    Uc san Diego, Irvine, riverside should be gettable....thing is, other popular unis are the cal state unis...but they-d be low for ur profile....any particular reason for California? The state is not in the usual economic shape tat it once commanded....u could try ga tech, uni of Arizona, Virginia, u Minn tc, Suny buffalo, Ohio state, u Delaware, Utah state is doing pretty well, u mass, Iowa state, Kansas state etc....
