<p>Unfortunately, I'm only familiar with the in-state colleges on your list and both UCs are reaches. Decent scores, but low GPA. You're definitely in at CalPoly though. </p>

<p>If you can, raise your SAT I score to maybe 2000+. Looking at your ECs, you seem to be very community oriented so you should really play on that in your essay. At this point, just focus on your application and let your personality shine (get good recs, write good personal statements, etc.). Good luck!</p>
