It’s now mid March and I still haven’t heard from three of the CSU’s I’ve applied. Chico being one of them and they said it could possibly be not until mid April!! They have a “Choose Chico” day April 7. I worry about housing, because so many of these campuses have impacted housing. I’m thinking that maybe the CC thing is the way to go. I like to plan ahead and maybe I’m being a little ridiculous, but I thought I’d hear whether or not I’ve been accepted by now. Are my feelings normal???
It’s rolling. I think because of the new system (CSU Apply) - SAT/ACT scores have been delayed (for some odd reason if you used 3594) - some CSUs though.
your feelings are very normal and looking at a CC as an option may be a good way to satiate your need for progress while you wait… What are your stats and where else did you apply.
@NCalRent My GPA is 3.25 and SAT 1200. I got into Sonoma, declined from Cal Poly SLO, which I knew was a LONG shot. I’m still waiting to hear from Chico and Sacramento.
Assuming that’s you CSU GPA, you should get into Chico and Sac (unless you are applying for a super competitive program like Nursing).
Go to all 3 Admitted Student days and check them out.
@maddog00, if Sonoma State is the only school you get into, you could have done much worse. I’m familiar with SSU, Sact State, Chico State, and Cal Poly (FULL DISCLOSURE: I attended Chico and SSU, my wife graduated from Sac State, and my son is a freshman at Cal Poly).
We visited all of the schools for my son’s colleges search. Each has something special and different to offer and ANY of them can be a a great place to pursue your education. So can your local CC for that matter. It’s far more about your attitude and effort than it is about which CSU you attend.
Your feelings of anxiety are totally normal. But remember that you do have GOOD options already (SSU and CC). You don’t need to have ALL the options to make a good choice. Truth be told, that’s one of the hardest parts of the search–narrowing down the choices.
