You have a really good chance at all these school! My advice is to really work on your personal statements so you can stand out from the rest of the applicants. (: I got into half these schools with way lower stats than you this past year…

You cannot have a 4.8 capped weighted for CSU/UC, possible uncapped weighted yes.
Capped CSU/UC GPA is with only 8 extra honor points which usually gives you a 4.3-4.4 capped.

Regardless, you look like a competitive applicant so work on those essays/personal statements and you will have many choices next Spring.

Thank you for the advice and well wishes. It’s actually a 4.4 Capped/Weighted, and a 4.8 Uncapped/Weighted.
