<p>San Diego State is my reach school. I don't think my parents can afford any UC so I really want to go to SDSU.</p>
<p>My SAT combined math and reading is 1160 (660 math, 500 reading) and my cumulative gpa is a 3.53 at the end of junior year. Do you think there's a chance of me getting in?</p>
<p>Have you looked at financial aid? If your income is <50k, cal grant and pell grants could take most of the costs at the UCs off of your hand.</p>
<p>No I haven’t, its not so much like that. its that 2 years after i go to college, my bro gos to college then 2 years later my sister does and they cant afford for all of us to go to UC’s. my parents make over 50k a year.</p>
<p>humm, what about considering city college for 2 years, then transfer into UC?
Sorry… I really do not like the CSU school system, Honestly, its better to just go into city college and then getting a guaranteed transfer (if you just keep your GPA decent)</p>
<p>But if you really what SDSU, then i think you have a decent shot, but I’m not that familiar with the CSU admission system, so don’t take my word for it.</p>
<p>i REALLY do not want to go on the community college route, in fact i’m not going to period. I want a 4 year college experience away from home. </p>
<p>basically here are the schools i’m interested in as of right now</p>
<p>Reach - SDSU
in between or I just don’t know enough about - long beach, sonoma
Fall - Chico</p>
<p>bump?
10 char</p>
<p>I think your looking good for Long Beach and Sonoma…
i did a report on long beach and they offer alot of financial aid (at least thats what they said.)</p>
<p>can you please chance me?

<p>yahh i think im fine for my back ups but i just really want to know about sdsu cause i think im borderline. and i would chance you… but i have NO idea about this kinda stuff. thats why i came on here haha</p>
<p>While your CR score is only average, or a little less, for SDSU, your Math score is well above average for that school so I think SDSU is a very low reach for you, if it is even a reach at all, particularly if you plan to major in a quantitatively oriented discipline.</p>
<p>yah thats what i was thinking also but who knows if they would even notice that because of the eligibility index. by low reach you mean I could probably get in? or its out of range for me.</p>
<p>I think it is very likely that you will be accepted but nothing is guaranteed in college admissions. The only I problem I see is how highly automated the CSU admission process is with the elegibility criteria that you mentioned. If they just stick your CR plus Math total score into a formula and compare you with all other applicants regardless of intended major it would be, as I think you fear, less advantageous for you than if they considered your CR and Math scores seperately and compared you with applicants intending to major in science or engineering.</p>
<p>I think it is very likely that you will be accepted but nothing is guaranteed in college admissions.</p>
<p>alright thats what I thought you meant. and thank you for the opinion!</p>
<p>Good chance, great chance if you live in their service area.</p>
<p>i live northern california so I dont think that would be considered their service area :/</p>
<p>any more thoughts?</p>
