Out of State, Will I be Rejected?

Hey! I’m a rising senior from California and interested in majoring in geology and/or environmental science. When I searched for a list of the most outdoors friendly colleges in the country, UGA came up. It seems to have a good geology and a great environmental science program so I definitely want to apply. My 31 ACT and 1410 SAT (670M, 740 CR) puts me well above the median, but my 3.0UW, 3.4W GPA makes UGA seem unlikely.

Does anyone know how feasible my chances are at the school? No hard feelings if you say that I’ll be rejected since I know that Georgia is one of the better schools in the SEC. If there’s a high probability that I’ll get a thin envelope come spring, do you have any suggestions for less competitive schools like UGA (eg, have a good geology and environmental science program in a forested area, preferably medium to large student body that isn’t over the top conservative like at Mississippi or Texas A&M)?
