Being totally unfamiliar with the admissions decision patterns for CSULB - does last week’s wave seem like an early admission wave? Or is that it for acceptances and wait lists and rejections come next? I know the folks here on CC are just a tiny fraction of the total pool - so, not sure what to think or be prepared for.
The Cal states do rolling decisions and they usually start with Higher Stats and Local In-service area applicants. They will continue with admits along with a mixture of waitlists and denials through March.
