<p>Hey guys. Could you please chance a brother for getting into UCSB, SDSU, Cal Poly SLO, and UCSC? I should also add that I will write a really strong essay. Thanks:</p>
<p>UC/CSU GPA: 3.54</p>
<p>So yeah, my gpa isn't the greatest...but here are my tests scores which I hope improve my chances greatly:</p>
<p>ACT: 31</p>
<p>SAT II: Math 2: 760</p>
<p>And here are my ECs:</p>
<p>100 hours community service</p>
<p>Volunteered as a tutor in an official tutoring program in library</p>
<p>Worked as an intern/manager at a car dealership for over 100 hours</p>
<p>4 years as an officer of a club, 1 year being the VP of said club</p>
<p>I think you are pretty much in at UCSC, SDSU, and Cal Poly SLO (assuming you’re not majoring in engineering). I think, because of your GPA, that UCSB is a reach for you. However, your ACT and SAT II are both pretty good, so if your essay is outstanding, there is a chance for you to get into UCSB. Good luck!</p>
<p>I agree with refreshe4; UCSC, SDSU, and SLO should be fine. UCSB is a reach, but it’s not unreasonable. My UW GPA is almost identical to yours, so we’re in the same boat, aha!</p>
<p>Cal Poly is a toss up. For 2011, average Freshman GPA: 3.92. Avg ACT: 29</p>
<p>So you are solid on the ACT, but below average on the GPA, so it REALLY depends on your major of choice. </p>
<p>If you are going for the top 3 colleges (engineering, business, architecture), you might have a problem. Otherwise, you should be okay.</p>
<p>For UCSB, the admission criteria is similar to Cal Poly, possibly higher by a hair. So it is definitely another marginal situation. You might get in if all the stars aligned. </p>
