What are my chances of getting into any UC or CSU?

Well, from my experience, you will almost certainly not get into UCLA or UCSD. You probably won't get into Irvine, and you probably will get into Riverside. In terms of the Cal States, you will probably not get into Long Beach, but should get into all of the other Cal States.

You have a slim chance at getting into UCLA, UCSD, and UC Irvine(Average GPA there is around 4.0). You can most likely get into UCR, and have a really good chance at getting into all of the CSUs.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
