<p>well, I got a 1240 on the reasoning SAT test. And I got an overall gpa of 3.46. I applied to san francisco state, san jose state, stanislaus, fresno, and sacramento.. so do you guys think i can get into a csu with these kind of SAT scores and gpa? which schools am i most guaranteed in? </p>
<p>k thanks</p>
<p>A 1230 from a 1600?</p>
<p>Oh no… This was my first time taking the says</p>
<p>Oh no… This was my first time taking the sats</p>
<p>Bring your scores up to the 1500-1700 range and you’re golden.</p>
<p>The CSUs do not consider the writing portion of the SAT, they only take the total of your critical reading and math scores for your total SAT score. To be competitive at most CSUs you should have a CR+M score of about 1,000/1,6000. For San Jose State and San Francisco State you will need about 1,100/1,600. For CSU Dominguez Hills you probably could get in with a 900/1600 while at Cal Poly SLO you would need 1,300/1,600.</p>

You say with a 1850-1950 I can get in to such universities?</p>
<p>Yes. Bring up your scores a bit more. Although you might be accepted at CSU with your score and GPA.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, but just so you know, Cal State universities aren’t that great of schools.</p>
<p>A 1240 is pretty low, so just bring them up to at least a 1500 [which will be very easy if you study]. Also, I reccommend that if possible, you should apply to Cal State San Bernardino. It seems like almost anyone can get accepted there, and your GPA is in their average range, so that’s a plus if you bring your SAT scores up a bit.</p>
<p>
I’ll apply for them because I need a financial aid.</p>
<p>@Suleyman95, I don’t know if you’re the engineering type, but Cal Poly San Luis Obispo is definitely the best of the CSU system for it. Better than some UC’s, but that’s only what I’ve consistently read about here on CC.</p>
<p>FYI like someone else said: Writing isn’t counted…</p>

Thanks!</p>
<p>The California State University system is a group of California public colleges. In theory, if you are in the top 33% of all California graduating seniors, you are golden in your acceptance. In practicality, you may want to look up on the website to see what the average SAT1 is for each of the CSUs that you are interested in. Some CSUs are more popular solely due to their location…places where people want to live in CA. The CSUs that you have listed should be the “easier” ones to get into (except SJSU and SFSU will probably be harder due to their desirable location). I would think that you will be accepted to all from the list to which you applied (assuming your 1240 is your CR+M score).</p>
<p>As for non-California residents, I am not sure about the acceptance rate or the cost of tuition. The CA public colleges are reasonably priced for CA residents, but will be much more expensive for non-CA residents.</p>
<p>k thanks you guys :)</p>
