You need to post your GPA, here is how to calculate for the CSU/UC’s: http://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/
If your UC/CSU GPA is below 3.0, your are ineligible to apply to a UC, however; there are Cal states where you would have a chance at an acceptance. Your SAT looks good, so provide your GPA and posters can give you some ideas.
No point in starting a chance thread if you do not provide all the information. Passing AP exams are for college credit and not considered in college admissons.
1900 is a good SAT score. Without your GPA it is impossible to guide you further.
As long as you pass your classes, I’m sure you will be accepted to several CSUs. I know a lot of people with 2.8-3.0 GPAs, 1200 SAT, and 18 ACT that were accepted to CSULA, CSUF, and CSUN.
Thank you for replying @Gumbymom, @NCalRent, and @funnylovesz my GPA is 3.6 according to the roger website which was given to me.
Again thank you for your responses, I really appreciate it
A UC/CSU GPA of 3.6 with an SAT of 1900 will put you in the running for UCM/UCR/UCSC possibly UCI. Most of the Cal states are good options except possibly SLO and SDSU (depending upon major). You have alot of options so do some research, see where you are you interested in attending and zero in on a major. Good Luck.
Try to get straight As this semester or close to because that’ll give you a stronger shot at the UCs.
I think @gumbymom nailed it,
Do your best this semester, you’ll be qualified for many good CA schools. Apply broadly and see where the chips fall.
Good luck
