<p>I am currently in my 2nd year of a CC and by Spring of 2011, I will be completed with my GE classes in all sections. I am applying to CSULB as a Information Systems major which falls under Business. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts, I was not able to complete 1 class that is a lower division class for CSULB. The class is Business-Calculus, Math 115 at CSULB.</p>
<p>I was wondering if CSULB will automatically deny my admission because I do not have that ONE class since it is a impacted major and CSULB is known to have a great overflow of applicants. If i don't get in, I will be at a CC for 1 year and it would be a waste because I would only need to take 1 class.</p>
<p>I think they will be very strict. They want all pre-requisites completed before acceptance. Can’t you take it in the spring? Or take it at a different CC, or at a private college, maybe online? It could be worth the investment. (but check that CSU Long Beach will accept online courses).</p>
<p>One more idea: How about applying as a Business Economics major? That’s in the College of Liberal Arts, not the business school, and it’s not impacted. Check it out. Not sure if CSULB lets you have a second choice major on the application as a transfer student, but if they do, perhaps that could work also. The course you haven’t taken is still a pre-requisite, but since that major is not impacted, maybe there is some leeway there. Try to talk with someone in admissions and someone in the Business Economics program. Good luck!</p>
