Name: Christianne
M/F: F
Age: (if you want to) (26)
Major: Geology-Paleontology
Location: El Cajon, CA
Community College Attended: Mostly San Diego community colleges. But, I took a few transfer courses out of area so I’m non-local.
-SDSU is my first and only choice. It’s the only school that offers my degree emphasis in California. I’m not 100% sure on my acceptance either (still pending). I literally live 10 minutes away from SDSU.
@PaleoMajor I feel like you have a good chance of getting in. I just don’t think they got to a lot of the science majors yet. Even if you don’t get in, I think you have a high chance of getting an appeal approved. It sucks that CSU apps don’t really have an explanation section to state your case before admission decisions like UC schools. Your GPA was good from what I saw on the other forum. I wouldn’t be surprised if you hear something tomorrow.
@filmfiend91 Absolutely! Maybe we could even work on a production together! 
I’m worried about being a pre-major but I know that at SDSU you can basically create your own major if denied in one program. So if they reject my portfolio, I will create my own screenwriting degree. UCLA’s portfolio requirements took forever to get done but I am very optimistic about it because I really put my heart into them! I’m actually more worried about getting into film at SDSU than I am for UCLA! Do you know when we have to submit by?
@MiniGrace11 It said they do evaluations every April, and that for transfers they have to have 15 units completed in the major before they can apply. (So pretty much if we take five classes first semester we can apply the following April) I figure worst case I can transfer back home and go to CSUF since I’m local and they have accepted me every year that I have applied. However, do they accept senior transfers? They did mention that if we don’t get in the first time, we can wait a year and try again. They said you should have at least three out of the five required items to be competitive such as GPA, film submission, and movie idea.
Hopefully we’ll hear something tomorrow, for better or for worst.
does anyone know anything about the proof of AA-T? the portal says you have to send notification to sdsu that you are reciving one and counselor said she is uploading it on some site. Is that enough? Or is there something more i need to do
*my
@keeairooni021 I believe your counselor is saying she is using the electronic verification method. So no you don’t have to do anything further.
perfect i really appreciate it
Good luck tomorrow+ everyone! We have all put in so much time and effort towards bettering our selves/situations and I know for many of us attending CC’s+personal/family problems, it has not been an easy journey. No matter what happens please remember you are all worthy of receiving the proper education (reaching a goal) you’ve always wanted and deserve.
If you don’t get in and believe you will now have to “resort” to a school you think has less credentials or acclaim, I hope you decide to involve yourself more with all that the school has to offer and set the bar.
Thank you for this. I needed to read this before I put myself to sleep. I hope we all wake up to good news! fingers crossed
Still pending as of 7:52am…
Based off of last years thread probably won’t get a response today till it’s close to midday.
I’m looking into sterling Alvarado!! It’s 5 'minutes away from the school!
@atomicera I heard horror stories about that place too. Literally everyone is trying to get out of their lease on Facebook. They also said that it is really dirty while ameneties are always broken.
Anyone hear anything back ?
Just checked it…still pending…
Question for you all … I got accepted to CSUSM and I was telling my friend about it and her response was … anyone can get in there. I live in San Diego so my options are between San Diego State or CSUSM. Is this true ? Isn’t it just a newer campus?
