Standardized Scores: N/A but I got a 1120 on the PSAT :confused:

Your GPA is competitive so far but your SAT test scores will need to be in the 1300+ range for a chance at many of the UC’s and if you are targeting the top UC’s, probably closer to 1450+.

Keep up the good work and repost once you have all your stats prior to applying.

Some UC statistical data:

The Cal states with the exception of Cal Poly SLO use the eligibility index to rank applicants by major. They accept from the top down until all spots are filled. Most of the CSU’s give local preference except for SLO and SDSU.

EI= (CSU/UC capped weighted x800) + (SAT Math + EBRW)

SJSU is the only CSU that posts their EI thresholds by major so you can determine if you are competitive. EI’s do fluctuate from year to year so the thresholds are not definitive for each incoming Freshman class.
