The problem is I have a F in my second semester of spanish 1, and D's for spanish 2. Those are the only requirements I didn't meet, My counselor(i hate her) told me it was okay for CSU. I really don;t want to go to a cc and then transfer, but it's my last choice.

Thanks for reading and helping-__-

This is hard to tell. I hope you know that all the CSUs you applied to are impacted.
If you live near the San Francisco Area, you might a chance for SFSU. I don't want to be mean but your GPA is pretty low. CSUs don't care about EC (unfortunately)... hmm.
The F might hurt you a lot. I don't know about the vietnamese courses but I don't think you can use those. Sorry & good luck!

Oh no problems, Thanks for replying and dont be afraid to say my GPA is low. I really screwed up badly sophmore and junior year. I guess I thought that it was going to be a piece of cake and slacked off way too much. But thanks anyway for answering, I;m just wondering if I should apply to those schools anyway because I don't meet the Foreign Language requirement, and I quallify for application waivors.

take the SAT Subject Test. If you do, you can waive it. Did you take any other language classes? or do you think you're good in another language? (spanish, french, chinese...) You should try.

Also, apply to privates. you might have a shot. or just go to community colleges.
for CSUs, i recommend that you apply to CSU LA, Sacramento, San Marcos or San Bernardino. Those aren't impacted so you might have a chance.

Good Luck.
