CSU Chico, San Diego State, CSU Fullerton, CSULB, UC Santa Cruz, UCI, UCR Theatre programs

Okay first you should know a little about my self. I graduated from the class of 2016 and currently doing a gap year. I am doing the gap year for personal reasons (medical). I am now applying to college and these are some of the schools I have applied and interested in (title of thread). I am interested in theatre arts as my major. That can always change but it is something that I find fascinating.

My GPA for high schools is: 3.7 weighted 9-12, 3.6 weighted 10-12, 3.5 unweighted 9-12, 3.4 unweighted 10-12.
My Old SAT that is took while in high school is mediocre but I have to use it for UC as it says on their application. It is 1650.
My New SAT is better and is 1290 which I will send to the CSUs.

Cal State Chico has a nice campus and their theatre program is quite good. I hear SDSU and CSUF have good programs as well and slightly more well known for theatre but I want to go to a school thats right for me. I hear at SDSU it is sometimes difficult to get classes. Plus I should also add I have only very little theatre training so I am not sure if I would thrive in that environment to really pursue drama. I want to be able to understand what I am learning and be able to put it to use is what I am attempting to say. I am not too sure about CSULB and any information will be greatly appreciated.

Now the UCs. UC Santa Cruz I know has a nice theatre program and so does UCI. I do not know much about UCR though. I am not sure if I will have a worse chance of getting into a UC because of my lower SAT but my guess is that my chances will be at least somewhat less likely.

I am considering attending a CSU to save money but I do know that UCs carry more prestige. Also considering going to CSU for undergrad and grad for UC. I say that knowing that theatre majors may not have many job prospects but still I want to do it. Anyway, any thoughts on me getting into UCs or to possibly going to Cal State Chico for theatre arts would much appreciated!

Edit: Sorry should have put this in the other discussion areas such as admissions or what are my chances! I do not know how to change it.

See who admits you and then worry about it.

UCI is probably the best on your list for theatre but my best guess is that you wont get in there as it is very hard to get in but not sure about a theatre major. CSU Fullerton has amazing acting department and lots of famous alumni and hopefully you have already been accepted there if you applied. I am really not sure about the rest.

CSUF is a cut program…beware
