My grades have been in a constant upward trend.
Freshman year: one honors course
Sophomore year: three honors courses

A lot of the state schools really depend on where you live. Additionally, if you improve your SAT to a degree, than you will have a better shot. Lastly, what is your weighted GPA and how are you senior year grades?
@jackisawesome I’ve stated earlier that i’m only a junior. and my weighted gpa currently, is only a 4.3 but it’ll go up significantly soon because of the additional AP courses i’m taking this year. And I live in New Jersey!
And my goal for the SAT is a 2050, and I’ll be retaking it in January. 1960 was my first score, so I’m hoping to improve a bit
@uclaparent9@OVOFest@jackisawesome Sorry if you feel this answer would be pretty self-explanatory, what exactly is holding me back from being a bit more qualified for the schools that are considered high reaches for me?

Try to get your SAT and unweighted GPA up. I don’t know the competitiveness for nursing at these schools, but I think your stats may be a bit on the lower side. All the best.
I would say so because of scores and GPA. Now, if your GPA went up to a 3.8 or something similar UW, then there would be a higher chance. Your weighted GPA is not bad at all by the way Now the biggest concern right now would be the standardized testing score. I recommend that for some of the schools, you get at least a 2100. For some of the easier schools, as 2050 should be perfect. Additionally, for schools like Georgetown, we will also need to assess some SAT subject tests (Georgetown requires 3).
If you were to raise your SAT significantly (which is not out of the question, as I was able to raise mine over 300 points with practice), you will have a muchhh higher chance. Keep up the good work and you should have a good shot at many of the schools mentioned! Just remember, that for some state schools, it is much harder to get accepted out of state- such as the UCs and U Michigan.
You appear not to have done your research.
As previously mentioned, UC-San Fran does not admit undergraduates (People who are trying to get a Bachelor’s degree). After you get your bachelor’s degree, and you want to study some more, you can apply to UC-SF.
Your GPA and SAT are not competitive for the UC’s. (4.0+ and 2250 SAT to be considered competitive from OOS).
The UC’s don’t give financial aid to OOS students, so OOS students can expect to pay $55K per year.
Make a list after you’ve read up on the requirements, costs of attendance and majors.
