    Off this list. I applied to CSU Fullerton and CSUSM. I was accepted at CSUSM and did my post Bach there, really down to earth program but competing against SDSU for limited medical placements (my focus) and far from where I live, so I ultimately declined. I was rejected to SDSU, CSULA, and CSULB. I was waitlisted at Fullerton and got an email from the head of the program on 4/14 that they expected spots to open on 4/15, but I withdrew before finding out if I would be accepted (getting that email leads me to believe that I likely would have been) since I had actually been accepted to Chapman off the waitlist and preferred their 2 year program over Fullerton’s 3 year program. 
    3.97 CSD and overall GPA, Summa Cum Laud at UCI for undergrad in English, and over 300 GRE.

    I applied to CSU Fullerton, but wasn't invited to interview. 4.0 CSD GPA, but 3.75 overall, over 300 GRE. I know a couple people who got interviews that had done research. I feel like not getting involved in research was a big missed opportunity for me, so if you still have time, I highly suggest it! Waitlisted at PSU. I was really impressed by their program and campus.They have a strong medical emphasis if that's your interest.

    I applied to a couple of theses schools! I applied to San Marcos as well but sent my transcripts to the wrong place by accident ? but it probably wouldn’t have worked out anyway if I got an interview. Are you looking for more of a medical background or more towards the school/education side?

    You have great experiences and your stats are good. However, it’s really hard to get into CA schools, particularly CSUs because they take less of a holistic approach with some imposing an arbitrary GPA cutoff to narrow down the hundreds of applications they receive. I think with a 3.68 GPA, it could be challenging to get into a CSU (though not impossible!). I would lean heavily into applying to private CA schools, at least 4 out of state schools, and a couple handpicked CSUs you think you’d have the best shot at.
    Rely on EdFind as you pick your schools. I think if you do that and apply a variety of places you’ll have a good chance of starting in 2020  
    In CA, the problem is not your stats , it’s that there are too few programs with too few spots for way too many people!
    Good luck!

    The best place to check is EdFind, which can give you a great starting point to look at the stats, specialties, etc. of different schools. I'd recommend looking for schools with bilingual programs, as there's many that have them specifically. Honestly your stats aren't too bad, but I've heard that Californian schools are quite competitive, so maybe plan on applying to schools both in CA and in other states to increase your chances. Start doing research now and make a preliminary list of programs based off EdFind - from there you can do more research and narrow down your list.

    What’s your overall GPA? I think you have a solid GPA in the major so that will go a long way for you. Add in that you have relevant experience and you’re definitely on the right track. 
    I honestly don’t think you’ll have any trouble getting into grad school but if you really want solidify your chances I would just make sure to get a really great GRE score. My advisor had told me to aim for 300 combined. (I’m not sure if this is good or not so hopefully another user has better insight here).  
    I think if you can do great on your GRE and also make sure you have strong letters of recommendation plus a strong personal statement you’ll get in.
