<p>What are my chances in getting to each of these colleges???</p>
<p>Good question @toesockshoe: I was going to ask the same question regarding the Scholar Athlete awards. My son received 2 also for 4.0 which means you have to have that cummulative GPA at the time of the award. Does not make sense???</p>
<p>A downward trend in GPA is going to hurt you in the application process especially Junior year. You have a decent chance at both Cal States but you might want include one more Cal State to be on the safe side and have some good choices such as a non-impacted CSU like Monterey Bay, Channel Islands or San Marcos.</p>
