Chance me please, low gpa

The combination of your GPA with that ACT will be difficult to circumvent, come decision time. You are considering some of the toughest schools to gain entry into in California: the competition for those schools is not just local, but world-wide. Are you a California resident?

I think Chico would work well for you. Pomona, Long Beach and San Diego are reaches, as are the UC’s.

Consider the non-impacted campuses: Monterrey, Bakersfield, Channel Islands, Stanislaus, etc. for state schools.
