<p>That gives you a CSU index of 4236. </p>

<p>Assuming you are in state, you should sail into Pomona and every other CSU - except SLO which considers more factors. You may be a good candidate there too.</p>

<p>Nice work.</p>

<p>Apply to 4 or so, just to cover your bases.</p>

<p>Ooh!! Aha ok thank you very much!</p>

<p>Does anyone else know if i have a chance in cal poly slo as well with my stats? Major will be BRAE</p>

<p>I wouldn’t say you’ll sail into Pomona. They just impacted Computer Science either this year or last. Unlike other CSU campuses that designate all their majors impacted, Pomona really means it. They reserve the designation for only highly impacted majors. Check out their requirements below.</p>

<p>Computer Science had an acceptance rate of 57 percent last year. </p>

According to this, in 2012, a 3.6 and 1166 SAT were average for their most competitive major. It may drift up a bit but with a 3.7 an 1220, you should be fine. There’s no harm in taking the SAT again.</p>

<p>SLO is a different animal and considers many different factors, including your freshman year grades. The specific considerations/requirements vary a bit by major. Take a look here for all you’ll need to know.

That link will show you the freshman class profile for SLO and should give you a feel for how you fit. They include some different factors so, it can be a black box - just because you have the GPA/test scores, doesn’t mean you are in. </p>

<p>With the stats posted above, assuming your freshman grades are in line, SLO is a reach. If you are really interested, take the SAT again and apply. Really prepare well for the test. As you can see from the table, you’ll need a 1400+ to make up for a GPA deficit. </p>

<p>As I said above, SLO’s admission proceess can be unpredictable. Apply away and good luck.</p>
