• Private and Out-of-State Universities
    Admissions requirements at private and out-of-state universities typically fall within four categories:
    • Schools with requirements similar to those of UCs,
    • Schools with requirements similar to those of Cal States,
    • Schools accepting only the world's top students,
    • Schools with exceptionally specific requirements related to special areas of study (such as culinary arts or visual and performing arts).
    Be sure to visit the Web sites and contact the admissions officials at each of the private and out-of-state universities to which you plan to apply in order to determine all necessary admissions requirements and deadlines.
