Do I have a shot at any of these schools?

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm a junior on my 2nd semester and I have a cummulative of 2.4 right now. I realize that the end of this semester is my last chance to raise my GPA. I won't have a 3.0, but maybe my ECs and ACT or SAT scores will balance it out? </p>

<p>I'm hoping that by the end of this semester I'll be able to raise my cummulative GPA up to a 2.6. </p>

<p>Here are some of my ECs:</p>

<ul>
<li> Volunteered for First 5 regularly for 4 months sophomore year</li>
<li> Have been volunteering for LIFE animal rescue since freshman year</li>
<li> In the “Health Science Academy” at my school</li>
<li> Receptionist/MA at Park Lane Urgent Care & Family practice </li>
<li> First Aid, Aed, and Cpr certified</li>
<li> VP of Morin Medical Corp. </li>
</ul>

<p>(I'm trying to remember more ECs, I know i've done alot more)</p>

<p>I'm not dumb, I've just been self absorbed in her social life (which I regret so much). I've never drank or tried drugs. I'm not depressed. There have been no overwhelming deaths in my family. There's no good excuse to why I've been such a failure. </p>

<p>I seriously do not want to go to community college. </p>

<p>.........................................................................
I'm looking into:
- Cal State Channel Islands
- CSUN
- ASU
- Cal State Long Beach</p>

<p>Erose: The cool thing about college is that everyone gets to start over and once you graduate no one will care about high school. Are you a Cali resident if so if you don’t get in this year, go to community college and then get in under a strong mandate from the state. GL</p>

<p>If you are a California resident, you can get into a non-impacted major at a non-impacted CSU campus if you have completed the a-g subject requirements and your GPA and test scores meet the following:
[CSUMentor</a> - Plan for College - High School Students - Eligibility Index - California Residents](<a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>GPA Calculator | CSU)
Note that GPA is calculated this way (grade in 9th grade do not count, although they must be C or higher to fulfill the a-g subject requirements):
[CSUMentor</a> - Plan for College - High School Students - GPA Calculator](<a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Cal State Apply | CSU)</p>

<p>However, many campuses and majors are impacted. See the following:
[CSUMentor</a> - Plan for College - High School Students - Campuses That Have Higher Standards](<a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Cal State Apply | CSU)
[Impaction</a> | Student Academic Support | CSU](<a href=“http://www.calstate.edu/sas/impactioninfo.shtml]Impaction”>http://www.calstate.edu/sas/impactioninfo.shtml)</p>

<p>Your local CSU may give you some preference, according to <a href=“http://www.calstate.edu/sas/publications/documents/CSULocalAdmission-ServiceAreas.pdf[/url]”>http://www.calstate.edu/sas/publications/documents/CSULocalAdmission-ServiceAreas.pdf&lt;/a&gt; .</p>

<p>Currently, of those you list, Channel Islands is not campus-impacted, but the nursing (basic) major is major-impacted. Northridge is campus-impacted, although only the business major is major-impacted. All majors are major-impacted at Long Beach.</p>
