California State University- Los Angeles

Los Angeles California has a population of close to ten million people. There is something for everyone to enjoy in this city. It's close to the ocean, and has great shopping and food. Everyday you will be able to find something new to do!

California State University, Los Angeles, is a great school with so much opportunity. It is a fairly easy school to get into, although they have a very complicating way of doing it. Multiply your GPA by 200, and your ACT composite score by 10. If that number is above 842 you qualify. If you have a GPA of 3.61 or above, you do not need to have an ACT score. Graduating high school, and completing the normal high school requirements, is the only other requirements for CSULA. It's defiantly a little expensive at 28,141 dollars a year for tuition and fees. For sports they are the Golden Eagles. They only offer 4 sports for guys, but 7 for women. Overall it looks like an ok school to go to.

The University of Wisconsin, is located in the city of Madison. Madison is the capitol of Wisconsin, and is the perfect college town. There are just over 230,000 people that live in Madison, but it doesn't feel like a big town. There is so much to see and experience in this city. There are many outdoor activities such as biking trails and parks. Madison is surrounded by lakes that offer good fishing, and swimming in the hot summer months. They have a great zoo to go to, and many museums to tour. Downtown, you will find the streets lined with stores and great places to eat. Madison is a wonderful town to live in.

You must also get a 27 on the ACT, and they do require the writing test. The cost for nonresidents is very pricey at 41,000 a year for tuition and fees. UWM offers over 100 different majors to choose from, and the majors are separated into nine different schools, but there are only four pre-professional programs. There is every club and organization imaginable to become involved with.
