Chances at any UC or CSU with my bad grades?

I am a junior in high school in California right now and I was wondering what type of colleges I could go into with these grades. I got a 4.1 GPA Freshman year, but obviously it doesn’t count for colleges. My grades obviously haven’t been good since freshman year, which I’m very disappointed about, but it’s too late too change it, so it is what it is.

Sophomore 1st semester and 2nd semester grades (1st semester, 2nd semester):
Band: A, A
World History: B+, A
Honors Algebra 2: B-, B-
Chemistry: B-, C-
English: B-, B-
Spanish 2: B, B

Junior Current Grades (1st semester, 2nd semester) :
AP US History: B, B-
Trig/Precalculus: A-, B-
Physics: B, B
English: B, B
Spanish: B-, B-
Computer Foundations: B, B

SAT Score: 1400

Extra Curriculars:
Varsity soccer starter for 2 years (3 years when I become senior)
Club soccer
Leadership program recognized by my school
100 hours of community service

Is this good enough for any UC or good CSUs? I plan on staying in California and I’m not sure on my major yet. For CSU, I would prefer to go to SJSU or SDSU, but my grades are terrible.

What’s your overall GPA right now?

3

Including Freshman year? or just sophomore and junior year?

I’ve been getting a 3.33 Weighted GPA since freshman year. Freshman year, I had a 4.1 GPA.

Looks like an unweighted GPA of 3.13. assuming honors points for AP US history and honors algebra 2 (check UC Doorways to see if it is honors for UC purposes), that becomes 3.29 weighted (capped or uncapped) the way UC and CSU calculate.

Based on 3.29 GPA and 1400 SAT, your CSU eligibility index is 3.29 * 800 + 1400 = 4033. You can compare that with SJSU’s recent thresholds at http://www.sjsu.edu/admissions/impaction/impactionresultsfreshmen/ , but that they can change year to year.

Based on UC admission rates by GPA (see http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-general/2127392-faq-uc-historical-frosh-admit-rates-by-hs-gpa-2018.html ), UCM is a high match to low reach, and all other UCs are reaches.
