CSULB fall 2016 Transfer Students!

Major: Communication Studies
GPA: Currently have a 3.6 (Will finish Spring 2016 with a 3.7 fingers crossed plus a 0.1 AA-T bump so, hopefully a 3.8 by the time I finish)
AA-T: Summer 2016
Major Pre-reqs: Will be done by Spring 2016
Golden Four: Completed all but Math, which will be done over Summer 2016 (literally the only thing missing from the requirements)

When does acceptance letters come out?

If you’re a transfer student, decisions won’t be coming out until May 1st. High school applicants are receiving their admissions now.

What? May? Seriously? That’s such a long time from now, and at the same time a short window from May until the semester starts. Found out I got into CSULA almost immediately.

Why does CSULB take so long?

@HipHopReigns I was surprised at how fast I got accepted to CSULA. I’m not even in the area, and I got no formal email about it.
My bad, it says: “Admission decisions will be sent out BY May 1st.” which is super vague. You could hear back tomorrow, March 13th, or May 1st. First year students always find out first.

From CSULB transfer admissions section on their website

“Offers of admission are normally made in March for Fall admission and in October for Spring admission. All offers of admission will be provisional and subject to verification based on official transcripts. Admission offers may be withdrawn if the GPA, completed courses, or course grades are lower than what is reported or if you miss any admission deadlines. Please make sure to report accurate information!”

prettygirl132, I tried and couldn’t get in either. Just wait a week? Maybe we will get the official email and be able to from there.

I checked the status of my application and they said this. I guess I’m waitlisted but I don’t know what documents do they need me to submit.

The current status of your application:
You have been offered a place on our Admission Waitlist. You must submit the documents requested in order for us to confirm that you are eligible to remain on the waitlist. This is significant, as you could still be offered admission should a spot in our class become available and we are able to confirm your eligibility. Please remember that admission is not guaranteed so please continue to pursue a backup plan and check your email regularly for updates on your status.

I was wondering the same thing… I’m not too sure either. I was gonna maybe try calling them or something. I’m guessing it’s gonna say more once we actually get the email about it

I’ve had the same problem too with the portal activation, hopefully it’ll be up and going for us soon

Transfer student
Waitlisted for Psychology
Cumunaltive GPA of 3.5

I got accepted too. Transferring from Bay Area with GPA 3.47. Got accepted for international business.

Also, I was rejected for the Spring 2016 for Human Resources Management. I had the same GPA, but my last accounting class, and business info systems were in progress. I wrote an appeal, and it got denied. In admissions, they told me that my application didn’t look as good for such a competitive major.

Also was accepted into CPP, and waiting for SDSU. Not sure which one to attend, CPP or CSULB.
