Hi everyone,
So I am a fairly average student at my college prep school (3.15 UW GPA, 3.3 UC/CSU GPA 28 ACT). I applied to UCI, UCD, UCSB, UCSC, LMU, Pepperdine, SCU, CSULB, VT, CalPoly SLO, SDSU. I feel like these are all reaches for me. I already got accepted into SDSU a while ago. I was wondering what my chances of getting into the rest of the schools are and if going to my current high school will hurt me (we don’t have class ranks).
I will only comment on SLO and the UC’s. With a UC GPA and ACT score below average for most of these schools, your chances will be tough depending upon your intended major.
SDSU is a great option and my younger son will be graduating this May from SDSU. Go Aztecs!!!
