CSU/UC GPA? https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/
Unweighted GPA 9-11th?
Intended major other an Pre-Pharmacy at the other schools on your list?
Would you be able to show your actual GPA and SAT scores if you took the SAT?
@Gumbymom @Ashdew77 my uc gpa is a 3.5 and my old sat was a 1600
i also just took the sat chem in may so im waiting for those scores to come in
For the 2+3 program, it is suggested that you take satIIs in Chemistry and math. You need at least a 3.75 GPA to be considered for the 2+3. You have the ACT score of 30 necessary to considered, but I suggest you either retake it and aim for a higher score, or take the SAT to see you get a qualifying score of 1350.
The 4+3, all you need is a 3.2 GPA, 22 ACT, or a 1050 SAT. Again, it is suggested that you take the satIIs mentioned above.
I think that you will most likely be able to get into the 4+3 program. Maybe try to strengthen your ecs next year.
Please note that this is all coming from someone who will also be applying to colleges next fall and winter, so I am not the best source of information (In fact I literally know almost nothing about this, I’m just telling you how I am percieving the information. Gumbymom will probably be a more reliable source of information). Good luck!
I agree about with @Ashdew77’s assessment of your chances for the Pre-Pharm program 2+3 UOP program along with the 4+3 program. You need to bump up your GPA and test scores for a more competitive edge.
Your UC GPA will be a major factor for UCD/UCI and UCSB since it is below the 4.0 threshold but ACT is on target. Outstanding essays and EC’s will help your chances at these UC’s but no guarantees since UC admissions can be unpredictable.
SDSU uses the Eligibility index to rank applicants by major. (CSU/UC GPA x200) + (ACT comp x10)
Your EI is 1000. A competitive EI for SDSU is around 1000-1050 depending upon major, so you are just at the threshold.
Make sure you apply broadly and have some solid Match/Safety schools are your list. Good Luck.
