I do not see a section for CSU San Marcos. My S20 has applied so I want to open a thread for others to discuss their application status for those applying as new freshman or transfers for Fall 2020. Once admission decisions start being released for San Marcos, it would be great for people to share in this format:
Also applied: SJSU, SFSU, CSUN, CSULB, CSUF, SDSU. UO
Not entirely surprised that I was accepted for my alternate but albeit I am pleased. Solid match school for me but definitely hoping to hear some good news from my top choices (SDSU, UO, CSULB)
What is the general time table to hear back from csusm? I’m surprised so many have gotten acceptances already but maybe it’s different for freshman vs transfer?
My dd applied as a junior transfer for the AMD degree ( art media design) and has a 4.0 from MiraCosta so we are local. Haven’t heard anything yet.
Her friend who applied as a transfer for environmental studies and has a 2.9 gpa got his acceptance 1/10.
@crossman: I think the decision timeline for both Freshmen and Transfers is dependent upon local vs. non-local and major. My niece, a prospective Freshman non-local has not gotten a decision however several of her classmates have been accepted. Only difference is that she has applied to an impacted major while her classmates did not.
I applied to CSUSM as a transfer for fall 2020 I wonder if anyone else here is a transfer waiting for the decision!
ADT: yes
Major: Psychology (Psychological Sciences major at CSUSM)
GPA: 2.89 i know it’s low but I really wanna stay in SD
Non-Local: I don’t think City College is considered local area
I applied last year to SDSU and didn’t get in but they redirected my application to Bakersfield and I got accepted. For some reason I didn’t turn in paperwork for CSUSM on time and they rejected my application for incomplete paperwork.
Quick question to the CSUSM crowd: What is the perception of Cal State San Marcos?
We live in Nor Cal (Sacramento area) and my daughter and I visited last Spring based on the recommendation of a colleague. I thought it was a beautiful campus in a seemingly safe medium-sized city. I know it is a commuter school, but there are on-campus living options and a new dining hall. It’s a CSU, so it has a certain level of credibility academically.
What I’m really looking for is the perception that (local/regional) employers, grad schools, and the general public have of the graduates. I know it is not a “high” status name, especially in Nor Cal where most people don’t even know it exists. However, I really liked the school and I think there are those who value its academic offerings. Any opinions or insights are appreciated.
