<p>Is your gpa really a 2.86? That will reduce you chances of many colleges despite such a ACT/SAT score. I have never seen anyone like this. You may be able to make it into sonoma state and CSU East Bay.</p>

<p>According to these you are safe. CSU really look at your GPA, they dont consider SAT much. However thats a pretty good SAT score, so that could save you. I would recommend applying to a UC, and explain in your Personal Statement about your high school. It also depends what state you live in. </p>
<p>gee thanks </p>
<p>You need to calculate your CSU GPA as described here:
<a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Cal State Apply | CSU;
Then calculate your CSU eligibility index as described here:
<a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>https://secure.csumentor.edu/planning/high_school/elig_index_calculator.asp</a></p>
<p>CSUs may have different thresholds for admission by major, depending on whether the majors are impacted. If you apply to a non-impacted major at a non-impacted campus (e.g. East Bay for any major other than business or nursing), then you will be admitted with an eligibility index of 2900 (with SAT) or 694 (with ACT) if you are a California resident (3502 or 842 for non-residents). But at an impacted campus with impacted majors, the thresholds will be higher; see <a href=“http://info.sjsu.edu/static/admission/impaction.html”>http://info.sjsu.edu/static/admission/impaction.html</a> for San Jose.</p>
<p>According to <a href=“http://www.calstate.edu/sas/impactionsearch/”>http://www.calstate.edu/sas/impactionsearch/</a> , San Francisco and Sonoma are impacted at the campus level, and have some impacted majors.</p>
<p>@harmansingh is in incorrect in regards to the SAT. CSU’s use the SAT in their eligibility index calculation and like @ucbalumnus stated will determine their thresholds for admission. EI= (CSU GPA x 800) + (SAT Math + SAT CR).
SJSU: High Matach?Low Reach depending upon Major
Sonoma/San Francisco: Match
East Bay: Safety</p>
<p>The mismatch on your GPA vs test scores will be a concern for admissions.</p>
<p>@Gumbymom CSU dont require SAT. They also look at what high school you are coming from and the classes you have taken.</p>
<p>@harmansingh: Take a look at the CSU Mentor website for requirements. It does state if you have over a 3.0, test scores are not required but most campuses are impacted for many majors and test scores are used for calculating your EI index. Then schools will take the Highest EI for each major and accept students until all seats are filled. It is in your best interests to have SAT or ACT scores due to the competitive nature of all the Cal States.
From the CSU Mentor Website:::</p>
<p>Grades and Test Scores</p>
<p>The grades you earn in high school are the most important factor in CSU admission decisions. Your high school grade point average is calculated using your grades in all your college prep “a-g” classes completed after the 9th grade. </p>
<p>Test scores are required unless you have a grade point average above 3.0 and are a resident of California. The CSU uses a calculation called an eligibility index that combines your high school grade point average with the score you earn on either the SAT or ACT tests. Even if you have a GPA above 3.0, it is useful to take either an SAT or ACT as the score may indicate if you do not need to take English and math placement tests after you are admitted and before you enroll at the CSU. The eligibility index for out-of-state students is higher and admission requirements for international students are somewhat different. </p>
<p>While SAT/ACT test scores are not required to establish the admission eligibility of California residents with high school grade point averages of 3.00 or above (nonresidents 3.61 or above), impacted campuses and impacted first-time freshmen enrollment categories often include test scores among the supplemental criteria required of all applicants to those campuses and enrollment categories.</p>
<p>If you have your high school GPA and the results of your SAT or ACT test, then you can calculate your eligibility index. From there you can quickly see whether you meet the minimum admission standards. Remember, some campuses have higher standards for particular majors or those students who live outside the local campus area.</p>
<p>so are they matches or not</p>
<p>Hopefully, yes. I’d reccomend a second safety (already counting east bay) definetely. </p>
<p>thnxx</p>

<p>I think that you could get in all if your essay and recs are on point, I recommend that you get more safeties in the mix </p>
<p>@wildfactor: CSU’s do not accept essays. Their admissions are based on your CSU GPA and SAT?ACT…</p>
<p>well then research more schools that could be safeties </p>
