Trying to apply to CSUN

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm trying to transfer in Fall 2013 to CSUN. I'm currently in community college and my overall gpa is 2.63. I have two semesters left to raise it, which I'm sure I can do because I finished all my core/GED requirements and am just taking extra classes to boost grades. I'm sure by the end of the two semesters i'll be at a 3.0. I don't live in LA either, I'm originally from Orange County. I'm just really scared I won't be admitted mainly because their school offers teaching credentials for speech-language pathology and that's what I'm interested in. Any help, suggestions would be so appreciated! Thank you.</p>

<p>Northridge appears to not be campus impacted for transfers:
[CSU</a> Campus Impaction Information | Student Academic Support | CSU](<a href=“http://www.calstate.edu/sas/impaction-campus-info.shtml]CSU”>http://www.calstate.edu/sas/impaction-campus-info.shtml)</p>

<p>According to the following, only business has major impaction at Northridge:

<p>Thanks. I’ve looked at all those and called Admissions and Records, but I’m still worried because of the budget cuts. I also know that if you don’t live locally, you’ll have a lesser chance of getting admitted unless your grades are amazing whereas I’m just average. :’(</p>
