<p>Hello, I am a Californian high school senior. I was planning to attend college out of state, so I didn't apply to any UCs or privates in California. However, I did apply to one Cal State as an afterthought. I got into my top choice schools out of state, but my dad has recently became very ill and I don't want to leave him. So, I was considering going to CSU Eastbay for a year, and applying to UC Irvine. Will this be hard to do? Thank you in advance for your help.</p>
<p>Sidenote* With my SAT scores and high school transcripts I am very confident that I could've gotten in had I applied straight from high school.</p>
