Hi, I am interested in USF. I just finished the net price calculator and my net price is 45000 per year. Is this school worth it? If I got additional scholarships would this school be worth it? I scored a 24 on the Act and have a 3.174 GPA. I am also applying to SDSU, CSULA, and CSUN. I also live in Tennessee. Thanks!!!
You are going to be full pay at the Cal State Us. Can your family afford that? What’s wrong with U Tenn?
U of Tennessee is a good school and all but I want something really different. I want to go somewhere more liberal since I am part of the LGBT group. University of New Mexico is my safety though. I really want to live in Cali.
Average GPA for enrolled students was 3.63 (4.0 scale) and only 14.2% acceptance rate for your GPA range. Your ACT composite is at the 25th percentile. Even if you had the money to attend, your chances are not good in getting an acceptance.
Check the common dataset for all schools of interest before you consider applying so you do not waste time or money,

This is my opinion, but I would look at privates who value diversity, but are lacking it (they may pay and you can limit your search to liberal states). Otherwise, get ready to pay top dollar for average schools and hope you have the experience you are expecting.
CC community - Please don’t rag on me for calling her choices average (I know they’re not) but, you get what I am saying.

There are LOTS of schools all over the country that have a liberal bent & active LGBT community.

CA is not culturally homogeneous state.
