@Gumbymom Do you happen to know why some people are getting denied for majors such as nursing when their Ei and stats are above a lot of others who have gotten in?
I know this is really late but I got accepted on December 15th, 2015.
GPA: 3.578
ACT: 28
Major: Pre-Biology
No AP credits and I’m an out-of-state student, from Chicago area.
@MohammadG. Go SLO!
SDSU received 83,000 applications this year and plans to enroll a little over 8,000 meaning they probably will accept around 24,000 applicants. This puts the acceptance rate around 29% which is much lower than previous years of around 35% so more applicants and more competition for probably the same number of available spots.
Regarding nursing, SDSU changed the nursing program to direct admit only, so with an expected 5% acceptance rate, many highly qualified applicants were denied.
Got my decision a week ago but figured I’d better put more details

seems like SDSU put a lot of emphasis on test scores since I’ve been seeing higher gpa’s than me get denied for same major but lower test scores
I was denied with waitlist option from SDSU today with a 998 eligibility index but was accepted to cal poly earlier this month. Strange world eh.
@CaliKid2424 what major?
@calistudent16 political science!
@witmycrew

Congrats though!
