<p>You should try applying to colleges in your home country. Many actually have very good programs for abroad sections. You would stand a good chance at the CSU’S. At the top prier UC’s, those will be very high reaches for you.</p>

<p>To College130AP:
How about UCR and UCM? Is there any chances?</p>

<p>All you can do is try Merced. They do appear to need students.</p>
