U if Utah is a good school and is certainly worth an application.
Nursing in CA is absurdly competitive, if that’s the direction you want to go, you should probably focus elsewhere.
For Bio, there are a number of CA publics on the WUE list. Chico, CPP, Sonoma and UCM are all worth a look. Maybe CO State, UNR and Boise State as well. With an UW GPA 3.97 So Cal privates like USD, LMU and Chapman will offer merit aid that will probably make them affordable.
Apply broadly and good luck
