<p>Im a senior from Illinois who is looking to apply to san diego state or uc irvine. I have a 3.9/4.0 GPA in many clubs and sports, but only down fall is 21 act... How are my chances??</p>
<p>As an OOS student (or even an in-state student) getting into UCI with an ACT 21 is doubtful.</p>
<p>If you can bring your ACT up (are you retaking? are you taking the SAT??), you might be able to get into CSUSD, but the Cal States are tightening enrollments, too. </p>
<p>Can I ask why you want to go to a CA school…especially since you’ll have to pay OOS costs?</p>
<p>Well i have family out there… and my brother goes to USC. I will prolly retake act in Oct though</p>
