<p>Average SAT scores (CR+M) and high school GPAs needed for acceptance to CSUs have gone up substantially in the last year or two. Greater competition at the UCs have pushed a lot of strong applicants into the pool of students seeking admittance to CSUs which have had, at the same time, to cut the number of students they accept. A number of CSUs have stopped or greatly reduced giving preference to applicants in their service areas and many have also abondoned their policies of guaranteeing admission to all applicants who meet minimum state requirements for eligibility for CSU admission and are instead instituting considerably higher standards for admission. Essentially, the days of guaranteed admission to a CSU if you meet the state’s minimum requirements are over and the days of having to compete with your peers for a limited number of CSU spots has begun. For the first time there will be CSU applicants who are technically eligible for admission to a CSU but will not receive any offers of admission from one.</p>

<p>Given your qualifications you will certainly get accepted somewhere. However, it is not possible for me to tell you an upper tier CSU like Cal Poly Pomona is definitely a safety but I think with your statistics it is a very strong match.</p>
