My Chances for CSULB

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>HI! </p>

<p>So im an incoming senior, Currently attending a really academically challenging public school with one of the top API scores in the nation. It's in northern cal, silicon valley, bay area. </p>

<p>I really messed up my Junior year really bad, and because of my D in Pre-calc Honors for both semesters, My GPA suffered badly. </p>

<p>However, I love CSULB, and I feel like I'll really fit in there if my grades allow me, so what are the chances of getting into it for biology with....</p>

<p>UW GPA: 3.2</p>

<p>W GPA: 3.45</p>

<p>SAT: 1820</p>

<p>APBIO was my only AP :/</p>

<p>I have other extra-curriculars [do they look at them?]
Taking ACT coming sept- [what should I aim]</p>

<p>But yea, disappointed with high school, but Just hoping something works out :/</p>

<p>Looking at all other threads on here, I really get the feeling like I'm very under qualified.... but still hoping... what are my chances? </p>

<p>Thank You!</p>

<p>Any advice is dearly appreciated! And, If there are any other cal universities that would best suit my grades, PLease let me know? Anything like cal poly SLO, or any other state ones which are still reputable. My family being a conservative indian one ofcourse, will not let allow me to attend community colleges, or something like csu SF. :(</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot. you may also want to look at these schools cal poly Pomona, csuf, csula, and sdsu.
I am a bio major at csuf and they have a pretty good bio department and a linkage program to a few medical schools. good luck.</p>

<p>sorry, Not cal poly slo, meant pomona</p>

<p>oh forgot to answer a few of your questions, sorry. cal states only look at gpa and sat scores. what was your score for ap bio?</p>

5

<p>really??! thank you so much for the reply, but how do I have a good shot it though, isnt my gpa really low for long beach?</p>

6

<p>oh my ap score was a 3… and i took a subject sat and got a 610, should I try again? I was aiming for 700’s but Idk wht happend :/</p>

<p>CSULB is a match, would be a low match, even safety if your GPA was higher. But I’d say you have a good chance!</p>

<p>CSULB: Match
Cal Poly Pomona: Low match</p>

<p>I know my suggestion might sound idiotic but will your family let you attend an UC?</p>

9

<p>lol, Umm, yea definitely, UC’s obviously sound better to them, but I personally dont want to attend uc merced or uc riverside, My AIM used to UC santa cruz, but I’m not sure about my chances there now.</p>

<p>there is no harm in applying i personally think you have a better shot at csulb. Their average gpa is about a 3.7. good luck</p>
