I don’t think the no calculus will necessarily hurt.
Are you open to and will the student be admitted to Merced? That’s your fail safe UC and Cal Poly Humboldt is the fail safe CSU. Very few CSUs (and even UCs) have the accredited major.
Is the UC/CSU / WUE thing for location purposes (you want to be close to home) or budget purposes?
If for budget, and you’d want other options beyond these geographies, then yes, a test would be smart - as you can get cheaper schools but some require a test for merit.
But if Cal Poly Humboldt is perfectly acceptable - and I don’t know the stats so the student might be well above - but if that (or Merced) are acceptable and desirable to you, you’re likely in a safe zone.
There’s 113 accredited schools in the major. How many match up with WUE you’d have to bounce off - but in CA the schools are:
Cal Poly Humboldt
California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo
University of California, Davis
University of California, Irvine
University of California, Merced
University of California, Riverside
San Diego State University
University of Southern California
