Where should I apply for engineering?

<p>GPA: 4.0/5.0 weighted, 3.3/4.0 UW (2 C's, bunch of B's) >_< i think this alone kills me, along with my rank
rank: bad, i'm gonna say 75/500
school size: medium to large
Asian male, california
prospective major: engineering (most likely EE or computer eng.)</p>

<p>Course load: sophmore (ap euro, ap stats, chem h, eng h, chinese2), junior (ap eng lang, ap us, physics IB, pre calc H, chinese3; self studied for calc and physics AP tests, though i don't think the ad coms will notice that), senior (ap calc bc, ap chem, ap eng lit, ap psych, ap gov)</p>

<p>SAT I: 2160 (800M/710W/650CR)
SAT II: 8002c, projected: 750 for physics and chem</p>

<p>EC's:
school newspaper sports editor
president of an engineering oriented club at school
helping hands (tutoring kids who need help at school, esp in math/science)
Tutoring K-9th grade kids, 4 hours/week
100 hrs at local hospital (volunteering)</p>

<p>I think my bad GPA virtually eliminates me from almost decent colleges though =(</p>

<p>You're too hard on yourself. Seeing that your in California, your in great shape for Cal Poly SLO, UCD, UCI, UCSB, and possibly UCSD. If I counted correctly, you have 20+ semesters of honors level courses. That gives you a 70%+ chance at UCI, UCD and UCSB.

Add that with you above average SAT I & II scores, I wouldn't be suprised if you got into all three of those schools and possibly UCSD/UCLA.</p>
