SDSU admits some High stat (honors college invitees) and OOS students in December. The majority of decisions will be posted in March.
@raj_125 @Meemom: In 2020, SDSU published their average admit CSU GPA of 3.96 in their Fast Facts on the website. 2021’s GPA is not listed there and I have never been able to find Admit GPA data by major for SDSU in the last 10 years.
All I can find is admission data by major.

That’s what I understand…but some of these students are not high-stats and they are in state. I know personally that one has a 3.5 and the other 3.7 unweighted. Just so confusing!
SDSU uses the Capped weighted GPA so an unweighted 3.7 GPA could be a 4.0+ in the calculation. A 3.5??? Could be also intended major dependent and local vs non-local.

My child is a December admit from far Northern California, and I suspect that that his major (political science) not being impacted could have played a role, because his friends with higher stats but more competitive majors didn’t hear back yet.
Side note: If anyone hears back re: Weber admits, please post!

All majors at SDSU are impacted but some more than others.

It’s very interesting that the different between avg GPA of in/out of state is greater than the differences among colleges.

It’s on this page (no calculation needed) – but this is for enrolled students only. You can also view by county. Imperial 3.63, SD 3.82, LA 3.9, SF 4.0. It’s not equal to admitted GPA, but I think it helps scale the differences among in/out of state and Local/non local.

[/quote] Imperial is more indicative of the local GPA. SD includes both local and not local. High schools north of the 56 are assigned to Cal State San Marcos and are therefore not local area even though they are in San Diego itself.

Almost every CSU has an “office of institutional research” which has the stats for apps/admits (among many other things) for several years back. Northridge actually shows live status for Fall 2022 right now. Go to the specific schools website and search for “office of institutional research”. or search for it on google. A lot of people don’t know about these depts that track this information. It’s been invaluable to me for both my kids in figuring out which schools they have a shot at getting in to.

My daughter appled for the theatre program (OOS) and submitted an audition per the requirements. She did not get admitted in December or January. Assuming she still has a chance in March? Any other theatre major parents in this group?
You are amazing. This is fantastic. Everyone should review this before they potentially throw away an application fee for almost no shot of getting in.

I think you have to be careful about making a decision based on an average, though. We don’t know what the spread it for either group.

I agree about being careful on one hand, but on the other the lower publicized average GPA leads a lot of lower stats kids to apply that have almost no chance of getting in and the application fee is not cheap. My theory with my older son was apply everywhere you want to go because you miss 100% of the swings you do not take, but we had the luxury of being able to afford that financially and he is resilient enough not to get depressed about all the places that denied him.

Is the GPA here the 10-11 CSU GPA? I am asking for CalPoly because I know they evaluate based on 9-11 GPA.
