@willowstil are you a local transfer?
I got denied this morning as well.
Hereās whatās written on mine: Thank you for applying to San Diego State University. After carefully reviewing your application, we are unable to offer you admission at this time. Admission to SDSU is highly competitive. This year we received over 94,000 applications for 9,000 enrollment spaces.
If you are not accepted to another CSU campus, your application will be redirected to a non-impacted California State University (CSU) campus. You will receive an email from Cal State Apply if your application is redirected.
SDSU has an appeals process for serious and extenuating circumstances to be reconsidered for admission. Generally, those appeals granted are very limited in number. For specific instructions on submitting an appeal, please visit www.sdsu.edu/appeals.
We wish you success as you pursue your academic and professional goals.

Honestlyā¦ SDSU sucks hahaha I cant believe I got denied
Good luck to everyone else!!
@gdln012 No, Iām from the Bay Area. Iāve heard SDSU really favors local transfers, is that true?
@hwalters6 Denied with a 3.9ā¦ Honestly Iām thinking that theyāre focusing on admitting people they think will actually attend, so if itās obvious that SDSU is your safety school and that youāll likely end up attending a UC or something, they wonāt bother admitting you. Makes sense to save the acceptances for people who are more likely to end up going there, that way they keep their acceptance rates low and enrollment rates high to appear more competitive and sought-after.
@hwalters6 Iām sorry you were denied but SDSU is an excellent institution. It is actually the number two most applied to school in the entire state behind UCLA and is likely the number one CSU overall.
Everything happens for a reason and youāll likely get into an excellent UC school. I always tell everyone it doesnāt matter which school you attend (unless theyāre ivyās) its all about excelling in your undergrad program in order to get accepted to grad school. Additionally, UCās are primarily designed for research while CSU are designed to prepare students to enter the workforce right away. Good luck to you!
@firefox952 Nooooooo! So sorry friend!!
Denied admission. I honestly expected this considering Iām transferring from a CSU to a different CSU. Just a little bummed out considering my circumstances wouldāve been much better at SDSU since they have an amazing biology department with many different concentrations available. Congratulations to everyone who was accepted! At this point Iām not sure if an appeal would work and I donāt think I can get my hopes up again lol
@IsntThatSpatial -Itās all good :). I wasnāt expecting to get in anyways, but at least it was worth a shot. How was the open house? I got into my two choice schools anyways so all in all it worked out. Iām just waiting for CSUSM now.
@Brinna - Which CSU are you coming from/trying to attend?
@firefox952 I currently attend CSUSM and I wanted to transfer over to SDSU!

Ok everyone I understand SDSU doesnāt suck Iām just shocked I didnāt even get waitlisted like I 100% was considering attending
@Brinna -Ah okay!
@icetonsvu - I would call them, I think the reason they denied me is because they probably had more applicants with higher GPAās or more locals that applied as opposed to the non-local ones. For you it could be perhaps your non-local since you have a pretty high GPA.
@firefox952 thanks! i might do that. i didnāt know sdsu really paid much attention to geography but maybe they do? iām from the bay area so maybe? who knows
@firefox952 Oh ok then. Iām glad you were able to get into your other choices though as those are all excellent schools.
The open house was great! Learned about alot of stuff and perks that students receive that I wasnāt aware of that Iāll utilize and bought some apparel too. Good luck with San Marcos!
@icetonsvu - Yeah SDSU is pretty well-known for accepting locals only, as opposed to students outside of their service area.
@IsntThatSpatial - Yes, they are. Iām thankful for the opportunity and even more thankful to come back to LA :). Oh nice, can you share some of those perks? lol. Thanks, Iām going to need it :D.
@firefox952 Haha for sure just come down to a sports game and Iāll get you in for a good discount!
Glad this entire stressful process is over. So now you have to decide between Beach and CPP, huh? Well you still have CSUSM, too.
