I am a freshman applicant and i signed on my portal. On it, it said that I was denied due to not being from the local area. I am really confused because my GPA and SAT/ACT scores are higher than their average. Plus, I’ve gotten into SDSU, UCR, UCM, and CSUMB, which are way more tougher to get into than Northridge.
CSUN will not accept any Freshman outside local in-service area, off their website:
For Fall 2015 admission, California State University, Northridge will admit all CSU-eligible first-time freshman applicants who graduate from high schools inside its local admission area (Tier 1).
New! California State University, Northridge regrets not being able to accept first-time freshman applicants graduating from high schools outside the local admission area (Tier 2) for Fall 2015 admission due to the high number of eligible applicants graduating from schools in the local admission area.
@CJGuerrero21: You have been accepted to some very good schools so be happy you have some very good choices. Good Luck.
Thank You but is the school really that impacted? I’m just really confused due to the fact that they did not put this when I was applying.
There was an article in the LA times at the end of November that some Cal States were planning to possibly limit Freshman admissions to local in-service area applicants, but I believe the decision was made by CSUN in Early March.
Well I’m still slightly upset since it was supposed to be a safety school, But thank you for the information!
They should refund those app fees then!
Exactly! If anything they didn’t tell non local applicants that they weren’t eligible for admission just to make their acceptance rate look selective.
We did an official tour and info session in Feb and no one said anything about not taking apps from out of area - and they knew where we were from because they asked. I guess if they decided in Mar, maybe they didn’t know yet.
It seems to have been a very late decision. I don’t know if it was poor planning or what.
Does it actually say denied admission? Or does it say “Withhold Completion?” That’s what my son’s says.
It says my application has been denied due to the high number of acceptances in the local area and them not accepting applicants from other areas.
