I'll buy that. The school I went to would let you in if you had a good GPA/SAT. However, the poster said his counselor told him he "couldn't apply" which is ridiculous. You can always apply.
Also, I'm willing to bet that Cal and UCLA still take in to consideration other factors besides just GPA and SATs.
I just graduated from a UC and I can guarantee you they look at more than just your high school grades and SAT scores. Community service, personal statement, life hardships, etc. are all taken into consideration.
Honestly, it's not uncommon for someone with marginal academic stat's but a bang-up essay and a great letter of reference to wind up at UCB in the fall.
Sack up and apply. Worse case scenario is you don't get in - big deal. Have a back-up school or two and you'll live.

Well, the USNA for one, but it's as hard, if not harder to get into than a UC. But I meant that more as a joke, as I am going to the Virginia Military Institute. The Citadel is another one to look into.
I just had a heart attack. Parking on-campus here: $35. That covers a whole year.
Yes, but SDSU and Fresno State are some of the harder CSUs to get into. I second(third? Maybe even fourth?
) looking outside of California.If you cannot get in to SDSU you should really consider how hard you tried in high school.
Oh and I think this might be the first time I have ever pimped out my school: Go Anteaters! (UC Irvine)
Yea our school mascot sucks, but we have a ton of einsteins running around that are making my diploma valuable.

...which means that they don't have one on campus.
You could look at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. They have a NROTC unit and admission into the school is not that bad. I lived in SLC for a few years (wife graduated from there) and its a decent place if you dont mind snow and some wacked out politics.
You could come to Cal State Fullerton, no NROTC or Football but you can attend classes with me!! And our Baseball team is good and our mascot is an elephant named tuffy! GO TITANS!!

I guess it depends on what core class you got a D in. If it was one of your A-G requirement classes then that *might* be problem. But, some advice from experience: NEVER trust your academic counselor. Their word is not golden. You should just try applying anyway if you're set on going to a UC. Yes, you could always head eastward as long as you're willing to pay out of state tuition.
If you decide to go to a JC I personally don't think it would be a waste of time as long as you keep your grades up. You could finish up your undergrad UC breadth requirements there and then focus on classes for your major once you transfer to a UC.
Not to burst your bubble but, really... UC's aren't all they're cracked up to be. You're paying for a name, not necessarily a great education. Oh yeah... and you'll also be paying for parking but you'll never get a spot.
