Chances at some CSUs

Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>I’m a junior, I have a 2.6 GPA, so its a bit low, but I still have 2 more semester to bring it up around a 2.8. I go to one of the top catholic schools in San Francisco. My PSAt was pretty high at a 198. I’ll be taking both the ACT and SAT.</p>

<p>So, I got kind of screwed with classes in my frosh year so my classes are a bit weak i guess.</p>

<p>Heres my senior class schedule:</p>

<p>English 4 (4th Year)
History (3rd Year)
Spanish 3 (3rd Year)
Algebra 2 (3rd Year) Took Algebra in 8th grade and recieved a C+, then B-, then got forced into Intro ALG in 9nth, whatever.
Physiology</p>

<p>I decided to take physio since I am into that and am a certified personal trainer at a gym. So what are my chances of I get an ACT score at around 25 and SAT at around 2000?</p>

<p>I’ll be applying to:</p>

<p>SDSU
Chico
ASU
LBSU
SFSU
USF
Sac ST</p>

<p>Then possibly some UCs like Riverside, I’d like to apply to Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara but I don’t think I’ve got enough to get in.</p>

<p>if your SAT is 2000, thats wayyyyy better than a 25 on the ACT…and im pretty sure you are required to have above a 3.0 for CSU’s to consider you, so you better work hard this semester</p>

<p>I dont really know enough about the schools to chance you though</p>

3

<p>No, I believe its a 2.5 for CSU and Uc’s.</p>

4

<p>I just checked the UC website, the minimum requirement is 3.0</p>

<p>And I checked CSU’s, you only need a 2.0 I guess, but still, you defnitely want to have a GPA above 3.0, especially for SDSU</p>

5

<p>CSU’s you need at least a 18 on the ACT or 820 (out of 1600 I think) on the SAT for consideration. For the UC’s you need at least a 3.0 (And I think that is at the time that you apply)</p>

6

<p>You should be able to get into Chico. My friend had a 2.8 and not great SAT scores and got in there and some of the other Cal. States. Keep up the grades – if you get a 3.0 your in no matter what your SAT or ACT is for most of the Cal. States.</p>

7

<p>you will almost certainly get into SFSU its really easy</p>

<p>With a high SAT score, (like anything at 1800 or above):</p>

<p>SDSU–reach
Chico–match
ASU–slight reach
LBSU–match
SFSU–safe match to match
USF–match to slight reach
Sac ST–match</p>

<p>With a 2000 on the SAT, I would expect you to be accepted at all of these schools.</p>

<p>You should also consider Sonoma State or Fullerton State–Sonoma in particular is a really good school.</p>

<p>P.S. I went to CSULB even though I was also accepted to Brown, then I went on to UCLA to get my MBA, so just work hard and you’ll be very successful in life–and don’t let the slightly lower 2.5 GPA bother you. (Even Steven Spielberg went to CSULB when he was rejected from USC and UCLA–and I think he’s done quite nicely).</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>csulb is not a match when chico is also… csulb much more difficult to gain admission to than chico.</p>

10

<p>Ya but with a good SAT score I could get into either, with above an 1800 score Chico could possibly be a match slight safety. Also, I want to major in some type of business, will that hurt my chances if i apply to somewhere like San Diego State? Also, for the reaches and matches. Whats the percen that I’ll get in, are matches just somewhere over 50%?</p>

11

<p>Allright, I think I’ll be applying to Oregon U also. They hve some Warsaw sports MBA thing? I’ll have to look into it.</p>
