<p>HIII~
does anyone know if csu's look at student's rigorous class schedule? such as the AP's etc
& the ec's?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>P.S. Will challenging myself and take the SAT II's.. which are not required for CSU's... higher my chance of being admitted? as well as attaching an essay??</p>

<p>If you live in California and possess above a 3.0 GPA, you will likely be admitted, regardless of what you score on the ACT or SAT.</p>

<p>It’s CSU’s… Sure, AP’s will impress them, but then again it doesn’t take much to impress them into accepting you in the first place.</p>

<p>CSU? Aim higher, you’ll most likely get into a UC.</p>

<p>The lower-tier ones don’t really care about APs. But if you want to go to Cal Poly, SDSU, or another higher-ranked CSU school, the rigor of your schedule will be a lot more significant.</p>

Try for a UC. Maybe UC Davis and Irvine if you think you aren’t UC material. Heck you might even get into Berkeley and UCLA.
I encouraged my friend who had a low self-esteem. She felt stupid and aimed for SDSU.
But I helped her with her app, and now she’s headed off to UCSD! She even got into Berkeley, but she turned it down.</p>

<p>So you never know. Unless you get into, say, Merced or Riverside, then I understand choosing SJSU or Cal Poly. But hey, give it a shot?</p>
