What Are My Chances Of Getting Into These CSUs?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I have applied to San Francisco State University, CSU-Fresno, CSU-Sacramento, and plan on applying to San Jose State; SFSU being my first choice. I am kind of pessimistic and nervous whether I will be accepted at all, if I get accepted into at least one I will definitely go there.</p>

<p>What do you think my chances are? I have a fairly good 3.96 cumulative GPA, but a low SAT score of 1410 (480 Reading, 500 Math and 430 Writing). I just took the SAT again because I know I could do better, and plan on taking the ACT this month.</p>

<p>Thanks for your time!</p>

<p>What CSU is closest to home?</p>

<p>SFSU: Low match
Fresno State: Low match
Sac State: Low match
San Jose State: Match</p>

<p>San Jose would be the closest, then SFSU, and the other two are about the same. So most likely I won’t get into the first three then?</p>

<p>Do you understand about impacted campuses and impacted majors? In those situations, it helped if you are in the schools referral area.</p>

<p>I understand that schools and majors of impaction are exceedingly applied to making it harder to get it, and SFSU and Sac State’s major I applied to are not impacted, I am not sure about the actual campus, however. And are you saying it is easier to be admitted if close to the campus?</p>

<p>CSUs are easier to get in if you live close to campus, so I’ll revise the ratings accordingly. Plus a “low match” actually is a school where you’re likely to get in.</p>

<p>SFSU: Match
SJSU: Low match
Sac State: Low match
Fresno State: Low match</p>

<p>Thanks for the insight!</p>

<p>I believe it’s called a “referral area”, and I have heard of cases when the referrall area is not always closer. I believe students meeting the eligibility index, and within the referral area of non impacted campuses for non impacted majors are guaranteed admission. I believe SLO is an exception. I will try to find the link for referral areas, but of course it shouldn’t keep you from applying.</p>

<p>Here it is; it’s called a “local admission area”.</p>

<p>It turns out I am not in the local admission area, unfortunately. I did, however, apply to a non impacted major. Hopefully my eligibility index and non impacted major will be good enough to be accepted, thanks for the help! Did not know about the local admission area.</p>
