Decision for my S21: Admitted

CSU GPA: 3.97
not sure on the Math GPA
Major: Computer Science
in-state, not local to CPP

HS course rigor (AP/IB/DE):
9 APs, 2 UC-eligible Honors 5.0 classes, and 8 community college classes (all transferrable). This includes his current classes in Senior year.
Total 29 years of A-G courses.

EC’s and any additional info:
Received invite for Kellogg Honors but not yet sure if he will apply, cause he already has a lot of GE credits

ECs: Robotics, Piano, Sports (2x national team member and won 1st place international competition), volunteer in sports and church. So his volunteer hours falls on the highest range of choices (I think it’s 20+ hours/week?), and major-related due to robotics.

No other special circumstances, not First Gen and not eligible for financial aid. No work experience.

Admitted: CPP, CSUF, CSULA, CSUSB, CSUN, CSUCI, CalLutheran, Univ of Pacific
Waitlisted: CSULB
Waiting for: SLO, SJSU, SDSU, 5 UCs

Most likely, he’ll accept admission from CPP.

Where are people getting their decisions? Portal? Can you say where in the portal, very specifically?

Thanks.

You can go on BroncoDirect (beta), click “New Students” on the left, and then “Application Status”.

Ok. Thanks. Yes, that’s where we’ve been looking and the status says “needs documents” but says none in “to-do’s.” And the “needs documents” is not clickable for more info.

For anyone seeing this, do you know the chances of getting off the waitlist? CPP was my number one choice for college and I’m just kind of down about this.

I also don’t know if CPP is looking at the math score for SAT due to engineering being an impacted major. Their website listed it as a supplement. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

No waitlist data for the last few years. Your chances depend upon how many admitted students decide not enroll by May 1.

My daughter’s portal was updated to this:
Admissions Denied, Application Redirected

Do you know what application redirected means?

Mine says the same as well, not sure what it means

I hope someone has some idea on this…
Waiting to hear from other CSUs-SJSU, SDSU and Cal Poly SLO

Perhaps this?
https://www2.calstate.edu/apply/redirection

I found this on the CPP website explaining all of the application statuses.

" Based on the self-reported information you supplied on your application, you have met the eligibility requirements for admission to the California State University. However, because our campus is impacted for first-time freshmen and upper division transfer students for [certain majors], your application has therefore been redirected to an alternate campus.

Please allow 2-3 weeks from the time you receive the official notification of redirection to hear from the campus in which your application has been redirected."

Basically, I believe your application was redirected to another Cal State Campus where programs are less impacted.

You can find the website explaining all of this by signing into Bronco direct and clicking on application status help on your application status page.

Thank you @guldms and @ucbalumnus
This helps for sure. Let’s see where she gets redirected when we get the email from them.
We are in California but not local to CPP so it will be interesting to see.
