I really want to go to grad school for EE but I don't know what school to apply with such a low GPA. Please give me some advices of which schools I should apply for ( I don't want to go to Cal State anymore).

The way to offset your low GPA is with LOTS of research experience. You also need to get your GRE verbal score up some. 440 is low enough that people will take notice.

I'm assuming you are applying for Fall 2012, since the application deadline for most of the schools you listed has already passed. If this is the case, I would suggest finding a position in someone's lab until then if you want to go to graduate school.
