Does UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC or Stanford offer Psychology courses?

Answer 1

They all do, and they are all great schools. :)

Answer 2

Is there a specific reason why you want to go to the schools you listed above? If money isn't the issue, the merit of trying to get into Cal or LA is low. Especially with the current CA financial crisis, I would suggest you to look for east coast. Your GPA, to tell you the truth, would make your application very difficult to compete with others, regardless of whether you lived in another country that has no american high school. Some may say to try other UC schools, but technically, with that GPA alone, the school you can aim would be CSU. Since you already are well aware that the chances are low and what you expect to receive is any alternative plan to get into one of the high, prestigious schools, I will focus on pointing out few cases. 1. Find something extraordinary from the place you live, and write a personal statement based on your experiences of that extraordinary. Something that's not common in here or among the students in the United States. 2. Make yourself unique in your application. For example, one of my friend who's white and has no relationship with any Chinese, wrote her essay in Chinese (self-learned), and got into all the schools including Yale and Stanford. (P.S. UC schools specifically instruct to write in English I believe). 3. Start making connection with the faculties of the major you want to work with. This usually works for grad school, but it sometimes works for undergrad too. 4. Get a stellar score in SAT (above 90th percentile nationwide). This is the best way to defend your academic weakness. Usually, ACT is generally easier. 5. Schools such as Yale and few other ivy leagues DO receive financial gift in exchange of admission. If your parents have ivy connection or history, this would work too. IF you really really really want to go to one of the schools above and don't want to spend too much money, the highest chance would be going to admission guarantee program of a community college then transfer to UCLA. This does NOT require SAT, but requires you to diligently take and get good grades in community college courses.
