<p>I received my acceptance packet today! The cover letter is dated April 14 and I live about 10-15 minutes from the CSULB campus, so I’m going to assume that I may have been one of the first to receive the packet. CSULB expects everyone to submit their acknowledgement paperwork by next Friday, so I bet the notifications heading to Northern California will arrive tomorrow or Monday…</p>
<p>@monkeyboy23- Congrats man! What are your stats? Did you also go to a HS in Long Beach?</p>
<p>wow monkeyboy you serious? CONGRATZ!! i cant wait to check mail next week aggggggg…yah I’m curious about your stats as well, and how good you think your essay was?</p>
<p>To the Power of One, I actually attend a high school in Huntington Beach. As for my stats - 1930 on the SAT and a GPA of about 4.2. All-league and team captain in football, basketball and baseball. Wendy’s High School Heisman, National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete, National Society of High School Scholars, Orange County Register Scholar-Athlete of the Week. Student body president the last two years, varsity jazz band, yearbook, Powder Puff coach and plenty of community service hours. Basically, I never turned down an opportunity to add to my resume. I worked on that essay off and on for about a week, and I tried to tie everything into connecting with Long Beach State (which I do) and being active in the college community (which is what I plan on doing). Even though I received very generous scholarship offers from St. John’s and Hofstra, my first choice has always been the President’s Scholars program at Long Beach State.</p>
<p>wow nice stats!!..so are you pretty sure you are one of the first ones to receive it? even if Nickole got her waitlist letter like 2 weeks ago?</p>
<p>I honestly don’t know. What I said is only an assumption on my part based on what I read in your posts and Nickole’s posts, and the geography of the situation. So have you received your Saturday mail yet?</p>
<p>Wow you apparently did it all! Congrats!</p>
<p>Thanks! I definitely put in the work, but I also have a great support network with my parents…</p>
<p>didnt come in mail-_- haha…man I’m like freaking out I got no other scholarships so this Pres Scholar thing is my last shot…I don’t get how they can wait this long to send out notifications when we have to make a decision by May 1st for other schools</p>
<p>I totally agree! I think you’ve got the credentials to make the cut, so maybe that letter is in the mail Monday or Tuesday! And if you are selected, I look forward to meeting you over the summer…</p>
