Chances for California State Universities (CSU)

<p>Okay so I am from Hoffman Estates, IL and my dream is to go to any of these schools: Fresno State, Cal State Long Beach, Cal State Fullerton, Cal State Northridge, San Diego State. FRESNO STATE IS MY #1. I plan to apply to all of those schools, I know expensive! I just want to know what are my chances of getting into these schools. </p>

<p>I am a Senior in High School as of right now. I know the +/- don't usually count with college admissions, but I put them anyway. </p>

<p>10th year grades:</p>

<p>Accelerated English 2 - 1st Semester: B, 2nd Semester B+</p>

<p>Plane/Solid Geometry- 1st Semester: C+, 2nd Semester B-</p>

<p>Chemistry- 1st Semester: B-, 2nd Semester A-</p>

<p>Journalistic Writing- Only one semester: A-</p>

<p>Spanish 3- 1st Semester: B-, 2nd Semester B-</p>

<p>AP Euro History- DROPPED THE CLASS W/P (Withdrawn with Passing grade)</p>

<p>World Affairs- Only One Semester: A</p>

<p>11th year grades:</p>

<p>AP Lit and Comp- 1st Semester: B, 2nd Semester B-</p>

<p>Physics- 1st Semester: C, 2nd Semester C-</p>

<p>AP US History- 1st Semester: C+, 2nd Semester C-</p>

<p>AP Psychology- 1st Semester: B+, 2nd Semester B+</p>

<p>Spanish 4- 1st Semester: C+, 2nd Semester D+</p>

<p>Algebra 2- 1st Semester: C-, 2nd Semester D+</p>

<p>My California GPA is a 3.0.</p>

<p>I took the ACT. I got an 8 on the writing, and a composite score of 23. I plan on retaking it. My goal is to get 25-27. But if I get the same score on the next test, I will be sending the 23 to colleges. </p>

<p>My senior classes will be:</p>

<p>Expository Comp/ Rhetoric of Cinema (English classes)
Intro to Econ/Gov
Trip-Pre Calc
Consumers ED
Biology 2
Photo 1 & 2
Health</p>

<p>And as for Senior year, usually grades are due by the end of November, but my semester 1 grades are found out by the end of January. So would I just send them what I have now?</p>

<p>I am pretty sure these colleges do not really look at extra curriculars, but I am in:</p>

<p>Newspaper (Editor Junior Year, probally Editor Senior Year) -3 years
Students Against Destructive Decisions- 3 years
Hawk Hooks (help against bullying)- 2 years
Literary Magazine- 1 year
National Honor Society- 1 year
Theater Guides (helps with theater performances) - 1 year
Volleyball- 1 year
Leadership Conference at School
I was asked for leadership conference in WA, but could not afford it.
I have had 2 jobs.</p>

<p>My father only finished high school, and my mom did some college but did not graduate. My father also does not pay any child support and my mom makes around 56,000 a year. </p>

<p>I hope that tells some about me. I can always post anything missing. But can someone please tell me what my chances are for these colleges.</p>
