<p>Hi there, </p>
<p>I am currently attending a CCC and I am applying this upcoming fall for Fall 2013 at Cal State Long Beach. As I'm sure everyone is aware, the CSU's are crazy impacted, especially Long Beach. I just want to know what my chances are of getting in. </p>
<p>I have 55 units completed with a 3.01 GPA and my major is Design and I just have to finish the History requirement and I'll be done with my Gen Ed and will get my associates degree. This upcoming year (2012-2013) I am taking the five pre req classes that I have for my major as have already done two of them ( I got A's in both). I also found out that I am eligible to do the Honor's Program at my college since I drastically improved my GPA, so the head of the program is willing to let me in. This means I have to take six honors classes to complete the program; but I won't be done until the end of the 2012-2013 school year which means Long Beach won't know if i completed the program. </p>
<p>I am concerned because my GPA is very low and it doesn't make me competitive. However, does it help that I will have all of my GE, major pre-reqs, and possibly completing my schools honors program? It's a bummer because I am literally 5-10 miles outside of Long Beach's radius for accepting local applicants :( </p>
<p>If anyone has any info that would be great. Thanks!</p>
<p>P.S. Also if anyone has info on other schools that offer Design as a B.A., that info would help me out too :)</p>
