<p>Well I applied to many cal states and I am very skeptical about getting in to even one of them.
I have a 2.32 unweighted GPA and a 1760 on my SAT.
Here are the schools that I applied to..
CSU San Marcos
San Francisco State
San Jose State
CSU Northridge
CSU Los Angeles
CP San Luis Obispo
CP Pomona
Sacramento State</p>
<p>Can you guys tell me what my chances are?</p>
<p>bump! please chance me !</p>
<p>bump number two… cmon help a brotha outtt!!</p>
<p>Are you in the local service area for any of those schools? What was your CR+M SAT score (exclude writing)? Calculate your eligibility index (formula on CSUMentor), then you will have a better idea.</p>
<p>Only for CSULA. It’s 1100. Also do you know if any of these schools take super score?</p>
<p>You made the minimum eligibility index score with your GPA and SAT, but just barely. CSULA may be your best bet, but you can see what comes of your other applications. BTW, CSU’s unfortunately do not superscore.</p>
<p>Oh alright. =\ I really want to get into SFSU and CSUN</p>
<p>SJSU severely impacted currently. Priority given to locals first.</p>
<p>CSUs only consider your Critical Reading and Math scores on the SAT, they do not count the writing so in order to evaluate your chances it is important to know what your CR+M scores are. I do not believe CSUs superscore.</p>
<p>Average SAT scores (CR+M) and high school GPAs needed for acceptance to CSUs have gone up substantially in the last year or two. Greater competition at the UCs have pushed a lot of strong applicants into the pool of students seeking admittance to CSUs which have had, at the same time, to cut the number of students they accept. A number of CSUs have stopped or greatly reduced giving preference to applicants in their service areas and many have also abondoned their policies of guaranteeing admission to all applicants who meet minimum state requirements for eligibility for CSU admission and are instead instituting considerably higher standards for admission. Essentially, the days of guaranteed admission to a CSU if you meet the state’s minimum requirements are over and the days of having to compete with your peers for the limited number of CSU spots has begun. For the first time there will be CSU applicants who are technically eligible for admission to a CSU but will not receive any offers of admission from one.</p>
<p>Fall 2011 SJSU Impaction
[SJSU</a> Admission](<a href=“http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/narr/admission/rec-1221.html]SJSU”>http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/narr/admission/rec-1221.html)</p>
<p>"SJSU receives applications from more eligible students than there is space for, thus meeting the minimum requirements may not be sufficient to gain you admission, especially to your first choice major.</p>
<p>Effective Fall 2011, admission will be based on several factors:</p>
<ol>
<li>Local and non-local classification</li>
<li>Academic qualifications"</li>
</ol>
<p>Check the pdf at the bottom for details:
'Local and non-local students
Local applicants are students who will graduate from a Santa Clara county high school.</p>
<p>Local applicants are guaranteed admission provided they apply by 11:59 PST on November 30, 2010, comply with all posted deadlines and meet CSU eligibility requirements. </p>
<p>CSU-eligibile local applicants who are not accommodated in their preferred majors will be offered admission as Undeclared majors.</p>
<p>Non-local applicants are students who will graduate from a high school located outside of Santa Clara county.</p>
<p>Admission is offered to non-local applicants based on the overall space available in their major.</p>
<p>Non-residents of California and international applicants must meet a higher minimum standard, regardless of major. See info.sjsu.edu for details."</p>
<p>Based on a quick google, I expect you will find similar at other schools (though not all schools).</p>
<p>side note
Based on on-campus experience at SJSU I cannot confirm that this impaction has led to an increase in incoming student academic quality. I wish I could. Instructors have become much more vocal this past semester complaining about the exact opposite, and blaming the local service area restriction for the decrease in academic quality. </p>
<p>It would be nice if something good could come out of the budgetary insanity in the Cal college system.</p>
