Sorry I’m late! When I applied to Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering at UC Davis, I had a 3.33 UC GPA, a 450V, a 720Q, and a 4.0W. I also had no research experience, but I did have military experience. They accepted me, so I know it can be done with grades like yours. You have to have a 3.5 in order to be considered for a Ph.D., but you only need a 3.0 to be considered for a Masters.

That said, I would apply to Cal Poly SLO, Cal Poly Pomona, and San Jose State as well. They’re easier to get into, and they’re cheap(er).
