Transferring to a CSU ?

I know I need to apply this semester but I don’t know if I need to get a letter of recommendation ? a letter as to why I should be accepted into that college ? if it’s soley based on my GPA and my transcript then I doubt any school will accept me. I’ve spent years at a community college and my GPA is currently a 2.7. However, I think I have a very good case as to why that happened and why I am improving. Should I let them know that when I apply ?

CSU= California State University??

If so, LOR’s are not required for admission at a CSU.

Requirements for CSU transfer:

  1. Your college grades
  2. The college coursework you have completed, including the general education courses, specifically the four basic skills courses which are required for admission: one course in English Composition, one course in oral communication, one course in critical thinking and one course in quantitative reasoning (math)
  3. Whether you are in good academic standing at the last college or university attended
