<p>Cal State Long Beach is mostly a commuter school and doesn’t really have the same campus spirit as some of your other options.
Utah State’s acceptance rate is about 94%, OK State 88%, Univ of Kansas 74%, Kansas State 62%, Cal State Long Beach 55% (remember this is more difficult for non-California residents).
Your applications will benefit from your strong upward grade trend. You will want to prepare carefully for your standardized tests, because they will probably be looked at carefully as an indicator of your potential.
Also consider University of Arizona (88%) or University of Missouri, Columbia (similar), or many other great colleges that have more flexible admissions.
Ultimately, it will depend on what you are looking for in a school and what you intend to study, but know that your freshman grades will not hold you back from some fantastic options.</p>
<p>what are some other schools that i could possible get into? is my gpa and act decent for schools like kansas st and ok st?</p>
<p>At both Kansas State and Oklahoma State, your ACT score of 24 will get you in. Both say on their admissions pages that there are several ways to qualify for admission. At OK State, 24 on the ACT is enough. At Kansas State, it’s 21 or above on the ACT.
Be sure to check both admissions websites for their course requirements to make sure that you have taken the right mix. I noticed that Kansas State expects a year of Computer Technology, which is not a typical requirement. Since you are a junior, you have time to adjust your schedule for next fall if you need to.</p>
