Sorry if this was a lot to go through. I am really worried because of my low gpa. I really hope I can get into Cal Poly Slo (I am applying for early admission) and the higher end of the UC's. I condensed my extracurricular to what I thought was more important, I actually have a bit more. I am hoping to show the UC's and the Cal Polys that I am a well rounded individual that not only focuses on academics but also a life outside. I am applying as an undergraduate computer science major for all the colleges. Please chance me, I know my gpa is on the low side.

Take the ACT and hire a tutor. The best way to counteract your low GPA is the have outstanding test scores. As you are today, here are your chances for undergraduate computer science major:

Cal Poly Slo -- Reach
Cal Poly Pomona -- Match
UCSD -- Reach
UCI -- Low Reach
UCSB -- Low Reach
UCR -- Match

I just applied for SLO recently and it's sooo risky I need someone to chance me. I would love to go to SLO so I can room with one of my distant friends. We agreed on it on a Facebook status. Here are my stats

Freshman year: 2.8
Overall GPA: 3.9

SAT: 1980

I know my stats are OK, but I am on varsity football. So is it cacked or will i just have to seethe in it?
