Chances at a transfer to CSULB? (English: Creative Writing)

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Good afternoon all!</p>

<p>Here's the scoop:</p>

<p>I have a 3.3 Community College GPA and have completed my GE requirements for CSULB. I do understand that my GPA isn't one of the best (I previously had a 3.5 my first semester, however due to my suddenly busy life and illness, it quickly fell to a 3.3), however since English: Creative Writing is not an impacted major, I was curious if I still stood a decent chance. </p>

<p>I live in Southern California (the desert, to be precise), however I plan to move to Long Beach by the end of this year, which is another reason why CSULB is at the top of my list. </p>

<p>I have taken every Honors English class available at my Community College. </p>

<p>Would having an A.A. better my chances instead of just having the units?</p>

<p>Perhaps there are other Universities which offer a similar or better program for this major that you can suggest? Please keep my GPA in mind!</p>

<p>Many thanks,
Amber</p>

<p>I suppose that I should also include my extracurricular activities, even though I believe that CSU’s don’t necessarily care about those.</p>

<p>-Worked on my grandparent’s farm for 3 years (during college)
-Volunteer Animal Shelter Aide/Foster Parent (50 hours)
-Volunteer High School Teacher’s Aide (roughly 60 hours)
-Volunteer tutor (35 hours)</p>

<p>It doesn’t add up to be nearly as much as what other students have, but I did it for personal reasons, not to get into a University. :)</p>

<p>Anyone have any idea? :slight_smile: I know that it is a CSU, but CSULB is becoming more and more competitive (at least, so I thought).</p>
