Intended major?
Hey, ssaladass!! I am a sophomore in college and I actually was in the same boat as you as a junior, GPA and class wise! I did not apply to any of the other schools you listed except Fordham, but I got in with a scholarship! Try your best to keep your grades and extracurriculars up! They are great. I know Purdue’s acceptance is much higher than Fordham’s as well, so you should be safe there too
Good luck with everything!!
My UC GPA is around 3.8. My intended major is Communications
UC’s are very GPA focused so for the top UC’s, these will tough admits.
CSULB should be no problem since they admit by Eligibility index and major. EI= (CSU/UC GPA capped weighted x800) + (SAT Math + EBRW).
This is only statistical data from 2017 for comparison purposes and not major specific but it gives you an idea of how you compare based on UC capped weighted GPA and test scores.
Definitely apply widely and have 1-2 safety schools where you are willing to attend no matter what the admission process brings.
