I am dropping off my spiel from another forum and creating my own!
It’s April and I am worried because I have not been accepted and CSUF is my #1
Submitted: October 22nd
Major: Business Economics
Non-local, but close to the area
GPA: 3.18 (after fall) 3.28 (after AD-T bump) 2.98 (when I applied)
Major GPA: 3.86
Golden Four’s: 2 A’s, 2 B’s. Although one of the B’s was College Algebra and I got an A in Business Calc. Hoping that means something lol.
AD-T: Business Admin AND Economics. My CC told me I needed a Business Admin AD-T because they did not offer an Econ AD-T only later to find out they did after I had already submitted applications (was originally an Economics major), so I think my Business Admin degree is being applied not my Economics one. CSUF was unclear when I explained what happened and other Cal States removed my AD-T from the application altogether… but since Business Economics is technically a Business Admin major, not Economics, I think I am fine and have the AD-T for my application.
Other schools I applied too:
Cal States:
San Diego (denied)
San Francisco (admitted)
Sonoma (admitted)
Long Beach (admitted)
Cal Poly Pomona (admitted)
San Marcos (pending)
Chico (pending)
UC’s:
Davis (pending)
Santa Cruz (pending)
Santa Barbra (pending)
I am nervous I will not get in, but Business Economics is only offered at CSUF and CSULB. However, LB is an hour drive from me and make that +2 with morning LA traffic and driving back I would not make it to work. I am not trying to move out, pay rent and look for a new job to go to a school I do not really want to go to. I am debating Cal Poly because it is close but (1) I would be an Economics major (I have a Business Admin AD-T, University Studies-Bus & Technology Emphasis AA and I want to make use of the business classes I had to take) (2) I do not like the campus or area, I have lived in the I.E. forever and it would be nice to get away a little while still being able to live rent-free with my mom (3) Both my mom and sister attended there (which is a dumb reason to not want to attend, but it is a reason) (4) I am a business/econ major. CPP is a great school, but CSUF is better for my major. I am also debating a double major in applied mathematics when I transfer over.
My theory is that if I got into CSULB and CPP, then CSUF will most likely accept me, right? I know it depends partially on the applicants/impaction and my GPA is borderline with competitiveness for non-locals. It is already April 5th… Also the Waitlist box has been on my portal for a while, as well as the Orientation and Accept/Deny buttons. Does that mean anything?
Does anyone think I will get in? Or that I am qualified enough? I am a good student. I did bad my first year and a half (I have 6 C’s weighing me down…) because I didn’t care, but I have had straight A’s since last Spring. I wish they looked over upwards trends.
Anyone still waiting to hear back?
