I got an email this morning that I hadn’t yet been admitted to the school when they evaluated honors applications so now I have to wait until early April to get my honors decision.
How likely to get off the waitlist depends upon how many admitted students enroll at SDSU by May 1.
Here is some waitlist data from 2020, 2019 and 2018. It varies from year to year so there is know way to gauge your chances. My advice is to consider the WL a rejection, focus on other schools where you have been admitted and if you happen to be admitted off the WL, then it just icing on the cake.
2020:
Number of qualified applicants offered a place on waiting list-5,012
Number accepting a place on the waiting list-2,127
Number of wait-listed students admitted-801
2019:
Number of qualified applicants offered a place on waiting list-3,529
Number accepting a place on the waiting list-1,607
Number of wait-listed students admitted-513
2018:
Number of qualified applicants offered a place on waiting list-2,853
Number accepting a place on the waiting list-1,276
Number of wait-listed students admitted-46

Anyone hear anything yet for Drama/Theater?
Anyone rejected from SDSU yet? Seems we have only heard of acceptance therefore thinking we must be in the rejected group

Starting to lose hope! I’m a little confused because I was accepted to Cal Poly Slo with a 4.1 CSU GPA, a leadership position, lots of extracurriculars, and a job but I still haven’t heard from SDSU. I applied under Marketing, is there still a chance?
yeah your stats seem pretty good, I don’t see why not. idk how competitive marketing is tho

We are waiting for biology and haven’t heard anything either.
I don’t think we have seen any environmental science either, and that is what my daughter is waiting for. That’s a smaller major, so it’s possible just no one else on here applied to that, but hoping those just haven’t been sent yet.
My son was accepted into liberal studies at SLO and SDSU (elementary education). He will probably accept at SLO and decline SDSU. CSU GPA is 4.17.
i applied for environmental science, still pending

Other than the cohort that was accepted in December, I have not seen one Marketing admission since. My Son is waiting too, keep the faith, probably coming next week.

I never received any emails from SDSU after I applied. I have over a 4.5 GPA and live in SD so I am definitely eligible… I’ve been seeing mixed responses of people saying that you apply for scholarships once you’ve been accepted and are intending to enroll. Is that true?
Thank you!
So does this mean you don’t apply for scholarships until you’ve been accepted and are enrolling at SDSU?
Below are two merit scholarships offered by SDSU but you have to be invited to apply. In general none of the CSU’s give much in the way of merit aid but offer good need-based aid dependent upon your eligiblity through Federal grants and Cal grants.
Academic achievement scholarships are competitive scholarships awarded based primarily on your academic achievement in high school.
If you are eligible for an academic achievement scholarship, you will receive an invitation from San Diego State University to apply after you have submitted your application for admission through Cal State Apply.
Academic achievement scholarships may be renewed for up to four consecutive academic years (8 semesters) of undergraduate study if you continue to meet the scholarship’s eligibility requirements. You must be enrolled full-time each semester to maintain eligibility.
SDSU Merit Scholarship
Scholarship Value: Renewable awards of $7,500 - $10,000 per year
The SDSU Merit Scholarship, SDSU’s most prestigious scholarship, is awarded to a select number of the most academically-qualified students who graduate from a local SDSU admissions-area high school and achieve a minimum 4.00 high school GPA and a minimum score of 1460 on the SAT or a minimum composite score of 33 on the ACT. To be eligible for scholarship renewal, continuing SDSU Merit Scholars must maintain a minimum 3.50 grade point average and complete at least 30 units of coursework each year.

About the “ Other scholarships require you be admitted to SDSU”… so student has to submit SIR first before applying to these scholarships? Also around when do these scholarships get typically awarded? Is financial need required for these scholarships or are these pure merit only?
According to the Webpage, there are 700 scholarships available with maximum July Deadline but Priority deadline April 15th. I am not familiar with the majority of scholarships and whether they are need-based or academic/merit based. My younger son applied to a departmental scholarship as a Junior but if you fill out the general application, based on that application, you will get a list of scholarships that fits your information/criteria.
These scholarships require you are an enrolled SDSU student.
