UC GPA capped weighted?

Based on posted stats, UCSC looks within Reach. If you get your SAT up into the 1300+ range, then the Mid-tier UC’s would be possible.

Thank you for the link! My UC capped weigjted GPA would be a 3.58. And 1300+ is my goal for the next SAT and I’m working hard to reach it!

Riverside and Merced are your best shots. You really should add SDSU(if you can nudge your SAT up a bit), CSULB and a few other Cal States to your application list.
