public four Year colleges, the following schools are still accepting

Bernadino, San Francisco, San Jose, Sonoma, and Stanislaus.  Not all
majors are open at these campuses. If you need help with your

SENDING TEST SCORES:

8. If you are finished taking SAT's and /or ACT's and haven't told
College Board or ACT to send your test scores each UC and Cal State
campus where you are applying, do so ASAP.  To send your SAT scores to
Cal State campuses, use the code 3594 (CSU Mentor) and you will only
have to pay once to make your scores available to each Cal State
campus.  This service is not available through ACT.

9. If you're taking the SAT and/or the ACT in December, make sure that
you have listed all of the UC's and CSU's on your registration form
(you can use the code 3594 to send all of your SAT scores to each CSU
campus) so that they will receive your scores.  If you wait until you
get your scores and then tell the testing agency to send them, it will
be too late.
