<p>It’s definitely a mid reach but not impossible. Your extracurriculars look pretty good so if you can write some solid essays you have a chance.</p>

<p>Hey man, not trying to be rude and all, but you shouldn’t take challenging classes if you don’t have good grades. </p>

<p>You need to calculate your CSU/UC GPA at this link: <a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Cal State Apply | CSU;
For Class of 2014 STATS: Average GPA was 4.07 Average SAT was 1932. Your STATS are below the average. What is your intended major? Other schools you are considering.Those C’s will hurt you so if you have a good explanation you want to include it in your essays.</p>

<p>UCD: Low Reach
Davis weighs GPA more heavily than SAT scores. Definitely retake the SAT or try the ACT.</p>
