<p>GPA roughly 2.85/4 and ACT 23... my EI is 800. I am from out of state. Ill be applying for fall of '07.</p>
<p>Hmmmmmmmm what do you think?? </p>
<p>Thxx</p>
<p>Kyle</p>
<p>Oh yeah, and one little thing I think you guys should know. </p>
<p>Fresh and Soph years i took french (hated it) and for the four semesters in order i got B D and D D. I know that most colleges require C or higher grades to count. Think this is a problem I can't fix in college, and think this will effect admission?</p>
<p>Kyle</p>
<p>sorry but I dont think that you have any chance at all. sdsu is the second toughest csu to get into and the average gpa for freshmen is around 3.6. if you want to move to california for college try any other csu besides cal poly slo, sdsu or csulb.</p>
<p>but those might also be tough since you are out of state</p>
<p>Your application won't be considered if you did not meet the language requirement (two years of C or better), so you are killed by your French grades before anything else comes into play. That goes for all CSU and UC schools. Other CSU's except for Cal Poly, SDSU and Long Beach are easier to get into in terms of stats (GPA and ACT or SAT's) but still require that you meet the basic high school subject requirements. Check CSUmentor.com.</p>
<p>Thanks for the help.</p>
<p>There is no way to agree to re-take the classes in college? </p>
<p>Will the B and D year be taken as a D i would assume, and not the average of a C?</p>
<p>Most universities require two years of foreign language. So anyone who has a D in them isn't even considered for any university????</p>
<p>your from chicago?? im from a suburb right by joliet (i go to lincoln way east).... yeah im seriously nervous about not getting into sdsu... i have a 3.3 sdsu gpa and an act of 29 and sat of 1190. my elgibility is a 948. chitown, did you read the way that they calculate gpa?? its only a-g courses in 10th and 11th grade. go to csumentor.edu if you havent already</p>
<p>lalady is correct, but if you have your eyes on a california public go to a community college in an area you like. get good grades and then you can transfer in.</p>
<p>btw 828, i went to bremen. before lincoln way was split up it was it our high school conference and had only about 200 students. because the school was so small it got crushed in most sports.</p>
<p>haha yeahh bremen is a small school. well not small but compared to lw it is... were building 3 more b/c our highschool is getting so big... im glad im outta there next year! do you go to sdsu?</p>
<p>no i am a business professor in california. went to university of illinois as an undergrad, master's at missouri, and ph.d. at iowa. when i was in high school bremen had 3400 students and lincoln way had 200. there was no hillcrest and no tinley park back then. our conference was bremen, carl sandburg, rich east, homewood flossmoor, reavis, oak lawn, evergreen park, and lincoln way. that was the southwest suburban conference. the south suburban league had bloom, blue island, joliet (yes, only one high school then), thornton, and several other big power schools like that south of the city.</p>
<p>wait lincoln way only had 200? haha thats wierd b/c we have over 4000 now in just east...central has about the same. haha weve come a long way then b/c our football team won state this year and so did the boys gymnastics and track is like 3rd or something like that... the confrence has changed alot b/c this past year we sandburg, east, central, andrew, providence, and pretty much all the "white" schools in our area split and are now in our own conference... and we might get sued because something about the schools being racist...but i think that rich east is still in our conference and joliet also...so who knows. where do you teach at in cali?</p>
<p>suburbia just has spread all the way from the city to joliet. back the in the 1960s when i was in high school new lenox was a farm town with about 500 people as was tinley park.</p>
<p>i'm a professor of marketing in the california state university system now though i also have taught in the university of california system.</p>
<p>drj, which Cal-states do you recommend for business degrees with finance concentrations?</p>
<p>When I look at schools, I see Cal-states teach students how to be middle managers, while the the top private and top business schools teach kids how to be upper managers or entrepreneurs. </p>
<p>Am I wrong?</p>
<p>stark,
on level of management that's a bit of a simplification. many CSU programs have entrepreneural centers and majors that orient students toward CEO status, particularly at the MBA level. of course most UCs do that as well since anybody would like to have alumni who make big bucks and then return a slice to the alma mater to endow chairs and buildings.</p>
<p>i'd examine closely the curriculum and faculty pedigrees of each program of interest among those that are AACSB accredited--and not all state universities are. put your list together and answer back. i'll give an honest answer.</p>
<p>regarding your other question my wife is a professor of finance coincidentally enough at another campus in the system. i personally regard san diego state as rather distinguished in this area, with fullerton, san jose, san luis and san francisco also rather strong and will check to see if she adds anyone else.</p>
<p>if i were a high school or juco student pondering this sort of question i would pick the best program in the CSU for undergrad work and then the best one i could get into within the UC for an MBA. UCSD by the way is just starting up a new graduate school of business and has some success raiding top faculty (like yale) elsewhere.</p>
