Denied
Business accounting
GPA 3.78
Non local
In state
Omg I’m applying as a freshmen and I’m scared because all of the business accounting majors are being denied with good stats. Wish me luck!
Hi all,
Unfortunately, I was denied admission.
My stats: psychology major (impacted)
GPA: 3.94
Golden four: will be completed by the end of this semester, I’m taking speech and critical thinking. Could this be a reason why, despite the fact that they say you only need to have it done by the end of spring?
Major prereqs: completed
California resident, but not local to SD.
Has anyone else had the same experience? Sdsu was supposed to be my back up school (it was a last minute decision which is why I’m taking speech this semester), so now I’m extremely worried about my UC applications.
@ohbeebee its crazy that you got rejected with such a high gpa but as you said, the psychology major is extremely impacted and so is sdsu in general. I think the issue was that you’re not local and SDSU hit a record amount of applicants this year. It doesn’t have anything to do with golden four but if you are concerned then I would appeal. I think you’ll be fine at the UCs! I know people who got rejected at SDSU but got into UCLA. good luck! 
@ohbeebee I had a 3.8 GPA for business finance and got rejected too. It was also my backup but it looks like I may have a better shot at my main, Cal Poly SLO at this point.
That is crazy! All of you guys with 3.8-4.0 GPA getting rejected makes me feel nervous. I understand most majors are impacted, but how can they reject students with those high GPAs? Unless there are a bunch of 4.0 GPA local students applied.
DENIED
Major: Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting
GPA: 3.97 (4.0 with transferable courses)
AA-T: No (transferring from Palomar CC)
Prerequisite: Completed in Spring '18
Golden 4: Done
SD Area: North County
Other schools I applied to: SLO
Had out of state school credit so I was half expecting to be denied. I am considering appealing it because I can’t afford to go anywhere else that has such a great accounting program.
I am so worried now!! You guys have perfect GPAs and are getting denied?? I applied with a 3.77 as a sociology major now I feel like there’s no hope for me but haven’t seen any sociology majors post anything im scared
Not only do you guys have perfect GPAs, some of you guys are locals. I’m shocked. Btw can someone with an eligible ADT confirm if their electronic verification went through or if they were denied?
I am pretty surprised by the amount of denied applicants here lol. I never seen that many.
I really do think SDSU is mostly prioritizing local at the moment my gpa is 3.76 and got in for bus/accounting and im SD local, but still good luck to anyone out there who are still wating!
I was denied too.
Aerospace Engineering, 3.7GPA
Golden Four completed by the end of this semester.
All of the requirements were to be completed by the end of this semester too.
I am also a local college student here in Chula Vista.
People with far less GPA than I do have gotten into the college (with 2.8 and 3.2).
This was my back up of a back up (I have UCI TAG), but still, denied admission is a blow to the confidence…
@Sdnightclubemt Thanks for this info! Question though! What were you told was the minimum gpa for public health? I thought it was 2.9 but last semester and this semester my counselor at grossmont told me it was 2.75. I told him I thought it was 2.9 and he said something about local schools get a lower gpa for whatever reason?
Unfortunately I had a 2.82 and accidentally put on my supplemental application that I have a 2.79…
I was denied for admission yesterday ): Even though I will have completed all courses by the end of this semester and also taking a public health course at SDSU…
@Sdnightclubemt also wondering if I should even try to appeal?
Any other communication majors hear back from them yet? My portal still says pending
@axh0881 mine says pending too
@sdsu18transfer ok so just to qualify into the major is a 2.75…but to get a tag you need at least a 2.9, the issue is sdsu has so many tag qualified public health applicants and so few slots for them. So they cut off the tag at a 3.2 GPA this year. Which is a complete rip off because everyone was told a 2.9! And I had a solid 3.0, but everyone that didn’t have to 3.2 was put in the general pool of public health applicants and most of us were denied. And as I’m going thru this forum I notice it’s not just public health majors but other majors as well that were denied tag.
@sdsu18transfer as for the appeal I’m submitting mine in the hopes that people just don’t go to sdsu and slots open up, but I seems I won’t get into sdsu this year… so I’ll take bs classes next year to raise my gpa because that’s all I can do
@axh0881 I’m a Comm major and was denied admission yesterday.
UCI might come out mid-march, i believe this because i am a honors students and the verifications for the honors programs were due last week so it might be another week.
