I understand that California schools have their own entrance exams. Is there
a web site to get information. Are private schools in this program? How does
it relate to SAT's ands ACT? |

The University of California uses SAT-I and SAT-II exams, as well as
grades and other criteria, for admissions decisions.
California State University uses the SAT-I.
Community colleges in California do not use any examinations for
admission, so far as I know (I've not looked into it).
Private colleges do what they want, but generally the more selective
ones use SAT-I and SAT-II, while the less selective ones use SAT-I
only.
Generally ACT can be substituted for SAT-I.
No California (or U.S.) college that I know of has its own admissions
exam, except for a few specialized schools such as conservatories.
Many colleges have placement exams for admitted students. People who
fail the exams have to take remedial instruction. The exams vary from
college to college, but are never a factor in admission. This is
probably the source of your story about "California schools" having
"their own entrance exams."
For details and more authoritative information, visit the schools' own
web sites, which you can easily find with Google or another search
engine. Or visit
http://www.ucop.edu/pathways/
for the University of California
or
http://www.csumentor.edu
for California State University.
Due to the current California budget crisis, admissions may be
abnormal in the next couple of years. Recently many Cal State
campuses imposed extraordinarily early application deadlines, and
U.C. has diverted many admitted students to community colleges. Even
in the best of times, admitted students often find that they cannot
take the classes they need. |
