<p>ANY chances? for CP student?
What are my chances to get into any California state university like Cal-State Los Angeles, Cal-State Dominguez Hills, Fullerton, and ect. </p>
<p>If I</p>
<p>have a 3.12 average GPA
scored a 1290/2400 on SAT
go to one of the top schools in California
only took CP classes</p>
<p>you have no chance. a 3.12 does not get weighted, and is not good, and that SAT score really sucks.</p>
<p>That SAT score is really low. even for the CSUs.</p>
<p>I don’t think you have to submit an SAT score at CSU’s if you have above a 3.0. You will definitely get into some and your best shot is the one whose ‘service area’ you live in.</p>
<p>Assuming that:</p>
<ul>
<li>You’re a California resident</li>
<li>You will have met all of the UC/CSU A-G requirements before you graduate</li>
<li>The 3.12 GPA is your UC/CSU GPA (based on 10 &11 grades in A-G subjects)</li>
<li>You are applying to a major that is not impacted on these campuses</li>
<li>You apply before individual campus deadlines, and as early as possible after October 1</li>
</ul>
<p>You should:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Have a good shot at Cal State LA and Dominguez Hills, and many of the other Cal States. The majority of the Cal States do not consider test scores for most in-state applicants who have a 3.0 or higher UC/CSU GPA. There are, however, some impacted programs at individual Cal States that do still consider test scores for students applying to those programs. I’d suggest you check out the list of impacted programs at these schools at [CSUMentor[/url</a>] I’ve had students of mine get into Cal State LA with 2.5 UC/CSU GPAs and test scores similar to yours (but again, impacted programs can be tougher)</p></li>
<li><p>Your chances at the more competitive Cal States like Fullerton, Long Beach, San Diego State, and Cal Poly are more problematic. These schools do consider test scores for all applicants, regardless of GPA. HOWEVER, if your high school is in the “service area” for one of these schools, your chances will be better. In general, Cal States take the majority of students in their service area who have a 3.0 or above. There are exceptions, of course, especially for those impacted majors. I’d recommend meeting with your school counselor to identify the Cal State(s) service area your high school is in, and how students with GPAs similar to yours have fared in the past from your high school.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>You can boost your chances a bit at most of the Cal States by making sure you apply as soon as possible after October 1 as many of the Cal States use rolling admissions. For many of the Cal States (including LA), that will generally get you an answer back in as little as three weeks, so you can “lock in” a safe bet you like, while waiting to hear from the more selective Cal States later in the year.</p>
<p>If you are from a low income background, and will be the first in your family to attend college, I would also suggest that you take full advantage of EOP (Educational Opportunities Program) at the campuses you’re applying to. If you are eligible to apply under EOP, you can provide additional information to the admissions committee to help build your case for admission. This can make a difference at all of the Cal States, even the highly selective ones. Additionally, students admitted under EOP get some extra benefits in terms of financial aid, support services, etc. You can learn more about EOP on the <a href=“http://www.csumentor.edu%5B/url%5D”>www.csumentor.edu](<a href=“http://www.csumentor.edu%5DCSUMentor%5B/url”>http://www.csumentor.edu)</a> site and from your school counselor. If you qualify, it is definitely worth taking advantage of this program if you’re applying to the Cal States.</p>
<p>Overall though, I want to assure you DO indeed have a good shot of getting admitted to many of the Cal States, assuming that my assumptions at the start of this post are correct, and you are not applying to highly impacted programs at all of the campuses. But, do make sure to get your applications in early!</p>
