<p>Been having a bit too much fun these past four years...now I'm worried. Here's a list of schools I've been considering for Biomedical Engineering
CSU Cal Poly SLO
San Jose State (CSU)
UC Davis
UC Irvine
UC San Diego</p>

<p>The only Cal State that offers a biomedical engineering bachelors of science degree is Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Cal State Fresno offers a biomedical physics program also, but that's it for now, although Cal State San Marcos plans to start a biomedical program in a year or so.</p>

<p>The average UW GPA for CPSLO is 3.7 (weighted 3.9), with average SAT CR of 594 and average SAT math of 639, average ACT is 28--so obviously you should use your ACT score for applying, and I would rate you a match to slight reach here. You are a safe match at San Jose State. I agree with flopsy on the UC ratings. You would be a match at UCSC.</p>
