LowGPA decent SAT

<p>Im going into my senior year with just above a 2.0 GPA and have taken the SAT once and without studying I got a 1680. My GPA is a 5.67 but I don't know the scale and I have been told its a 2.0. </p>

<p>Crit. Reading - 550
Math - 530
Writing - 600</p>

<p>I want to pursue a programming degree but I want to go out of state. I am thinking I should go to an out of state community college for two years and then transfer to a state university.</p>

<p>If you don’t have any Ds or Fs then try to apply to a 4 year. You have an above average SAT so go for it! Good luck</p>

<p>Bumpppppppp</p>

<p>Bumppppppp</p>

<p>You may want to stay in-state for community college</p>

<p>Oops I forgot to put my Unis.</p>

<p>LSU - out of state
San Jose - out of state
UCLA - out of state
UTAustin - in state</p>

<p>I only want to attend an out of state CC so that I can get residency and not have to pay huge out of state tuition fees going to a 4yr.</p>

<p>At my CC, it’s about $46 a unit now but for OOS students it’s $226. Think about that. I’m assuming you’ll be working full-time as well to support yourself in California.</p>

<p>Anyway, you have no chance at San Jose or UCLA with those current stats (with your particular major). Your CC GPA will override all of this, so if you do extremely well (my friend got denied to UCLA with a 3.6 so keep that in mind for computer science) I’d say you’re in. </p>

<p>Transfer students from California community college receive priority. This is law. Your stats are too low for these schools. As for a state school like San Jose, they accept people in tiers. First, it’s their local area. Then next, the surrounding areas. After that, the whole state and the rest of the country. </p>

<p>Now getting into a California community college is easy. You get the acceptance the day you apply pretty much. You’ll have to make sure you have your finances in order. </p>

<p>I bet you could get into somewhere like CSU Northridge or Humboldt, though.</p>

<p>I’m really looking to go to a school with a good CS Dept. I read that UCLA has one of the best.</p>

<p>I live in TX ATM.</p>

<p>Honestly, I don’t think you stand a chance at getting into UCLA.
I think you should look into a CC in state before transferring out.</p>
