<p>Do you guys think I have a chance? I recently received my SAT Scores. I did bad on the Verbal part getting 350 and I did somewhat good in the Math part getting 510. I have a 3.17 unweighted GPA. I also live in California about a little over 6 hours away from Long Beach. I plan to take the SAT again, but I'm just curious if I have a chance getting admitted to the school. CSULB one of my top picks in the college I think I have a shot at, my other picks are dream colleges I know I can't get in. </p>
<p>You are below the 25 percentile for the SAT Critical Reading and at 50 percentile for Math. Your GPA is also low with the average at 3.5 (unweighted). Check the link for the common data set to give you an idea of the scores you need <a href=“http://campus-sas.csulb.edu/IRpdfreports/cds13.pdf”>http://campus-sas.csulb.edu/IRpdfreports/cds13.pdf</a>
Also you need to calculate your eligiblity index using your SAT Critical Reading and Math scores. If you plan to major in STEM, CSULB uses a different calculation for the EI see link: <a href=“First-Time, First-Year Student CSULB Index | California State University Long Beach”>http://www.csulb.edu/depts/enrollment/admissions/res_eligibility.html</a>
If your EI is around 4000, then you have a good chance.
With your score now, I say CSULB is a Low Reach.</p>
