<p>Hi everyone! I'm a student from the West Coast and I'm looking for schools that I should apply to. I have some UCs/CSUs in mind but I'm open to suggestions. I prefer schools in the West Coast since I don't want to move too far away from home.</p>

<p>Reach schools:

<p>You need to calculate your UC GPA. <a href=“GPA Calculator for the University of California – RogerHub”>http://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>UCSC is not a safe school since average GPA is 3,8. It is more of a High match with your GPA. I would suggest UCR since their Bourne School of Enginerring is highly respected and add CPP.
I agree the rest of the schools are a reach especially if your UC GPA is less than 4.0</p>
