Hi everyone!
I’m an applicant for spring 2020 for Psychology with ADT. I applied in the fall but got denied admission 
Reapplied this semester
GPA: 3.06
ADT in Psychology from RCC
Non-local
Golden 4: AABC
63 transferrable units completed.
I have only 1 W.
I’m pretty nervous because I reapplied and I’m not sure I’ll be admitted this semester. I’m just hoping! I applied to CSULB also because it was the only other school I was interested in. Does anyone know the non-local gpa requirement? I’m from Riverside area. Thanks!!!
@cyn314 The cutoff is supposedly 3.4, but I know of people who are not from local areas which have gotten in with 3.0+ it just depends on who are the people applying and who you are competing against. For example, if a lot of transfers are applying with a GPA of 3.0 or 3.1, then you’re safe. But if everyone applying has a 3.5 or 3.6, then you might not be admitted. However, I did also hear you are more likely to get accepted during the spring because it is less competitive. Fewer people apply so its easier to get in
@Bezzuz Thank you so much for the info. I’m just nervous because if I don’t get in then i’ll just have to apply to other schools that are less competitive. I’m just hoping now!
I applied out of high school but didn’t get in, i went to mtsac and will be graduating after this semester. I didn’t get an email for my CWID and portal information, I think it was because i applied at CSUF out of high school and they gave me portal account at that time. Luckily I saved that information and i just had to reset my password to get in the portal and was able to see my application status, so far no decision made.
From last year’s thread, it looks like decisions started slowly rolling in on 9/20/18…
I received rejection notification today for Spring 2020. Out of area transfer student, 3.26 GPA and in process of Golden 4. I will be applying for Fall with ADT Studio Arts. CSUF is my first choice and I heard Fall is even harder. If 3.5 is the cut-off for out of area, then I will have to wait until after my Spring semester to hopefully bring GPA up, which will be Spring 2021 application. Is there a way to find out the reason for rejection, if it was due to GPA or not completing the last Golden 4? A transfer counselor at CSUF told me that Golden 4 MUST be completed and not doing so is automatic rejection, but I would like to know for sure. Any advice appreciated! Good luck to all!
@Sbinla in order for you to be eligible to apply for the spring. Your golden four had to be completed by the summer term. Therefore I don’t think it was your grades or application. I think you just got rejected because the golden four aren’t finished yet.
@k8champs Thank you so much!! And good luck to you too!

I haven’t heard anything nor have anything on my to-do list in my portal, but I still sent in my transcripts just in case… Has anyone done the same? Thanks and good luck !!
Hello, I’m a transfer student that apply to spring 2020 semester. I also applied for fall and was waitlisted until August but was denied at the end. I applied to cal state fullerton and long beach because they were the only ones with openings for psych majors.
Psychology major with ADT
Non local
GPA 3.08
So sorry you got rejected, @Sbinla - I definitely think it was merely due to not having your Golden 4 complete. I have not heard anything as of yet, negative or positive. Cal Poly Pomona is still silent as well. No changes in the portal.
Hi everyone! Looks like we should start getting answers soon… good luck!!
GPA: 3.18
Major: Psychology
Golden 4: Completed, A,A,B,B
Area: LA/OC (I went to OCC for one semester, but majority of my classes are from Santa Monica College - does anyone know if that is considered local?)
Other Schools applied: CSULB
I completed a substance abuse counseling program at UCLA extension, so I have a lot of behavioral health classes completed. Does anyone know if any of these will transfer? I calculated my GPA as if they will not, but I’m still curious if it may help with admission?
Hellllllo, I as well applied Fall 2019 and was waitlisted, then eventually got the rejection letter so I reapplied for Spring 2020.
Major: Psychology
ADT: Yes, from OCC
GPA: 3.1
Local: Costa Mesa, so neighboring city.
Golden 4: A,A,A,A
Hello, I got an email on friday from admisions asking for my transcripts. I think it could be a good sign because I also applied for fall 2019 and they never asked me for anything. I got waitlisted and eventually got rejected.
Has anyone else got the email asking for transcripts?
@stressed84 I just got asked for my ADT verification or proof that it’s in progress
@Stressed84 @sphinx7 I got an email from admissions saying that they got the verification from my CC that my ADT is in progress
