<p>plan on majoring in Biology (specifically animal biology, zoology, or wildlife)
Middle Class. Will apply for financial aid. Do I have any chance for any of the UC’s? community college is not an option. thank you for your time!</p>
<p>Community college isn’t an option? Why? It kind of sounds like it’d be a better thing for you so that you could have better prospects when you transfer to a UC. </p>
<p>If your SAT score is 1270/2400…I don’t think you’d honestly get into any UC or CSU unless you can tell me what your M+V scores were. 1500/2400 is the national average. </p>
<p>Your URM status would help you more if you could pull up your SAT scores. I think the damage is done already for your GPA.</p>
<p>Apply broadly and cover all your bases (UCs, CSUs, private and out-of-state colleges). You don’t know whether you can get in until you apply so don’t exclude yourself from applying to certain colleges (Berkeley, UCLA and the likes) based on the saying so of random strangers on the internet (then again, you don’t have to listen to me either). </p>
<p>You will probably get better financial aid offers from private/out-of-state colleges (colleges out in the Midwest and the South LOVE California students … but then again, you are going to college in the Midwest or the South) so you may want to look into those.</p>
