<p>Well, currently I'm a senior in high school. I have a 3.2 GPA and 1300 on my SAT. ( I retook my SAT, results coming soon)</p>
<p>Back in my freshmen year I really had no drive for academics. Rarely did I thought about college and I regret that most in my high school career so far. In my freshmen year and sophomore year I had a total of a 2.8 GPA. In junior year I had an epiphany and that year I almost had straight A's and raised my GPA to a 3.2. (I'm taking 2 AP classes right now)</p>
<p>With a 3.2 GPA and a 1300 on my SAT, I'm at a position where I'm not the worse nor I am the best. I don't know If i'll get accepted to anywhere. </p>
<p>Colleges I'm applying to are
-UC Riverside
-CSULB
-SDSU</p>
<p>Dream school that I really want to get into and probably know I wont get in.
-UC San Diego
-UC Santa Barbara </p>
<p>An upward trend is great but what is your UC/CSU GPA? See link:<a href=“GPA Calculator for the University of California – RogerHub”>http://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/</a>
If you want honesty, you have very little chance of getting into any of the schools listed.</p>
<pre><code> UC GPA SAT
</code></pre>
<p>UCSD: 4.13 2080
UCSB: 4.05 1940
UCR: 3.77 1720
SDSU: 3.82 1720
CSULB: 3.7 1650</p>
<p>You have shown that you are serious about school this past year, so if you really want to get into your dream schools, you should consider attending a CC for 2 years and transfer to either UCSB or UCSD. Some Cal states you might want to consider if a CC is not an exceptable alternative, would be Northridge, Sonoma, Channel Islands, San Marcos and Monterey Bay. I wish you the best of luck and do not give up. Just keep working hard for your dream.</p>
