<p>hello,</p>
<p>I am in dire need of help. I am kinda freaking out right now. I have a GPA of 3.16 (w/u). I really do not want to go to a community college. I have slacked off so much in high school. I did really bad on my SAT (1360) but I will take it over and do better. I got a 19 on my ACT but I will take it over also. I have done alot of extra curricular activities such as more than 500 hours of community, member of many clubs (including being president and VP), I am working, and still in the process of looking for a good internship.</p>
<p>Can you please let me know of any chance of me getting into any 4-year University in California? If so which ones? mostly which UC schools?</p>
<p>Also can you please tell me if there is any chance I can get into:</p>
<p>Syracuse?
U of Minnesota?
U SF?
Purdue university?</p>
<p>Please give me back feed back and I thank you for taking the time to read my post.</p>
<p>Hon, to be quite honest, the last four schools you listed are probably not going to happen. But, if you prep really good and get your ACT up over a 22, you can definately get into a four year univeristy. </p>
<p>However, I doubt it will be a UC that will take you. Why not save money, start at community and work really hard, then transfer? It seems like a good way to get a fresh start for you</p>

<p>yes i know but i do not want to go to community, there has to be some chance to get into a 4 year at least one of the crappy UC’s or something. I heard U of Minnesota was really easy to get into and I know ppl who go there who are did worse than me in high school. Please tell me there is a chance to getting in somewhere??</p>
<p>Can somebody help me. Chance. I’ll chance back!!</p>
<p>okay first off, U of M- Twin Cities is hard as heck to get into short of being a one legged blind african hispanic of low income with a 4.0 and a 36 ACT. The other locations like Crookston and Morris. Are safeties however for anyone. and crookston is apparently a little gem that most ignore. I believe you can look into liberal arts colleges, but the test scores will kill you unless you can get to a test optional place choose not to report and then write stellar essays and show interest. You should look into Gustavus Adolphus College in St.Peter,MN. I go there for a camp and their campus is really nice, as well as they are test-optional. So if you feel your EC’s can outweigh your GPA then you’re fine there. the four schools mentioned however are flagships and are therefore numbers games, which unfortunately a lot fo us dont have. 
good luck, chance back.

<p>Can I please get somemore suggestions. I’ll chance back</p>
<p>I don’t see what’s so wrong with going to community college. I have a friend who went for two years and just got into Cornell. However, I would really, really play up your ECs and try to apply to schools that are test optional (like above). Also, study for the SAT/ACT… what were your section scores?</p>

I know i can go anywhere i want if i go there first but i made a commitment that i am not going to one and im going to go straight to a 4 year university, Can you please give me some ideas of colleges that you would think would except me with a 3.4 GPA and about a 22 on ACT?? chance back please
