<p>i live in ohio and am dying to go to college in california, what are my chances of getting in to any school possibly this one if i recieve a 25-30 act score with good EC's?</p>
<p>what's your GPA?</p>
<p>my gpa should end up around 3.5, i go to a very challenging catholic private schools, lots of kids throughout the years have gotten into notre dame so thats why its so low</p>
<p>Well for outer of staters who want to go to a UC, the minimum GPA required is 3.4. Is the 3.5 your UC GPA or school GPA? find that out first.</p>
<p>but even for the lower tiers it could be tough to get in. since you're out of state, I'd say around a 25-26 ACT should get you in.</p>
<p>so you have to get a 3.4 or else they dont even look at you? thats tough, i go to a really competitive private school that going to be tough</p>
<p>also, is the minimum gpa required for a cal state school also 3.4 or is it lower?</p>
<p>for cal state it's much lower, i think it's something like 2.5 but don't hold me to that.</p>
<p>also, i don't know if they won't even look at you. i guess just try to compensate for it with a better ACT score and hope for the best.</p>
<p>thanks im only a junior so i have some time to improve on sat/act scores but thank you</p>
<p>being a junior you also have time to improve your gpa... :D</p>
<p>Just a note, OOS entry into the UCs is VERY competitive. So you're gonna have to do a little bit better than a 3.5</p>
