Some input requested, as we get acceptances! UW GPA: 3.5, SAT: 1290 [mechanical engineering, <$40-50k]

Yep, likely we have too many. Thats a combo of being scared of not getting in anywhere good in CA (UC or CSU) plus us being new to the college process and UC colleges altogether!

Seems like there are already two CSU admissions (Chico and Sacramento).

For UCs and CSUs, the recalculated GPA by the method given in GPA Calculator for the University of California – RogerHub is most relevant. There are three versions – unweighted, weighted-capped (found on most UC web sites), and fully weighted. CSU uses weighted-capped, except that if college courses were taken in high school, they count double. CPSLO is an exception among CSUs in calculating with 9th as well as 10th-11th grade.
