<p>I want to go to college in California, but the UCs all have like a 3% acceptance rate out of state. What are other colleges in California with a strong science department and good pre-med prep? My SAT score is in the 1900s, so that doesn't give me any chance at any of the Claremont McKenna colleges.</p>
<p>How are these colleges?
Loyola Marymount College
Santa Clara University</p>
<p>Can anyone give me any suggestions?</p>
<p>Pepperdine and University of San Diego</p>

<p>you can try any of the Calstates</p>
<p>Pitzer College</p>
<p>aren't the Cal states major party schools?</p>
<p>claremenont colleges, ie pomona.; chapman u.; university of san francisco.</p>
<p>Not all of the Cal States are major party schools. Some, like San Diego, Chico, etc, have reputations as party schools, but there are many, such as San Francisco State, etc, that are pretty low key.</p>
<p>Not all the UCs have super low out-of-state acceptance. Have you tried UC Santa Cruz? Its right on the beach and I love the campus. Also, check out Santa Barbara.</p>
<p>You may wish to consider Univ. of the Pacific (UOP)</p>
