Early Acceptances?

Colleges and Universities A-Z San Diego State University

<p>Hi everyone. </p>

<p>I live in San Diego County and applied to SDSU in October. I applied for the criminology program. My GPA is around a 3.2 and my SAT score is 1030 (just math and reading) but 1580 combined. My webportal says early march but I am reading that people are getting accepted already? I am so stressed and in the middle of finals! Haha this is my dream school. When will I hear? What are my chances? </p>

<p>High Stats applicants will hear Mid December and the rest of the applicants around Mid February </p>

3

<p>Calculate your eligibilty index and if you around 4000 then you have a good chance. </p>

4

<p>what is around 3670? </p>

5

<p>What is your major?? For the highly competitive majors such as Business, Engineering, CS, Nursing, you need above a 4000 for a good chance. Here is a link to the # of applicants for each major and how many were admitted but not their Stats from last year.</p>

<p>My major is criminal justice. </p>

7

<p>It looks like Criminal Justice had a 18% acceptance rate last year so based on your Stats and EI, I would say it would be a Low Reach. I hope you have some backups and safeties on your list.</p>

<p>Who do they usually admit first? Just out of curiosity… I have a 3.5 or higher CSU GPA (Don’t even know if i calculated it 100% correctly but…) and all IB classes. Applied OOS. </p>

11

<p>@gumbymom What do you mean by high stats applicants?</p>

12

<p>Admitted today:</p>

<p>OOS, undeclared.
1760/2400, 1160/1600
GPA 3.42 UW</p>

<p>Good luck to all!!</p>

13

<p>SDSU for the last few years admits applicants with an EI of around 4200 or higher along with several OOS applicants early. Many of the early acceptances are also given a chance to apply for the Honors college. This is just a pattern I have seen with the posted acceptances from 2013-current. It will depend upon how competitive each applicant pool is for each particular major. </p>

14

<p>How long does this usually go on for, before they start their “Regular” decisions…</p>

15

<p>@hemovex, you see posts from Mid-December through the end of the month for early acceptances. Regular decisons start around Mid-February through Early March.</p>

16

<p>How do you calculate EI if you took the ACT? With a 3.72 csu gpa and 29 ACT composite score.</p>

17

<p>do you know what is a good Eligibility Index using ACT score? my son did better on ACT than SAT</p>

18

<p>I heard that someone got into engineering with an ACT EI of 1088. My daughter has a 1034. Still waiting.</p>

19

<p>My younger son had an ACT EI of 1056 and was admitted for Computer Science last year in February. I would say if you have an EI of 1000+ then you stand a good chance for an acceptance</p>

<p>@gumbymom Oh okay thanks! My EI is 4370 for business in state but I haven’t heard back yet. </p>
