Chances for Cal Poly, CSU's, and a few UC's.

<p>I'm planning on applying to the following colleges and I'm going to major in Mechanical Engineering. I might apply for the UC's, but I doubt that I would be able to afford them, so I would only go if I was offered some sort of scholarship:</p>

<p>Cal Poly Pomona (Top Choice, I loved my visit there)
Cal Poly SLO (Probably my second choice)
UC Los Angeles
UC Irvine
Cal State Long Beach
San Jose State
San Diego State </p>

<p>I would be considered out of state for all of these schools. </p>

<p>I sort of messed up since I didn't take any honors or AP classes my freshman or sophomore year due to home and family problems . I really slacked off my freshman year, but became a lot more serious and became more dedicated to my studies starting my soph. year.</p>

<p>Over 150 volunteer hours. </p>

<p>I worked at a restaurant during the summer after my sophomore year, and spent the summer after my junior year volunteering at my town library. </p>

<p>I have currently been running a successful YouTube channel were I have been making reasonable revenue since 2010 (And yes it is appropriate content :P ) </p>

<p>That's about everything that I can put. So, what are my chances for acceptance for the schools that I've listed? I know they may be a little bit worst considering that I'm from Texas, but I have family in the SoCal area that I would like to live near, and not to mention that I really don't like living here. Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Bump anyone?</p>

<p>Bump please?</p>

<p>I think that you should be fine for all of them</p>

<p>Should be fine for all.</p>

<p>UCLA is the only tossup, where it would be a high match. </p>

<p>Apply for the scholarships at all the schools. The UCs are not that much more expensive than the Cal states. If you do go to UCLA, it shouldn’t be too hard to find a job that pays quite a bit short-term, but with little long-term prospect (a tutor, for example can get 40 dollars an hour easily).</p>
