What are my chances of getting accepted?

<p>I am a junior in high school with a 2.5 gpa and have not taken the SAT yet. What kind of score would I need to make up for my low gpa? Also, what kind of grades would I need to boost my gpa? (This is my first trimester of junior year) To add on, I am a wrestler, I am in 5 clubs, and have not taken any ap classes yet.</p>

<p>State Universities don’t care about anything else except GPA and test scores. So all of this extracurricular things you have going on isn’t going to help. I think even with a 2.5 GPA and getting an average test score will get you admitted. It depends on what program you want to get into though. Higher standards are held for the impacted majors.</p>

<p>Unless you are local, you need an eligibility index of 3200 or so to be comfortable about SFSU. Locals need 2900. To calculate your EI, they take your CSU GPA * 800 and add your math and reading SAT. Note the CSU GPA excludes freshman year and non-college prep coursework (like PE) and they drop +/- (they also cap your AP count). Most applicants see a drop of .2-.4 So, with a 2.3CSUGPA, you need a 1360/1600 SAT get your EI to 3200.</p>

<p>Non-impacted campuses like Monterrey are looking for an EI of 2900 - which would take an SAT of 1060/1600.</p>

<p>Note also, they don’t care about your extra curricular stuff at all.</p>

<p>If you really want to go straight to a 4 year school, I’d drop some of the non-academic activity and focus on your GPA and test prep. </p>

<p>Good luck</p>

<p>I agree with @NCalRent ^^. Focus on your grades and test scores for a better chance.</p>
