear2020 my goal is SDSU for a major in health science, but honestly it seems very difficult for me as a 3.6 doesn’t seem like it would cut it anywhere.
SDSU’s average GPA is 3.69. Can you bump up that GPA by the end of this spring semester?

@goldenbear2020 unfortunately, that’s about as high as it goes…
