I’m a student from California, my school is really rigorous and ranked #5 for academics in California, #109 in the US. My mom graduated from UW

Scores

GPA: 3.41 W
9 AP classes, heavy rigor (I’m aware I have a weak GPA, I had under a 3.0 sophomore year because I transferred to a really rigorous school and it came as a shock to me, but junior year I have a 4.25 weighted)

SAT: 1170

ECs: Mission trips through Church, Varsity Swimmer, started Investment Club at school, hold a job, and volunteer at my Church.

Senior Year Courseload: AP Statistics, AP Literature, AP Government/Economy, AP Art History, and several electives.

I want to apply to colleges such as GWU, University of Washington, Colorado University, Virginia Tech, SCU, and UCSC

I need to know where I should apply.

Santa Clara alumnus here. Right now the GPA and SAT are too low. The average SCU GPA is close to 3.6-3.7 UW and SAT closer to 1300.

If your sophomore level GPA was less than 3.0 UW, UCSC might be a low reach. UC Merced would be a closer match. If possible take 1 more SAT to get closer to 1400.

GWU is a reach. VT, Colorado-Boulder, and UDub might be a low match.

Add some CSUs to your school list. St. Mary’s College in Moraga might be a match as well.
