Answer 1

With a 3.13 GPA, you're a little bit of a long shot for most of UC schools. I'd rule out Berkeley, UCLA and UCSD right off the bat. But I think you may have a shot at UC Riverside, Santa Cruz and Merced. And you said in another question that UCR and UCM just extended their deadlines, so if I were you, I'd haul a** and turn in those apps!

You definitely stand a good chance of admission to most CSU schools, though. Maybe the Cal Poly's might be a little tougher, but the rest will give you a good review based on your SAT scores and AP creds.

Are you considering private schools, too? If so, rule out Stanfurd CalTech and USC and most of the Claremont Colleges, but consider USF, Occidental and U of the Pacific.

I'f you've been slacking about getting your college stuff in order, maybe you should consider community college first, taking your general requirements and then transferring into the UC system.

Answer 2

You will certainly get into a decent university. The schools at the very top will be difficult for you to get into, though.

You can probably get into the better state schools, the better regional schools and some very good private universities or liberal arts colleges.
