<p>Appealies post here with your stats and the reason why you think you got denied acceptance.</p>

<p>3.71 gpa, 81 units and all but one prereqs completed(i'm taking that last prereq this semester, actually), taking an additional 16 units this semester.</p>

<p>I think I got denied because I was unable to submit my supplemental form.</p>

<p>I am appealing. 3.43 GPA 123.5 units completed, IGETC completed, ALL major prep completed, and a “service Area” transfer student with "guaranteed admission. I was denied because of an “error” on my supplemental. Each section MUST HAVE 3 courses checked no matter what! Apparently “principals of Economics 1,2” only counts as one class on the application.</p>

<p>First of all, it never hurts to try.</p>

<p>However, I heard that this message is being sent around.</p>

<p>Thank you for your interest in San Diego State University. SDSU admission decisions are highly competitive; this year, we received more than 55,000 applications for 2,877 new transfer enrollment spaces. The California state budget does not allow for any enrollment growth in 2009 - 2010. With this very limited number of enrollment spaces for transfers, applicants were evaluated based on self-reported information provided on the SDSU supplemental application. As such, we cannot accept any admission appeals.</p>

<p>All fall 2009 transfer applicants must meet the following requirements to be considered for admission and remain eligible:

  • Complete a minimum of 60 transferable semester units by the end of spring 2009.
  • Complete General Education (GE) requirements in written communication, oral communication, critical thinking, and mathematics with a “C” or higher in each course by the end of spring 2009.
  • Complete all the General Education courses by the end of spring 2009.
  • Meet the Grade Point Average (GPA) required for the major to which you apply (see SDSU Office of Admissions, GPA Requirements for the Major). Applicants must meet the required GPA at the time of application, and must maintain the GPA through the end of spring 2009.
  • Met the ranking minimum 3.30 GPA that may be higher than the major GPA.
  • Priority is given to applicants whose previous coursework was completed solely at California community colleges (CSU Enrollment Policy states that applicants from California community colleges are given priority for admission).
  • SDSU’s service area includes from institutions in San Diego County that are located south of State Route 56 and extending eastward AND Imperial Valley County. (refer to SDSU I Want to Apply for additional information on service area)</p>

<p>SDSU rejections due to computer glitch?
By Leonel Sanchez (Contact) Union-Tribune Staff Writer</p>

<p>2:00 a.m. March 12, 2009</p>

<p>COLLEGE AREA — A computer glitch might have caused San Diego State University to erroneously reject as many as 110 community college students who met transfer requirements, officials said.</p>

<p>The university will review the fall 2009 applications and accept anyone mistakenly turned away, said Ethan Singer, SDSU’s associate vice president for academic affairs.</p>

<p>“If we make an error, and it’s our fault, we’ll correct it,” Singer said.</p>

<p>Counselors at community colleges in San Diego and Imperial counties raised the issue this week after students who had met the necessary academic requirements to transfer to the university received rejection letters.</p>

<p>“All of a sudden we had a slew of students in panic in our offices,” Grossmont College counselor Scott Barr said.</p>

<p>Singer said the affected students filled out an online “supplemental admission application.”</p>

<p>“It appears there may have been a bug in either the format or the software of the application,” he said.</p>

<p>Students were erroneously told that they had failed to take all the required general-education classes to transfer, counselors said.</p>

<p>Singer said SDSU will send letters to about 110 students asking them to submit transcripts again. “If they are eligible, we’ll admit them,” he said.</p>

<p>Southwestern College student Adrienne Wood, 27, said she cried when she received a rejection letter this week. She was relieved to hear that her application would be reviewed again.</p>

<p>“I met all the eligibility criteria,” Wood said. “I kept my end of the bargain.”</p>

<p>not fair =(</p>

<p>here’s an e-mail i just got.</p>

<p>Hello Levani,</p>

<p>We do not have a waiting list for transfer applicants. If San Diego State is your number one school, you will have to reapply for the Fall 2010.</p>

<p>Sincerely,
Kelly Tedrow

<p>I was just notified via Email that my application is under review. I guess I am one of the 110 or so…what a relief. The email read as follows…</p>

<p>It has recently come to our attention that our supplemental application may not have provided you with the opportunity to indicate the full complement of courses you have completed or will complete by the end of the spring 2009 semester. If that turns out to be the case in your circumstance, you may be eligible for fall 2009 admission to San Diego State University. Therefore, if you would like us to re-evaluate your application for admission, please provide us with an official copy of all college transcripts.</p>

<p>i was impressed by your GPA but am sorry to hear that.
:(</p>

<p>I’m appealing as well. I still need to call admissions and ask why exactly my application was denied. My GPA is 3.0 and I’ll have all requirements met by spring 2009. The major I have choosen has a GPA minimum of 2.60, which I’m well above of. However I am from outside the county so I read that the minimum may be higher. Nonetheless, hearing that some glitches and errors had been made with the supplemental application, I still would like them to review my transcript. Maybe then they’ll accept me. I want to go to SDSU so much, I’m willing to do everything I can to be enrolled into the Fall 2009 Semester.</p>

Got accepted to UC Davis, UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz, San Francisco State, and Humboldt State. Waiting to hear back from UC Berkeley.</p>

<p>4.0 GPA - transfer student
I laughed so hard when SDSU rejected me since it was my safety school. Dude, I’ve heard it called STDSU so many times, it wasjust too funny. Not appealing, don’t see the point since it’s mainly just a crowded party school.</p>
