I’m an out-of-state applicant from Mass. My weighted GPA is a 3.33 but I plan on getting it up to a 3.4 by the end of senior year. I’m not sure what my CSU GPA is though, but I’ve taken all the a-g courses and am mainly a B average student. I’ve taken several honors courses and one AP course. I got a 1190 on my SATS which I understand is above the SDSU average (1090), and I am taking them one last time and hoping to get above a 1200. I want to major in English which is an unpopular and hopefully uncompetitive major so hopefully that will help as well. I wrote a kickass college essay, have really good letters of recs, and extra curriculars but SDSU only looks at the numbers so those won’t help. Their 34% acceptance rate, emphasis on course rigor, and GPA average of a 3.69 worries me. Can I get in?
