Do I have a shot in any California schools?

<p>You’re GPA is great if it’s unweighted, and still pretty good if it’s weighted. As you can probably tell, your SAT score is the issue especially since you’re out of state. Here is an easy way for you to compare them:</p>

<p>UC: <a href=“SAT Score Comparison for the University of California”>http://collegeapps.about.com/od/sat/a/uc-sat-comparison.htm&lt;/a&gt;
CSU: <a href=“SAT Score Comparison for the 23 Cal State Campuses”>http://collegeapps.about.com/od/sat/a/Cal-State-sat-scores.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Also, is financial aid an issue? From what I’ve been hearing you won’t be getting much at the UC/CSU systems.</p>

<p>UCs:
For UC Berkeley, UCLA, and UCSD your SAT score puts you below the 25% percentile. At UC Davis and UCSB you are around the 25% percentile or slightly below. </p>

<p>You’re closer to average at UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC Santa Cruz, and not as far below for UC Irvine. It’ll still be a reach (out of state and low math scores in particular) but you definitely have a better chance there than at UCB / UCLA / UCSD.</p>

<p>CSUs:
You definitely have a chance with these, but their reputation varies widely. You’ll have very little chance at San Luis Obispo (mid 500s to mid 600s) but are way above 75% at CSU LA (high 300s to high 400s). The best of the CSUs that you’re around average for SAT</p>

<p>Cal Poly Pomona (you’re a bit low in math)
Channel Island (again due to math, CR is high)
Chico
Fullerton
Humboldt State
Long Beach
SFSU
SJSU
San Marcos
Sonoma State</p>

<p>Many of the rest you’re around 75% or even quite a bit above.</p>

<p>If you can raise your SAT score you have a great chance at almost all CSUs and many of the lower UCs, but seeing as you’ve taken it twice and the ACT once it seems a bit tough. Good luck!</p>
