i know this is a really sensitive subject (everyone is so tense around college admission/choosing time)
but its best to make sure you know what you are talking about before you start going off on the colleges

the csu's have a formula that they use for admissions that they will happily provide to you. it uses your sat or act scores and your gpa, because there is no place on the application for activities or essays. the formula places you on a list and thats how they choose who gets in.

also, the UC's are state universities too and the higher ranked ones (ucla, ucsb, ucsd) are rejecting larger amounts also

a 21 on the ACT is equivalent to a 980-1010 on the SAT

the 61 million dollar wellness center is almost definitely being paid for by donations and/or it was started WAY before the budget cuts, so don't get angry at it
