Anyone know what GPA Cal State Long Beach generally accepts? I have heard people get accepted with 2.6-3.4. Can anyone share experiences or possibly know of someone who attends?

My GPA isn't the greatest and I'm trying to get an idea of my chances.

I heard average was 3.40 or so.

If you are from the CSULB service area you can probably get in with a high 2.X. Outside the service area you likely need something north of 3.5. It will also depend on your intended major.

What do you mean by service area? Like surrounding area? Or like schools they have have agreements with?

Cal States often have agreements with high schools in their general area that specifies if a student has a some minimum GPA and they apply to their school they are accepted automatically. No SAT/ACT required.

My son's high school is in the Cal State Fullerton service area. The agreement with his high school is for a minimum 2.8 GPA. Many students use this as a safety.

Your GC should no if one exists between your HS and a Cal State.

I'm from the SF Bay Area and have a high 2.x GPA, with a legit ACT score 28-32, would I have a chance to get in for Film?
