<p>I know full rides are few and far between, but I was just wondering where I can apply if I want a good chance at getting one. I've thought about Chico State and CSU Los Angeles. Any others?</p>
<p>I know I've posted my stats all over the place, but here they are again.

<p>again, perhaps not a full ride (I know my gpa is nothing impressive), but perhaps something close. Thanks.</p>
<p>the problem is, your GPA could get lowered (and typically will unless you get complete As on most or all of your classes.)</p>
<p>for example, when i had 29 units, i had a gpa of 3.552 (or 3.55) . when i finished with community college, i left with 65 units, and a gpa of 3.446 (or 3.45.) Now the average admit gpa for my major, philosophy, in 2009, was 3.43 so i had a nice gpa (although i think this changed to like 3.5x in 2010)</p>
<p>my advice is to just keep getting As, as many as possible. I’m sorry that i can’t give you a list of any colleges that will give you full rides, but having more As, without a doubt, will help.</p>
