Coming from California, I saw many marginal, but rather wealthy, students, for whom the UCs (except Merced and Riverside) were impossible dreams choose ASU. I spoke with two and both applied to its business school but were accepted as undeclared majors in whatever ASU’s B-school is.

<p>Among California publics, business as an undergraduate major is offered at Berkeley and Riverside among the UCs, plus most of the CSUs. Perhaps those students did not have any chance at Berkeley, but turned up their noses to Riverside and the CSUs?</p>

<p>However, “marginal” student would be a better description for someone at or near the bottom edge of CSU eligibility (e.g. 2.5 HS GPA and 900 SAT CR+M) rather than someone who could “only” get into Riverside.</p>
