depends on the school... you probably have to be over 3.0 to have any chance and id say a 3.2 or 3.3 minimum to have a good chance. some schools (drake university, ohio state, and maybe some others) have guaranteed admission programs that are really nice, you could look into those. id contact the admissions office or browse the website and see if you can find a class profile at the college you would like to attend, and get the actual numbers as they can vary greatly school to school

Definitely.  They would, however, have to make sure they meet all the college's requirements (standardized tests, recommendations, transcripts, etc.)  Some states even guaratee that a student who graduates in the top X% of their class will receive admission to one of the state's public universities.\n\nThen again, I had a 1510 SAT score, a 760 Math IIC, 750 Writing, 690 Chem, a 4.3 GPA (took all the honors classes my school offered) and activities (volunteered, Model UN club president, drum major) but didn't get in to any of my top choices (Stanford, MIT, Rice)...

it is a different system.  And for reasons I can't explain and don't fully understand, the UC system has a better reputation than the CalStates and are more difficult to be admitted to.  I must admit I don't understand the significance of the admission policy as I'm sure you can flunk out of a CalState just as quickly as a UC.  I only lived in California a year, but that was enough to know if you get into a UC that is "better" place for you to go than the others. In reality?  They are probably both pretty much the same.  (That so many people argue that this college or that one is "better" than all others makes me think they are ALL pretty much the same.)   But if you deal in reality when dealing with colleges, you've lost.  College is 90% image and 10% reality.  Those who don't realize the importance of this truth... save a ton of money. ;)

You contact them either by phone or email and ask them to send them to you.  If you need help with a simple problem like this though, what do you think your chances are of graduating even if somehow you do manage to get in ?

UC-Irvine?  Your grades are probably fine.  Do well on the SAT or ACT, write a good application and get good recommendations and you'll get in.\n\nTry for UCLA, though: way cooler school!

Depends how good you are in football. I think the California State University system would gladly take you if you're good, but you'll have to do community college before because you have a GED.

I recently applied so perhaps I know.  You should  have at least a 1200 SAT, a 1300 would be a lot better though.  You should probably have at least a 4.0 weighted GPA, lots of extracurrics and very competitive classes.  It is the second highest ranked public school in the nation so it is harder to get into.  For out-of-state acceptance, one needs like a 1400 or better SAT.  The scores do not include the writing section.  Also, two subject SAT tests are required.

I can tell you, its a good college. Probably a 3.2 or better to get in.

For admissions to Wayne State if you have lower than a 2.75 GPA (it has to be higher than 2.0 though!) you must have at least a 21 on the ACT. So right now I would say you are at the bottom of the pool. If you have some great letters of recommendation, a great essay, and have shown leadership in extra curriculars, that will help your chances of getting in (to any college/university). If you can't qualify to get in this year, you can always attend a community college for a year to give yourself a higher GPA and reapply next year. Study for the ACT... a higher score will increase your chances! Best of luck!

Well, I went into the University of California system, and I got accepted to UC Davis in aeronautical engineering.  I had around a 3.5 GPA.  I also got accepted to UC Santa Cruz and UC Riverside in computer science.\n\nIt's easier to get into a good school by going into a less popular major.  You can try to transfer out of that major later if you really don't like it, but no guarantees.  Computer science was a very popular major when I applied 5 years ago, and aeronautical engineering was not very popular.  I applied to UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Berkeley, but they didn't accept me for computer science.\n\nIt really depends on which major you choose and your grades.  3.0 is probably not good enough to get into a really good schools like MIT, the Ivy League, etc. regardless which major you choose.  \n\nCheck the average GPA that the college accepts.  Kids who get accepted to UCLA have near a 4.0.  UC Merced will take almost anyone since they are the newest school in the UC system.

Back in my days, a 1500 was good enough to get you anywhere, provided that you had the grades and extracurricular activities to back it up. Nowadays, a 1800 isn't even good enough to get into the most competitive schools. (Of course, the system is now out of 2400 points, lol).\n\nYou can definitely get into a lot of competitive state schools. Ivy leagues and technical schools (MIT, CIT) have a high chance of rejecting you, especially if your verbal and writing subscores are lower. Aeronautics at Cal Tech will definitely be difficult to pull off.  \n\nI know that in many public UC colleges, you can enter into the college with an major or even without a major. As long as you have high grades (3.6 and above, which is about the top 10% of the college), you should be able to switch in and out of any major, including aeronautics. Having to choose your major before getting into college is just a myth. The only benefits are getting a head start on your major, which is unlikely for Freshmen because they always start out with lower-division non-major classes.

Yes you can get admission in many colleges that would accept you. But it would not be  a top notch college. If you excel in some competition then it is ok.

Obviously, admission to any of these colleges is extremely competitive.  Right now, males have an advantage over females (because fewer qualified males apply).  People with legacies or nationally-recognized talent in sports or music have a decent chance of admission, but even they may not be successful.  \n\nFor a person with perfect grades and test scores, lots of community and school involvement, and plenty of volunteer service, getting in basically the luck of the draw.  Don't count on anything.  In the end, though, realize that you can be happy and successful anywhere.  (I know that may be hard to believe, but it's true.)

depends on what you're looking to do.  if you want to get into the technical fields (such as engineering or computer sciences), professional fields (such as law or medicine) or the business fields, you'd be better off going to one of the UC schools, if you can get in.  However, the UC system is a tough nut to crack the CSU schools are a great second choice.\n\nAs a group they don't rank the highest, but ranking only matters to people who care about them.  Unfortunately, people who are hiring in the job market care about them.

I would think that Illinois State would at least have a link to something in their web site. Enjoy your time here..
