Colleges that are Reaches for Anybody...

<p>Those non-impacted CSUs would have different admission thresholds for in-state and out-of-state students, but the thresholds are published numbers known beforehand (see [CSUMentor</a> - Plan for College - High School Students - Eligibility Index](<a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>http://www.csumentor.edu/planning/high_school/eligibility_index.asp) ), so any reasonably informed student (in-state or out-of-state) should know whether one of those CSUs is a safety or out-of-reach for admissions (there is no need to guess; the only admission uncertainty would be if the student is taking the SAT or ACT relatively late, or if the student does poorly enough in senior year to get admission rescinded). In any case, the non-impacted CSUs do not attract many out-of-state students anyway.</p>
