Chances at some CSUs

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm a junior, I have a 2.6 GPA, so its a bit low, but I still have 2 more semester to bring it up around a 2.8. I go to one of the top catholic schools in San Francisco. My PSAt was pretty high at a 198. I'll be taking both the ACT and SAT.</p>

<p>So, I got kind of screwed with classes in my frosh year so my classes are a bit weak i guess.</p>

<p>Heres my senior class schedule:</p>

<p>English 4 (4th Year)
History (3rd Year)
Spanish 3 (3rd Year)
Algebra 2 (3rd Year) Took Algebra in 8th grade and recieved a C+, then B-, then got forced into Intro ALG in 9nth, whatever.
Physiology</p>

<p>I decided to take physio since I am into that and am a certified personal trainer at a gym. So what are my chances of I get an ACT score at around 25 and SAT at around 2000?</p>

<p>I'll be applying to:</p>

<p>SDSU
Chico
ASU
LBSU
SFSU
USF
Sac ST</p>

<p>Then possibly some UCs like Riverside, I'd like to apply to Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara but I don't think I've got enough to get in.</p>

<p>if your SAT is 2000, thats wayyyyy better than a 25 on the ACT...and im pretty sure you are required to have above a 3.0 for CSU's to consider you, so you better work hard this semester</p>

<p>I dont really know enough about the schools to chance you though</p>

3

<p>No, I believe its a 2.5 for CSU and Uc's.</p>

4

<p>I just checked the UC website, the minimum requirement is 3.0</p>

<p>And I checked CSU's, you only need a 2.0 I guess, but still, you defnitely want to have a GPA above 3.0, especially for SDSU</p>

5

<p>CSU's you need at least a 18 on the ACT or 820 (out of 1600 I think) on the SAT for consideration. For the UC's you need at least a 3.0 (And I think that is at the time that you apply)</p>

6

<p>You should be able to get into Chico. My friend had a 2.8 and not great SAT scores and got in there and some of the other Cal. States. Keep up the grades -- if you get a 3.0 your in no matter what your SAT or ACT is for most of the Cal. States.</p>

7

<p>you will almost certainly get into SFSU its really easy</p>

<p>With a high SAT score, (like anything at 1800 or above):</p>

<p>SDSU--reach
Chico--match
ASU--slight reach
LBSU--match
SFSU--safe match to match
USF--match to slight reach
Sac ST--match</p>

<p>With a 2000 on the SAT, I would expect you to be accepted at all of these schools.</p>

<p>You should also consider Sonoma State or Fullerton State--Sonoma in particular is a really good school.</p>

<p>P.S. I went to CSULB even though I was also accepted to Brown, then I went on to UCLA to get my MBA, so just work hard and you'll be very successful in life--and don't let the slightly lower 2.5 GPA bother you. (Even Steven Spielberg went to CSULB when he was rejected from USC and UCLA--and I think he's done quite nicely).</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>csulb is not a match when chico is also.... csulb much more difficult to gain admission to than chico.</p>

10

<p>Ya but with a good SAT score I could get into either, with above an 1800 score Chico could possibly be a match slight safety. Also, I want to major in some type of business, will that hurt my chances if i apply to somewhere like San Diego State? Also, for the reaches and matches. Whats the percen that I'll get in, are matches just somewhere over 50%?</p>

11

<p>Allright, I think I'll be applying to Oregon U also. They hve some Warsaw sports MBA thing? I'll have to look into it.</p>
