<p>Where's gpa, or am I blind?</p>
<p>You might not want to go to SD or Davis for English/humanities-wise...</p>
<p>It may be wiser to shoot for the top two, or UCSB/UCI/UCSC/UCR, which all have good English programs (especially UCSB's Creative Writing)</p>
<p>Oh sorry, GPA is a 3.8 unweighted, and I think it's about a 4.1 weighted
I would go to UCSB, but it's closer to home than I'd like and I don't really like riverside's location, so I guess that leaves me with Santa Cruz!</p>
<p>UCD has an excellent English dept. with very distinguished faculty.</p>
