<p>Are you sure about that GPA range? It seems too low for your SAT scores but if that is correct then…</p>
<p>most of the UCs are a high reach. I would say UC Santa Cruz and Riverside are matches with Merced being a safety.</p>
<p>USC is a high reach, like I said if your GPA is accurate then that’s pretty low for the school and your SAT score is a little low too. </p>
<p>As far as schools to consider in california that might be a better match for your gpa, I would check out University of San Diego (good for bio!), University of San Francisco, Chapman University (dont know how good they are for science though), Azusa Pacific, Cal Poly Pomona, etc…</p>
