Answer 1 :
You could get into Occidental College or a smaller UC. San Diego state is a large possibility but I am not so sure about UCLA and USC. UCLA is for the top kids and most spots are reserved for California residents. USC is for extremely rich kids, tuition and everything is costly and you would have to go against the richest and top kids in California. I say give San Diego State or UC: Santa Barbara a try.
Answer 2 :
Well, there are other colleges in California besides USC and UCLA, two of the hardest schools to gain admittance to. Considering your GPA and ACT score, I would say that your chances for gaining admission to either of these schools is very slim, since the average GPA is close to a 4.0, and even many students with a 4.0+ are rejected since other factors are taken into account as well (involvement, personal statements, etc). Consider other schools if you'd like to come to California - we have plenty that will take you with good pharmacy programs! Good luck with your college search!
Answer 3 :
It will be very hard for you to get into UCLA becuase you are not a california resident. Also, for out of state students for both USC and UCLA, you have to get a higher gpa and try to get over a 30 on the ACT. Good luck.
