Hey there! I'm a current rising senior living in California with a preference to stay in-state. I have a 3.8 unweighted GPA and a 4.1 GPA weighted. Some colleges I'm already looking at are the University of Southern California, Chapman University, and the California State University of Long Beach. I don't care about prestige; I want to apply to colleges that will have what I want academically. If there are any "hidden gems" in California or elsewhere that have what I'm looking for, I would love to know! Thank you :D
I'm not sure if these are "hidden gems" for you but maybe Santa Clara University, Loyola Marymount, SDSU, SJSU, or University of La Verne? University of the Pacific also kind-of matches what you want.
I'd start with these if you haven't looked into them already and then if you want more options we can come up with some more.
