Hi I graduated from UVA's B.S program in 2017 and have since been working but finding myself wanting to go back to school and study to get an m.arch to then work professionally at a higher level and produce research on sustainability and technology in the profession because I find it lacking and not well implemented. 

I have a 3.4 in my major and am interested in going to Sci-Arc UCLA UC Berkeley and other places but I am not sure what I should do besides returning to my portfolio and improving it amongst other things. 

Are the schools I have in mind good ideas or should I look elsewhere? Ideally I would like to stay in California.
