You should list your non-weighted GPA.
Yes, you can probably get into the CSU schools you’ve listed.
UCs are out of reach.

You might want to try for scholarships at some private schools which want to raise their minority enrollments. Perhaps look into:

Pacific Union College
Menlo College

Do you think I could get accepted into csu’s? which ones?i don’t think I’ll get accepted into UC’s (maybe only riverside but through their gap program) but what do you guys think?
I am considering CSU San Marcos, CSU Long Beach, Cal Poly Pomona and ESPECIALLY SDSU( I really want to go to sdsu)

Your extra curriculars are really strong and show academic interest and passion. I think you can get into all of the CSUs that you mentioned and possibly UCSD or UCSB, definitely riverside. But no matter where you go it sounds like you have a good shot at success in life good luck

I am a Junior in High school and I I have a 4.0 cumulative GPA and a 4.4 weighted. I am part of the academic decathlon at my school as well as the marching band and wind ensemble. During my sophomore year of high school I won a scholarship that allowed me to traveled to India to help impoverished girls in India. I take all the AP classes at offered at my school and I do well in all of them. I’ve only taken 1 AP test(AP World) as it was the only one available that year, and got a 4.
I I live in Southern California and am a Mexican female, and the first person in my family to pursue a college education. I was recently recognized by college board’s National Hispanic Recognition Program, and have been awarded multiple academic letters.i have taken all available AP classes and done well in them(except for one C in math). I have teachers willing to write excellent letters of recommendation. what are my chances?

I also plan to apply to all the UC’s, Notre Dame, Cornell, and USC, what are my chances for these different schools.

hope that’s enough info…

This doesnt do any good unless you have SATs or ACTs.
