CSU Chances/what schools?

Colleges and Universities A-Z California State University - GENERAL

Hey everyone,

I just calculated my CSU GPA and its looking around 3.2-3.3, with 8 honors points included as well. I know it’s not superb, but it’s what I have to work with. My current ACT is a 26, but I just took it again this past Saturday and will be taking it in October, so I expect it to go up a few points.

I’m also an OOS from Missouri but used to live in California. Extra info is my father qualifies me for the Cal-Vet waiver, so money isn’t an issue as schooling will be free after the first year. I was just curious to see what CSU’s would be a reach and match for me currently and what possibilities would open up granted my ACT goes up. Also, I am taking 3 SAT II subject tests in October and was curious if this will boost my app.

Oh and I’m interested in Marketing/IB for a major if that helps with anything

Thanks in advance an let me know what you all think!

My super scored ACT is also a 27 making my California EI 922 compared to an 880 before. I’m not sure if it makes any difference or not but just another tidbit of info.

Chico, SJSU, Fullerton and probably Long Beach are good targets. Sonoma, Sac and Northridge also have good biz programs and are worth a look.

CSU’s do not consider SAT 2 tests for admission unless you are using these for an a-g course requirement not taken in HS. @NCalRent gave you some target schools, but I think Long beach and Fullerton will be more of a Reach than Match. SDSU and Cal poly SLO would be High reach if interested in these 2 schools. I would add Cal poly Pomona as a Match school which is highly under rated for Business.
