How impacted are these majors? My daughter has a 3.7 overall GPA with extensive extracurriculars, 5 years of english, 4 years of science (3 labs), she has completed Statistics beyond Algebra 2, 4 years of Spanish and an A+ in Journalism. Does she have a shot?
With a 3.7, it is an uphill climb but, she should apply and see what happens.
Others to consider are SDSU, UCR and maybe UCSC.
Good luck
Thank you
Journalism has an expected acceptance rate of around 40% compared to Communication studies with a 18% acceptance rate.
Average GPA for the College of Liberal Arts last year was 3.94, ACT of 29 and SAT (Math+CR) of 1290.
EC’s have very little impact on admissions for SLO. You should calculate her MCA score to see where she might stand.

She should definitely apply but make sure that there are several Match and Safety schools also on the list.
