So I want to go to school in CALI, but I'm OOS.

College Search & Selection

<p>I want to go to college in California, but the UCs all have like a 3% acceptance rate out of state. What are other colleges in California with a strong science department and good pre-med prep? My SAT score is in the 1900s, so that doesn't give me any chance at any of the Claremont McKenna colleges.</p>

<p>How are these colleges?
Loyola Marymount College
Santa Clara University</p>

<p>Can anyone give me any suggestions?</p>

<p>you may hate the idea but you can go to a cal community college and transfer easily after you get residency. plus its cheaper and you can choose where you want to live. </p>

<p>good luck</p>

<p>I think it's silly for you to think you don't have a chance at any of the Claremont Colleges.</p>

<p>If your GPA is good you definitely have a chance at Claremont Mckenna, Pitzer, and Scripps (if you're female). Pomona would be a slight reach.</p>

<p>Santa Clara and Loyola Marymount are excellent schools. As are Occidental and USC.</p>

<p>You might also wan to look at Chapman University</p>

<p>How about USC?</p>

<p>University of Southern California</p>

<p>With a 1950 SAT I score,
UCB/UCLA: Reach (out of state)
UCSD: Slight Reach (out of state)
UCI/UCD/UCSB: Match (out of state)
UCSC/UCR/UCM: Safe Match (out of state)</p>

<p>In addition to the other suggestions, check out U Redlands. The sciences are strong, and it's in a fairly nice college town.</p>
