Chances with high SAT

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am currently a Junior in a top high school in Southern California. I have a low GPA and okay EC's. I transferred from Norcal the summer before Sophomore year and that summer I regretfully chose to focus on sports rather than grades and school work. Also, I could not take AP's that year because I transferred late in the summer and the school gave me random classes. The first two weeks were mostly spent in the counselors office getting my classes straightened out so my grades went downhill from there. I took an SAT prep class this past summer and did well on practice tests (2100+) so I'm aiming for a 2200+ on my SAT that I plan to take next semester. I'm hoping for my improvement this year to catch the attention of admissions officers. </p>

<p>You look good but as you probably know your sophomore year is going to bring you down. Your list is solid; I think you should look at more schools though.
Some more suggestions (sorry if there are repeats, I’m on my phone and can’t read and write):
CSU Fresno
UC Santa Barbara
UC Riverside
UC Davis
UC Santa Cruz?</p>

<p>UCI - match
San Diego State - probably in
SF State - target/in - not sure but guessing by people i know, you might get in
UCSD - low reach/target - 2200+ SAT would really boost chances
UCSB - match
CSULB - not sure
Cal Poly Pomona - you’re in
UCLA - reach as you might know - but if you get 2200+ SAT decent chance
CSUN - not sure</p>
