<p>Your GPA and SAT scores are not high enough to have a chance of acceptance at any of the UCs, Cal Poly SLO or Cal Poly Pomona. They are marginal for SJSU which is an impacted CSU so you are unlikely to be accepted there. Since you do live in the San Francisco State University service area and do meet minimum requirements for acceptance by a CSU your chances there are very good.</p>

<p>UC Berkeley-very very high reach
UCLA- " "
UCSD- " "
UCSB- " "
UC Davis- " "
UC Irvine- " "
Cal Poly SLO- reach
Cal Poly Ponoma- very very high reach<br>
San Jose State University- match
San Francisco State University-match
UCR- reach, reason becuase your not so close to UCR
UCM- match, closer to Merced</p>

<p>If this is a serious post you don’t need more opinions. The publisheed averages are easily available using Google. You are not competitive for any of the UCs you list, but you do have the minimum requirements for UC admission, so UCR and UCM would be the possibilities though you will not be guarateed engineering.</p>

<p>SLO and Pomona are unlikely, the other 2 reaches, maybe a match if you’re in the service area.</p>

<p>Well, i ended up applying to San Jose, SF, East Bay, Long Beach and UC Santa Barbara, Davis, Berkeley, and Santa Cruz. I got into all of the colleges except Davis and Berkeley.</p>

<p>Im interested, which are you planning on choosing?</p>

<p>I ask because i’m from the Bay Area, and currently serving in the Marine Corps. I will be getting out in a year and a half and all I want to do is school school school. My high school GPA was garbage, 2.7 to 3.0, and havent taken the SATs yet (will do later this year). I attened Foothill CC, and got good grades there. </p>

<p>I feel like im in the same boat as you. Im aiming high, but may end up with a CSU then xfering to Berkeley.</p>

<p>Well the great thing is, since you’ve served in the Marine Corps, is that they will look into that and your chances of getting into any college are higher than someone like me who’s straight out of high school. Since you went to a CC, you should finish up your associate’s and transfer into a UC rather going into a CSU and transferring because it’s harder. If you finish up CC and try to transfer into Berkeley, you will most likely be accepted. It’s the freshmen applicants that they have a really hard time choosing. I chose Santa Barbara. Good luck to you and thank you for your service!</p>
