I know more about the transfer admissions process, and I know that major choice plays a significant role there, but I don’t think it’s quite as relevant for freshman applicants.

Since you’re not looking at a technical major, if you really want to attend Cal or UCLA you should consider doing community college for two years. It’s like starting over–your high school GPA and test scores won’t even be considered. That said, a private really might be your best option.

BTW… I’m just curious: what do you mean by “African American immigrant?”

1. Black and an immigrant (using African American as a synonym for black)

2. African by birth and an immigrant to America

3. Have one African parent and one American parent and was born abroad

…or something else?
