Any insight would be greatly appreciated 
Thanks so much!
I also have over 200 hours of community service, and have taken all of the most advanced classes that my school has to offer, keep in mind that I am unable to take AP class due to this, I attend a small, charter school.
For SDSU you need an eligibility index of 4100+ for the best chance at an acceptance. Your EI is 4042 which is close so you do have a decent chance.
UCM looks like a good Match. For SLO/UCSC your GPA and SAT score are below average so these acceptances could go either way. I would try to retake that SAT for a stronger application and work on your UC essays for an extra boost.
Good Luck.
Thank you! I’ll be retaking the SAT in June
I don’t think any of them are locks…
I’d encourage you to apply more broadly. How about CSU LB, Chico and Sonoma?
Higher SAT would definitely help.
