<p>Guys today is like the worst day ever.. I applied to 4 schools NYU stern, BU, SJSU, SDSU in accounts major.My SAT score is 1490/2400. I have been rejected from stern and sjsu. I obviously knew I would get rejected from stern but sjsu has also rejected me that I do not fulfill their csu math requirement. SDSU is also under csu rules. My chances are not good at all for BU. SAT will happen here in late March so cannot attemp it.I offered sjsu to complete their math requirment but at fail..........Should I drop college as I do not want to apply again as already took a gap year and admissions are closed here. VERY VERY STRESSED!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Sorry to hear this, this must be tough. One wonders why you applied to CSU if you did not meet the requirements? Are you a CA resident? The obvious next step would be to start classes at a community college. Since you have already graduated, you could start with the spring semester. Good luck; persistence will be the key for you.</p>
<p>No no I am an international student who completed school in 2012 and did a 1 year program in accounting in 2013…</p>
<p>Some deadlines have not yet passed at schools with somewhat more flexible admissions requirements. If you hurry, you can still submit more apps for fall 2014. As an example, you could still apply to Univ of Richmond (deadline extended to Jan. 21): [Undergraduate</a> Admission - University of Richmond](<a href=“http://admissions.richmond.edu/]Undergraduate”>http://admissions.richmond.edu/)</p>
<p>Are you full pay?
If so, there are still lots of schools that will admit you.
With a 1490/2400, it was kind of strange that you even applied to BU and NYU; you could see the CSU requirements, too. :s You got bad advice, I’m afraid.
However, not all is lost if you can work on your CommonApp again (create a new version from the old one) and prepare supplements.
Anyway, some good schools are still accepting applications and if you’re full pay you may have a shot, even though your SAT score is really low (even for an international) for those schools: Holy Cross, Dickinson. More accessible with that SAT score (if you’re full pay or close) are St Michael’s, Quinnipiac, Mary Washington and Christopher Newport (public universities in VA), Butler, Ithaca, Kalamazoo, Knox, Lemoyne, Southerwestern, Miami-Ohio (public, OH), UNC-Wilmington (North Carolina), Nazareth, Transylvania, St Mary’s of CA, Willamette.</p>
<p>Yes I am a full pay… Can you suggest some good ranking schools in new york also suitable to me? Please</p>
<p>Nazareth, Lemoyne, Ithaca, and Quinnipiac are in NYS or “close” enough to NYC so that you could go once a month if you had time, as well as Dickinson which is about 5 hours away (not that far in the US).
If you’re full pay you can also try Manhattanville, Hofstra, CCNY, Old Westbury, plus all the SUNYs whose deadlines are in February (not sure!)
Be aware that you’re unlikely to be able to just “go to the city” whenever you like since you’ll be very busy at college. If your school is a commuter school the students may leave and go home on weekends so it may become more important to see how you can get to the city.
However why would you restrict yourself to New York City? It’s very limiting for you because the NY schools likely to admit you will also be very costly and unlikely to be as good as the schools located elsewhere. In addition, as an international student, you might want a residential college over a commuter school.
Be aware that with a 1490 you’re unlikely to get into really high ranked schools. Holy Cross and Dickinson are high reaches as it is and the highest-ranked you can probably aim for.
Here’s a list of schools that still admit students:

<p>If you are full pay your options are better. Try some test optional schools. Sarah Lawrence is well ranked, test optional and has a February deadline.</p>
<p>The CSU system is more competitive than some other states (it’s the California weather lol.) SDSU is one of the most competitive in that system. You might try another state with rolling admissions. How about the University of Nevada system (Las Vegas or Reno?) How about University of Iowa? How about Rider in New Jersey.</p>

<p>I just helped some of my daughters’ friends apply to colleges and they got into all of them so far. One girl had a similar SAT score. Pace University in NYC ( not sure of the deadline!) University of Hartford ( quick train ride to NYC) Manhattanville College. She got quick responses too!</p>
<p>Thanks a lot guys for your suggestions. Let us hope for the best</p>
<p>What is the math req’t that you’re lacking?</p>
<p>They told me that there should be a 3 year requirement in Maths. I have not studied Maths in 11th and 12th grade. Though the topics mentioned on csu website have been studied by me even before 10th standard…</p>
<p>This is a cultural miscommunication then. Tell them you completed Trigonometry or Precalculus in the 10th grade and offer to send them the 4 year progression for your math classes if they want to verify it.
Typically “3years” stands for “AlgebraI, Algebra II, Geometry”. If you’ve had this, you should be fine. Didn’t you send your GCSE’s or O’Level results?</p>
<p>If you wanna go where it’s warm and sunny try the University of Arizona or Arizona State. Their apps don’t close until may and nearly everyone that applies gets in</p>
<p>CSU counted my daughter’s 8th grade math. Did you input that class in your application? They don’t look at transcripts until you accept a position so it would be you that needed to submit it. Perhaps you can talk to them about that.</p>
<p>Yes I had already sent them all my transcripts right from 8th standard to 12th standard.I even sent them links about the Maths syllabus I had studied. I guess they are just making excuses they do not want me in.I do not know why they are doing so?</p>
<p>SDSU has an acceptance rate of 30%. Their Critical reading and Math SAT average is 1152, but that includes students that belong to their service area (graduating from specific local high schools) who are given priority. Out of area students are expected to have higher SAT and GPA numbers to be accepted.</p>
<p>I wanted to add, since you are full pay, you still have a lot of options. I second the Arizona State and U of Arizona suggestions. Also check New Mexico State U and U of New Mexico. There should be quite a few Midwestern state universities still available.</p>
<p>I agree. Forget about the CSU’s and apply to Arizona, ASU, UNew Mexico, and if you’re into technology, New Mexico School of Mining and Technology, plus
As an international you have a very high likelihood to get into Westminster-Mesa for International Business and you also have all the universities I listed before. Hurry though. :)</p>
<p>There are quite a few universities with rolling admissions. You could try applying to some of these since the deadlines are quite late (I’ve seen one with an august deadline!)</p>
<p>There’s a useful page regarding rolling admissions here: <a href=“http://www.collegeconfidential.com/dean/archives/000228.htm[/url]”>http://www.collegeconfidential.com/dean/archives/000228.htm</a></p>
<p>And like the above poster stated, don’t give up. Especially since you are full pay. If you had the restraint of “financial aid needed”, then it would be more difficult to find colleges with adequate scholarships/grants that still have admissions open. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks a lot guys for your valuable opinions. I got admitted to sdsu… I do not know how but yes got admitted just need to give the ept and elm tests</p>
