The CSU’s and UC’s are test blind for this admission cycle so your ACT will not be considered. All Nursing programs are impacted at the UC’s and CSU’s and all the direct admit BSN programs have under a 5% acceptance rate. The 2+2 BSN programs are also impacted and there is no guarantee of getting into a program after completing the Nursing pre-req’s. California is a highly competitive state for Nursing and there are just not enough spots for well qualified applicants even for in-state students.
What about affordability? CSU’s and UC’s offer little to no financial aid to OOS students so figure on $42K/year for a CSU and $65K/year for the UC’s. Being low income, you need to focus on the private schools where need and merit aid will be available. I would cross off the UC’s and CSU’s.
Overall you look like a competitive applicant so if California is your target state, look at Azusa Pacific University and University of San Francisco for a direct admit nursing program instead which could garner some merit aid. Also consider Arizona State for a direct admit BSN program or some schools in Oregon like University of Portland. I would check into schools under the WUE and see if Nursing programs are available for the WUE tuition discount.
Regarding your GPA question for OOS applicants, only AP/IB or DE courses (UC/CSU transferable) count for the extra weighting and the CSU’s and UC’s only use 10-11th grades in their GPA calculation. Also note 1 year of a visual or performing arts course is a UC/CSU requirement.
Here is the UC GPA calculator: GPA Calculator for the University of California – RogerHub
UC’s will look at all 3 GPA’s: Unweighted, Capped Weighted and Fully Weighted while the CSU’s only consider the Capped Weighted GPA.
Based on your listed classes, only AP US History and AP English will get the extra honors points for 4 semesters. OOS Honors courses are not weighted.
You have better chances at the UC’s and CSU’s as either a Human Biology major (UC’s) or Health care Administration (CSU’s) but if Nursing is your ultimate goal, then a direct admit is the best option and paying over $160K for the CSU’s and $260K for the UC’s is crazy if not unrealistic.
