<p>Hello, I currently go to UC Irvine for Electrical engineering. I am about to graduate in June. When i applied to CSULB, my gpa was a 2.9 but now it's a 3.01. My GRE scores are around average (Verbal: 147, Quant: 159, Writing: 4.0 on the revised test). I did do some research and mentioned it on the Statement of Purpose. According to the advisor, letters of rec are not needed so I didn't get any. What are my chances of getting into CSULB?</p>
<p>I applied around March and so far I've gotten neither an acceptance nor a rejection. I have also emailed the engineering graduate advisor a few times and haven't gotten an answer. This whole situation is making me nervous!</p>
<p>You should make a telephone call to the Office of Graduate Admissions at CSULB and talk to somebody there about your situation. I know that CSULB receives a huge number of applications and has a small admissions staff but it is the middle of May and they owe you an answer whether or not it is an acceptance or rejection.</p>
<p>I don’t know what CSULB’s admissions standards are, but 159 on the quantitative section is not average for an engineer. Average is going to be in the mid 160’s or higher.</p>
<p>At any rate, what was their official date they cited in which they would make admissions decisions? Don’t call them if that date hasn’t passed yet. I thought it was usually around mid-May so it may be that they are just sending them out this week or something.</p>
<p>well i couldn’t find any date that says they will make decisions by. it does say that application deadline is may 15th so i am thinking it may be after that. but i think i have heard people from other engineer majors being accepted. so you guys think i should still call?</p>
<p>the GRE score isn’t really important as they said it’s not required from what the advisor told me</p>
<p>You should drop by and ask. CSULB’s admission is a joke in my opinion.
When I went to CSULB, they didn’t even ask me for a GRE as long as you have above 3.0.</p>
