Answer 1

Your GPA may be low for a school like Davis. However, apply anyway!! You never know. Get good references. Make sure you apply to many other schools as well. The most important thing is that you get into college.

If you do not get into Davis as a freshman, you can always reapply and try to enter as a junior!!

You are working too much. You may want to take a year off and work 40 hours Monday through Friday at one job; then work a weekend job another place. Save all your money so you do not have to work while in school. Work only in the summer and Christmas beaks.

Good luck.

Answer 2

UC Davis is a very competitive school for admissions (as are all the UC schools). Your numbers simply aren't strong enough. There are other fine schools in the state university system where you could be admitted. Try them and work hard on your grades there.

Working "over 30 hours per week" is a good way to wreck your transcript. If that's what you did during the school year (on top of full-time school - I doubt it).

Your standardized test scores are pretty consistent. Take another one, and your score probably won't change much. It's who you are. Make the best of it.
