<p>If you are applying in CA and you plan to focus on the UC’s and CSU’s don’t forget to add Cal Poly, SLO (reach/match) and Cal Poly Pomona (match/safety). Also, you don’t have much time left so make your decision regarding mechanical or biomed quick. If you are truly undecided then go for mechanical which is the basis for many other disciplines and very much a general engineering education. That will give you a solid base to branch out and specialize later on.</p>
<p>ucbalumnus above has a lot of very good suggestions. Take particular note of their post.</p>
<p>I would also add Oregon, University of Washington, University of Arizona and possibly ASU as well. All four would be match/safeties for you if you up your test scores a trifle. Good luck and get those applications out ASAP!!</p>
