(Publicity Hogg)
Some state colleges in California are apparently not impressed by the Parkland high school shooting survivor who helped become a voice for a global gun control movement.
David Hogg, 17, has so far been rejected by four University of California campuses UCLA, UCSD, UCSB and UC Irvine, he told TMZ.
According to the UC site, a minimum 3.4 GPA is required for non-California residents to get in. The Florida teen has a 4.2 GPA and an SAT score of 1270.
Hes been accepted to Cal State San Marcos and Cal Poly, and in his home state, Florida Atlantic University but hes not yet sure what hell do after graduating, he said.
At this point, were already changing the world, Hogg, a senior at Stoneman Douglas High School, told the outlet. If colleges want to support us in that, great, if they dont, it doesnt matter, were still going to change the world.
Theres a lot of amazing people that dont get into college, he added.
Hogg says fellow student activist Ryan Deitsch also got rejected from the University of California system. Emma Gonzalez will be going to the liberal arts school New College of Florida.
For the time being, Hogg doesnt know where hell end up after graduation.
At this point, Im probably going to take a gap year and Im sure Ill eventually find the right place for me, he told Axios. Right now Im more focused on changing the world and the future of America.

Hogg is having his day in the publicity spotlight, but like Sandra Fluck he'll soon be forgotten.
