Threshold scores for fall 2021 frosh admission are now posted here:
The point values are based on the calculation described here:
CS was the most competitive major, with a 3400 threshold score. This is equivalent to a 4.25 recalculated HS GPA, or a slightly lower GPA with some bonus points for local area, fee waiver eligibility, military status, or first generation to college.
Animation required a 3200 threshold score, equivalent to a 4.00 recalculated HS GPA, or a slightly lower GPA with some bonus points.
However, many majors required a 2000 threshold score, equivalent to a 2.50 recalculated HS GPA, the minimum for CSU eligibility for California residents. Many others had intermediate threshold scores.
Note: the higher threshold scores for majors marked with a * reflect the added 400 * (math HS GPA) for those majors only.
