How do I look to colleges?

<p>For CSU’s and UC’s you need to calculate your CSU/UC GPA (weighted), see link:

<p>You need to take your SAT/ACT this Fall to really determine if you have a chance at UCLA or any other UC’s. For CSUN, based on your GPA, you should have no problem with getting an acceptance.</p>

<p>You SHOULD BE CONCERNED about financial aid, since the UC’s and CSU’s do not guarantee to meet need. You and your parents will need to file the FASFA and possibly the CSS profile to be eligible for financial aid. FASFA application is available in January. You cannot wait until acceptances start rolling in during the months of February-March 2015 regarding financial aid.</p>

<p>This summer you should study for the SAT, work on your UC essays and do more research about possible colleges you would be interested in applying this Fall. Check the NPC Net price calculator each school of interest to see if it is affordable and calculate your EFC (estimated family contribution) to see if there will be a gap in which you are required to pay some amount towards your education.<br>
