Hi! Excited to apply soon to the following Cal State schools. Reaches? Matches? Safeties?
In state, none are local, EI 4368, not a STEM major.
SDSU, CSULB, CS San Marcos, Sonoma State, Chico State
Thank you!
What major?
SDSU/CSULB: Match
CSUSM/Sonoma State: Safety
Chico State: Low Match
Thank you @Gumbymom ! SDSU Undeclared, the rest Liberal Studies. Can I ask a silly question? What exactly does Match and Low match mean?
Match: 55-70% chance for an acceptance
Low Match: 75-85% chance for an acceptance
Safety: >90% chance for an acceptance
High Match: 50/50 Chance for an acceptance
Low Reach: 35-45% Chance for an acceptance
Reach: <30% Chance for an acceptance
High Reach: <10% Chance for acceptance
With Cal states it really depends upon the stats for each in-coming Freshman class and how you compare. For SDSU/CSULB all majors are impacted including Undeclared so pick the major you are most interested in studying.
Thank you @Gumbymom !
i think you will get into all of them.
good luck
@NCalRent Can I just say your my favorite person right now? LOL! Thank you for your input and well wishes! Hopefully admissions feels the same way you do! Cheers!
Feel like I need to clarify: Posting for my D. 
with a 4300+ EI, you should sail into all the schools on your list.
good luck
Thank you so much @NCalRent ! I told my daughter that at this point it just depends on the competition applying to these schools this year in her major. Every year is different, and that is out of her control…so she’ll just kick back and see what happens when decisions come out in Feb./March! Thank you for your advice and well wishes!!!
that is a great perspective.
with her stats, be sure to look into the honors programs at many of the CSUs - I am most familiar with Chico - where my son participate in the program for a couple of years. She should qualify for all of the ones shes interested in. They typically include smaller GE classes with more focused students and a more conceptual framework, offer segregated housing and, my favorite perk, priority registration = which can be a BIG deal on crowded campuses like LB.
Thank you again @NCalRent for all your insight! We really appreciate it!!
