I got rejected.

These were my stats:
3.15 gpa
1120 sat(CR:530, M:590)
Biological sciences.

Post your stats if you were rejected.

I am surprised that you were rejected. The Princ***n Re**ew site lists the average GPA at 3.34 and SAT at 978 (average for being accepted). Thus you are well over for the SAT but slightly below for the GPA. Maybe the standards are getting harder?

You should call admissions and find out why you were rejected. It is possible they made an error. They originally rejected my daughter becasue they had a problem with her foreign language credit. They told her to write a letter of appeal and to enclose a transcript. About 10 days later they admitted her. Her stats are very similar to yours, so you should go for it.

Yeah you should definatly double check with them. I got in out of state with a 2.95 and 1850.

I have a question because i called admissions and they told me it was because of my eligibility index that i didn't get acceepted. She told me that my eligibility index was 3480 or something like that and that the cut off was 3500. Is the eligibilty index the same as the one that is used on SDSU's web site because on that i get a 3640? If so, is it posible that Fs and Ds are part of the gpa even though I've rataken those courses in summer school, becauase if it's not then I didn't have a 3.15 and that could have been the reason why I was rejected.

the eligibility index should be the same. I would write a letter of appeal and include your high school transcript (in a sealed envelope from your high school). See if you can review your application (on CSU mentor) and make sure you didn't report the old grades. They are supposed to count only the retaken grades, not the original ones. However, if you put the original ones on your app instead of just the retaken ones, they might have averaged them in. It is also possible that they recorded your SAT scores wrong. You should ask them what they have for your scores. Don't give up. Based on my daughter's experience, they will correct their errors if they were wrong.

Were you applying for a specific major? I would pursue this if you are truly interested in CSULB.
Have you visited the school? Did you like it? Is it where you want to go?
