How hard is it to get into csu east bay ?
You previously posted your Stats as
And most of the answers indicated that you should try community college to accustom yourself to college level coursework. You appear bound and determined to go to a four-year university. I personally do not believe you are ready for it. I also don’t think you will get in anywhere because your stats currently show that you are not capable of doing university level work.
The universities go at faster speeds. They expect you to have read the assignment and that you have become familiar with the topic BEFORE the class starts because the lecture MAY/MAY NOT allude to what was read. The professors don’t continually tell you when assignments are due, what you’ve missed, what your grades are, etc. In other words, they treat you like an adult.
You have to be proactive and independent by
following the syllabus,
going to office hours, paying for tutoring
forming your own study groups,
buying your own books,
bringing required materials: scantrons/blue books/clickers etc. to class
Attending classes and taking good notes.
Excuses don’t work in a university setting: “I didn’t know”, “I had to work”, “I didn’t understand the lecture”
They don’t do drama. You get an F, that’s your grade. They typically don’t do makeups.
The professors job is to lecture/teach on his/her schedule, your job is to do everything else on your own.
You really need to consider a CC, regardless of who is telling you that CCs aren’t good. You’re showing that you really don’t know anything about California’s educational system. Lots of bright kids (“A” students) whose parents can’t afford our universities, go to the CCs to SAVE thousands of dollars on their education. That leaves them only two years of university education to pay.
Okay I messed up but who says I’m didin’t learn from my mistakes? I currently have a 3.7 and I’m more focused than ever , and I know how college classes work, I’ve been in AP’s and honors classes. I’m only trying to succeed and get somewhere. I’ve considered CC, it’s a back up plan and I’ve done much research on it but if it would be possible to get in into a csu it would be great. So thanks for your imput.

The universities look very closely at 10th and 11th grades. If nothing will change since your previous post, you are going to have a hard time getting into any university.
Didn’t school just start? How is it that you already have a 3.7 in your senior year calculation? I’m glad you’ve improved your grades, but your SAT needs to be competitive as well.
I’m retaking my SAT and studying super hard.
And I’m currently taking classes to read make the bad grades I had
http://www.calstate.edu/sas/impactionsearch/ indicates that CSUEB is not impacted for frosh, and that its only impacted major is nursing.
So if your major is not nursing, meeting baseline CSU eligibility (a-g courses, GPA and test score eligibility) should be sufficient for frosh admission.

Since I want to major in psych would I have a chance to get in with the a - g requierments done and slight good sat scores
not sure what a ‘slight good sat’ is but, an improved SAT score could help.
CSUs evaluate students with a CSU Index -they take your GPA * 800 + SAT. Note they use your CSU GPA and only Math and Reading SAT sections. Read about it here:

Non- impacted schools like CSUEB look for a 2900 EI.
I don’t know your CSU GPA and SAT breakdown so, i don;t know where you stand but, it looks like you might be a little short of 2900 and a few more SAT points might put you over the top.
A CC is a viable answer - and may be a better place to start your college career. They are much cheaper, do a better job with make-up classes and stud skill development, and allow you to develop a fresh academic record.
Many moons ago I went to a CC, transferred to a CSU in 2 years, graduated 2 years later - went on to earn an MBA and have been pretty successful in my career so far. Peers from my CC have moved on to be Dr’s, teachers, lawyers, successful business owners, senior execs at top companies - a few are even stay at home moms… That path still works for really motivated people. Your current grades suggest you are plenty capable… now you gotta do the work.
Good luck.
