As an in-state student, you’ll get a break, which should help you out in the admissions process somewhat. Also, volunteer work is often looked upon favorably by colleges, so if you’ve done a fair amount of that, that will look good as well. Other advice: make sure you write a good college essay… that can furthermore give you a boost. I’d recommend, like several of the other posters on here, studying for and retaking the SATs. Also, you could try taking the ACTs because there are some people that do much better on those than the SATs.

Chances on a scale of: high reach, reach, semi-reach, good fit, likely, safety.

Portland State University… SEMI-REACH.
University of Portland… REACH.
University of Oregon… SEMI-REACH.

Some other schools to look into located in either Washington, Oregon, or California… California State University-Los Angeles, Eastern Washington University, La Sierra University, Mt. Sierra College (technical schools with majors solely revolving around computers), Walla Walla College,Western Oregon University.
