<p>I am going to be a senior in high school. (still in summer vacation) What are my chances of being accepted into UCs or Cal states? </p>
<p>GPA:
3.3 weighted, 2.9 unweighted </p>
<p>I have a upward trend.Freshman year: average of 2.6 weighted gpa, Sophomore year: average of 2.9 weighted gpa, Junior year: 1st semester 3.6 weighted and 2nd semester 4.0 weighted gpa
I took 2 AP classes both sophomore and junior year. </p>
<p>Extra curricular: Robotics, few club positions, taking community college classes (currently 2), making an art portfolio, went abroad during the summer of sophomore year for environmental and social research, orchestra for 4 years, worked as an art guard at a museum, worked as a tutor, </p>
<p>If you guys can get back to me that would be great!</p>
<p>That’s tough. UC’s are getting especially selective and with your stats it may be really difficult. For any UC’s I think your best shots would be UC Santa Cruz, Riverside, or Merced. The others seem to be a bit out of your academic reach (but theres no harm in trying). </p>
<p>The upward trend is definitely a good thing, colleges would always rather see progress and improvement than the other way around. Plus you have other things that redeem for what may lack in academics. The studying abroad is especially good. </p>
<p>You definitely have a better chance at Cal States. The top 2 Cal States (Cal Poly SLO and SDSU) are again a bit out of reach. Cal Poly weighted GPA is around 3.9-4.2 (definitely depends on major you apply to). SDSU is somewhere from 3.5-3.8 but lesser have gotten in. Good options for you would be Long Beach, Fullerton, or Northridge. </p>
<p>I think where you live matters for non-impacted but if the major is impacted, they’re going to take the top applicants and not reach down too far in the list. I wasn’t local when applying to my alma mater and got in. My local college (CSUN) I got into almost immediately.</p>
