How to get accepted to CSUF?

<p>In the fall I will be a junior in high school and really want to go to CSUF. My average for sophomore year for the whole year was 94. I don't think my grades are a problem to get accepted and I am going to take the SAT later this year, hopefully the first date possible. I already have 3 books on the SAT so I am ready for it. The one problem I have is that I am out-of-state. What are my chances with not living in California? I really want to go to an out-of-state school and my parents are ok with it. Also I know that you need a credit in theater related classes but I don't believe my school has any. I will have all other required credits, 3 years of spanish, 6 years of math, 4 years of english, and 3 years of science with 2 being labs. Hopefully by the time I graduate I will have a college credit in Statistics and Calculus. I want to major in Information Technology and am thinking about minoring in Criminal Justice. So do you think I have a good chance of getting in?</p>

<p>I don’t know if you are talking about Fresno or Fullerton, but both of those campuses are impacted, so they have more stringent standards for admission. With a 94 GPA, as long as you get test scores that correspond to your high GPA, it seems that you should be in good shape for admission.</p>

<p>As for the Visual or Performing Arts requirement, theatre is not the only option. You could take band, orchestra, choir, dance, or a visual art (painting, drawing, ceramics, photography, etc). If you don’t know which courses at your HS would satisfy the requirement, contact the admissions office at CSU for help.</p>

<p>Oh, I’m sorry, I am talking about California State University Fullerton. In 8th grade I took 2 high school courses and got 78 in Biology and 81 in Algebra. I don’t believe those were bad as most people have an extra year until they have to take them. I received an 83 in Geometry Exam in 9th grade. In June, when I was a sophomore, I took Global History 2 and Algebra2/Trig Exams and got an 89 in Global and 91 in Algebra 2. My school does have photography classes which I will take then in order to meet the requirements. Thanks.</p>

<p>Please double check with the admissions office at CSUF about the photography class. It’s best to get important questions answered by an expert!</p>

<p>I will make sure, thanks</p>
