International student - California colleges

<p>Hi</p>

<p>I'm an international student from Sweden. I would really appreciate some help.</p>

<p>GPA(?): Well, Sweden dosn't use the same gradesystem.
Swedish system: 16,6/20. About 3,32/4 I guess.
Taking the SAT and TOEFL during september and october.
EC's: Well, swedish schools dosn't give the same benefit for EC's as schools in the US.
But.. aside from school, I've played soccer for 14 years. Badminton 1 year. floorball 2 year(don't think this sport exist in America). I have been a soccercamp-leader for 4 summers.</p>

<p>For me, the obvious dream is to attend UCLA. But that's impossible for me, right?</p>

<p>Other interesting schools: UCSB, SDSU, LMU, USF, CSUN, SJSU. In order</p>

<p>Finacial aid: I want visit some schools and try out for the soccerteams, to possibly get a scholarship. Otherwise I'll probably try to get a on-campus job. I don't need to take a loan from the school. I can do that back home. </p>

<p>I want to major in something like Design/Visual Communications, Graphic design, advertising art ... </p>

<p>Please chance me at the schools above. What's needed from me to get in?</p>

<p>Other suggestions is appreciated.</p>
