What’s up?

So, it’s my second year taking classes at a local community college (Los Angeles County), and I wanna transfer to a decent 4-year institution. My major is mechanical engineering. 3.48 GPA. No extraordinary EC’s; just some clubs. I work as a tutor, if that counts for anything.

So, I definitely wanna apply to Cal Poly SLO and Cal Poly Pomona. From UC’s, I’d like to apply to SD and SB. I did the TAG thing with UCI, just in case.

Since my family is considered to have low income, I get to apply to 4 UC’s and Cal State’s for free. That leaves me with a free spot in the UC’s and two free spots in the CalState’s apps. I think I might apply to CSULB, because their engineering dep is not bad. Now, I want to apply to places that I have a chance to get into. I am 99.999999999999% sure that UCLA won’t accept me, so I won’t even bother applying there.

What do you, guys, think? Do I have any chances to get into the mentioned colleges? Which other UC’s or Cal State’s should I consider?

EDIT1: Oh, and I don’t know if I should apply to USC… Their average GPA for engineering is pretty high, but every now and then they accept people with just “good” grades, like 3.6, 3.55 etc.

Thank you.
