<p>Mechanical engineering
ACT 23 (math 22)
GPA 3.56</p>

<p>You need to calculate your CSU GPA, see link:<a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Cal State Apply | CSU;
Also you need to calculate your Eligibility index (UC GPA x 200) + (ACT composite x10). For Engineering you want to have a EI around 950+ for ACT or 3300 for SAT.</p>
<p>CSULB: Low Reach/High Match</p>
<p>ACT Math score is low for Engineering. You may struggle with the amount of Math required. I suggest you retake the ACT and concentrate on the Math section.
This is from CSULB Admissions:</p>
<p>Applicants to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Majors (STEM majors):
Applicants will be admitted based on a calculated “STEM Eligibility Index.” The “STEM Eligibility Index” places additional weight on quantitative skills required for success in these majors. Refer to STEM Eligibility Index for details of how this index is calculated. Applicants who are considered ‘local’ based on their high school of graduation or military status will be offered admission if they meet the minimum “STEM Eligibility Index.” The minimum for Fall 2014 consideration is 3,300. Other eligible applicants will be ranked by the “STEM Eligibility Index” and will be offered admission based on space available in the major or college. </p>
<p>Admission to STEM majors will be to a ‘pre-major’ status. Continuation in the major will be subject to meeting specific lower division course and GPA requirements at CSULB that indicate the student’s ability to succeed and complete the major. </p>
<p>Be aware: CSULB strongly recommends that applicants to STEM majors complete additional math courses beyond the minimum required for the CSU to improve the likelihood of success in the major and timely graduation</p>
<p>Thank you so much! This is the most useful answer I have received on this site so far!</p>
<p>Your welcome. I have been through the CSU/UC application process twice in the last 2 years, so I have done a lot of research to help my sons get into the colleges of their choice. Good Luck.</p>
