I know Fullerton is pretty impacted, so I was wondering what were the possibility of me getting into Fullerton with barely a 2.0 or higher.
What are some things I can do to increase my chances? I relatively come from a low income family and a majority of that was the reason for my low grades, loaded with work at my job to help pay for bills.
Will there be a way for me to explain my situation on the CSU application?
How about the EOP Program? Will joining it help show that I needed the extra help?
No way to explain your financial/family circumstances on the Cal State Apply application since essays are not part of the admission process. Any GPA under a 3.0 for impacted campus will be a very tough admit. What you can do is retake any classes you received and D or F and also look at academic renewal at your campus. I would also suggest you lower your sights and apply to some non-impacted campuses for your major such as Channel Islands, East Bay, Dominguez Hills, Bakersfield, San Bernardino, Chico, Northridge, Sac State and Stanislaus.
