College choices for near 2.9 student with upward trend

If you are attending a CA high school that is accredited, it is highly likely your academic courses are A-G qualified

If you don’t meet the A-G course requirements, CSUs and UCs are out. See what you can do to meet them all this year (including Spanish and visual/performing arts).

If you meet them and have a 2.9 UW, 3.3 W and 28 ACT - you might make UCM. The others are pretty unlikely.

As for CSUs, Sac State is in the shadow of the state capitol and has a solid Poly Sci program. Sonoma would be another option.

Get to the bottom of your a-g situation while you can still do something about it.

Good luck
