I’m an out of state residents with a 1550 on the SAT and a 3.4 gpa uw. I have taken 4 AP classes and is currently enrolled in one for senior year. Are these good enough for someone who is out of state?
All Cal States (except SLO) use the eligibility index to rank applicants based on major.
EI= (CSU GPA x800) + (SAT Math+CR).
If your EI is around 3800, you stand a good chance at an acceptance. Intended major does make a difference on your chances for an acceptance also.
Good Luck.
