Actually, the date is there in the screen shot you posted (Feb 16, 2022). If that date is the same as the “Admission Status Date” in your SDSU portal, then I think you can be reasonably assured that SDSU has your ADT verification.
I’m confused about where the green check for ADT verification is supposed to be, I don’t have a red or a green check at all?
Where do you see the red x in the SDSU portal? My Cal State Apply portal says the same as yours (it says that my ADT is in progress and will be completed by spring 2022) but on my SDSU portal I don’t have a red or green check anywhere?
What is the major that you selected for your SDSU application?
It may be that the major you selected does not have an SDSU-Approved Cal State Apply Major Equivalent? See “Find the Pathway for your Major” on the SDSU Transfer Pathways web page here: Transfer Pathways | SDSU
My major is Psychology(Neuroscience) and I will have my ADT in Psychology by the end of spring semester. On the transfer pathways SDSU website that you linked, it says my pathway would be Psychology (Applied). However, I went farther down on the page and there’s no X under the Psychology (Neuroscience) ADT column, so I’m not sure what that means?
Someone can correct me, but I believe that it means that your admission decision is not contingent upon your receipt of the Psychology ADT.
The pathway listed for the BA in Psychology (Neuroscience) is the General Pathway, so applicants for that degree will be “admitted on a space available basis and must meet the Transfer Admission Minimum Requirements to be eligible to gain admission to SDSU.”
Ohhhh I see, thank you for explaining. Do you know if that means I have less of a change of getting in?
I don’t know how it affects your chances, but good luck!
There’s no way of knowing until decisions come out for you, this is only the first wave admissions
You may want to give SDSU admissions a call… they clarified a bunch of questions that I had and they have zoom drop in hours during the week

thanks! good luck to you too!!
Unfortunately, the dates do not match. My “Admission Status Date” is just one day after I sent in my original application (back in November). I wish they’d make this system better. I’ve contacted people at my CCC, Cal State Apply, and SDSU, and none of them seem to even know what an ADT is. It’s very stressful for the students when they leave things so ambiguous. I appreciate all the help you’ve offered btw! Are most peoples’ “Admission Status Date” changing?
My admission status hasn’t changed. It still states the date that i submitted my CSU app
Seems like we’re in a pretty similar place. Both verified on Cal State Apply but not on the SDSU portal. Let’s hope that it goes through soon. I looked on last year’s thread and there were some people who didn’t get the green check until after the March 15th deadline. I can’t get any answers from my CCC either. Fingers crossed for us!
Yea i guess we just have to play the waiting game, it’s all we could do at this point.
I’ve just read through a couple of old SDSU transfer threads from prior admissions cycles and came across this post by someone who had emailed the SDSU admissions office to inquire about the status of her ADT verification (in 2018):
As of this morning, the verification X is still not verified. My college verified that it was sent a few weeks ago. I received this email response from SDSU Student Services March 14th regarding that unverified X still showing for ADT
*** " In terms of your ADT verification, this needs to be completed by your college by the deadline tomorrow. They may have already verified you, however, SDSU will not pull the data from the E-verify website until after March 15th.***
I’m sorry if my speculation regarding the Admission Status date may have been erroneous.
There may be some other reason that the Admission Status date I am seeing in the Applicant Information section happens to be the same as the CalStateApply status update date.
Ours is not to reason why…
This might be our answer right here. If there is only one website that our community college uploads the verification to, and Cal State Apply has “pulled the data,” but SDSU just hasn’t gotten around to it yet, then I think we’re in the clear. Great research!
I was reading through prior year SDSU transfer threads again…
Some posts from the 2015 cycle:
One thing to consider is how strongly SDSU favors local cc students. If any given SD cc student applies and has the same qualifications as you, in all likelihood, the local student will get in. If I remember correctly, someone posted last year that SDSU gives first priority consideration to all local cc kids with an AS-T, and then all nonlocals with an AS-T. Now mind you this is only for the majors that directly articulate with the AS-T, like say Bus. Admin (General) or Bus. Admin (Financial Studies)
.
In my opinion and experience, relying on your AS-T isn’t the best idea. Theoretically you get the AS-T in order to be given “priority” consideration. The only problem is that there are likely more people “playing it safe” by choosing the option that gives them “priority,” as opposed to those who try and get in without any special consideration. So you may be given priority consideration, but so are ALL the people who applied to the AS-T major. I think that ultimately weakens your chances of getting in. But then again, I’m only one person, I’m sure there are exceptions.
.
It just seems like it lumps people into one more category of applicants to be sorted out, and were really at the back of the queue, after the locals with AD-T’s, locals without AD-T’s, non-locals without AD-T’s who may have great GPA’s/major pre-reqs/GE’s done. Maybe I have the order wrong, but looking at the timing I may not even hear back for another two or three weeks and I’m a non-local with an AD-T. Somebody correct me if I’m completely off, but this is just how it looks.
And, someone in that 2015 thread linked to the SDSU Institutional Research web page. (See here: Admission Data – Analytic Studies & Institutional Research )
The Applications by Major page (Applications by Major – Analytic Studies & Institutional Research) allows you to see application, admission and enrollment data for freshman or transfer admits on a major by major basis.
The Applications Interactive Visualization (Applications Interactive Visualization – Analytic Studies & Institutional Research) is interesting because you can see the admission trends on a college-by-college basis, along with GPA trends.
I ran through the rough calculations for transfer admissions for each SDSU college in Fall 2021:
Arts & Letters: 40% admitted, average transfer GPA: 3.32
Business: 36% admitted, average transfer GPA: 3.51
Education: 44% admitted, average transfer GPA: 3.41
Engineering: 29% admitted, average transfer GPA: 3.33
Health & Human Services: 22% admitted, average transfer GPA: 3.48
Professional Studies & Fine Arts: 37% admitted, average transfer GPA: 3.45
Sciences: 13% admitted, average transfer GPA: 3.45
Before this, I had known SDSU’s overall admission rate (probably for Freshman admits) was around 37%, but I had never looked into the specifics of transfer admission rates.
This puts into perspective what a crap shoot admissions really is.
For all applicants who have not yet heard your decision, just know that whatever the outcome, it is more a reflection of the particular pool of applicants for your major/your department/your college and the particular mix of local/non-local/ADT/non-ADT applicants in the particular year in which you have applied (Fall 2022), than it is a reflection of you in particular. If you are admitted or denied this year, it is possible that, in another year, with a different mix of applicants, your outcome might have been the opposite. Of course, that is the case with every application to every university.
With that, I’m going to stop wasting energy on thread hopping and portal gazing until sometime between March 15 (the ADT upload deadline) and March 25 (the last business day before SDSU Spring Recess, by which time, nearly all SDSU transfer admission results are usually released, from what I can gather from having read through all those old transfer threads).
Good luck everyone.
