Engineering Schools In Cali

[merry plinth]

Location/Region:
Preferably near or within a City. I am from California and looking for a school in California or on the west coast. But not too picky about location aside from a climate that i can run outside year round in.

Major:
Most likely mechanical or environmental engineering (leaning towards mechanical with a minor in sustainability/Environmental engineering depending on how the coursework looks) but I am also currently looking into majoring or minoring in Psychology

GPA/Test Scores:
SAT: 1450
Unweighted GPA: 3.18
Weighted GPA: 3.41

Curriculum: if i go down the engineering route, would be extremely interested in philosophy classes to squeeze in between the expected rigorous workload of my major.

Size:
Larger School with any size classes

Costs: Won't need aid in 90% of cases

Additional: Would like a more diverse campus with a healthy amount of LGBTQ inclusion. In general i would like a campus where i will interact with more liberal arts majors while still getting a degree that will most likely make me stable money.

In general i think i need a check on how high/low i can/should shoot with the wide margin between my GPA and SAT

I would say UC Davis bc they’re super good with sustainability but your low GPA (for a UC as their min is 3.0 in state) and their test blind policies makes that a bit hard
