CSULB ADMISSION WAITLIST 2020

Apparently they started taking people from the waitlist the second to last week of May.

I am transferring from the College of San Mateo (Northern California). I was originally waitlisted for CSULB’s Narrative Production program and I accepted my waitlist position as soon as I found out through the applicant self check thing. Apparently they moved me off it and I got an acceptance letter a week before the end of May informing me that I had 2 weeks to accept the admission offer and I accepted said offer.

From what I can tell you, it may be too late because all incoming transfer students for the FEA Department are scheduled to have a mandatory orientation next week to register for classes.

I don’t know if this helps, but this is what is happening right now.

@kimmflower Yes I was moved off the waitlist and accepted to CSULB. It is odd that they would ask you to send something because I was never asked to send anything. @sourgummies @nemojoes I think the window has closed because all of the incoming transfer Film students for both Narrative Production and Theory and Practice have a mandatory orientation next week. If you are committing to CSUF, I wish you good luck and maybe I might see you around in LA.

@chrsarch wow… it sounds like i didn’t get in :frowning: thank you!

@chrsarch Same goes for CSUF all Broadcast/ Cinema and television arts students have a mandatory orientation this week as well. I knew CSULB wouldn’t take me off the waitlist since I wasn’t given anything further than to check application status weekly. I’m also from the SMCCD system Skyline/ San Mateo so maybe I’ll catch you around LA.

So if I got a email that I should check my portal weekly, does that mean I have a higher chance of getting in?

@happys Telling you to check your portal weekly doesn’t necessarily provide a higher chance of admission. It just sounds like the school is just telling you to check your portal in case you were granted admission so you can accept the offer. They also send an email if you were taken off the waitlist to accept the offer in a limited amount of time. The final mandatory orientation for incoming students is this week so I suspect you will have a definitive answer in the coming weeks. Alternatively you can try checking your application status using this link to see the status of your application:

Thanks for the information, Has anybody gotten off the waitlist because I feel that are chances of getting of f are very slim now SAD.

@happys i wouldn’t lose hope just yet. i talked to someone who got off the waitlist last year and she told me she got her acceptance June 27. its still possible

literally gonna kms if i don’t get in lol

I’m still on the waitlist and I am shaking!

Do you guys know how long the waitlist will go on, I am so nervous.

I’m still on the waitlist for CSULB and I’m getting more and more anxious by the day. Didn’t the original email say we’d hear by early June? I’m committed to CSUF but I really want to hear back from Long Beach.

i’ve already registered for classes at csuf. csulb is taking WAY too long! at this point, fall 2020 classes are probably already all filled now.

@happys
Still on the waitlist also. About two weeks ago I called enrollment services to check my application status, and what they had told me was that they were waiting on me to send in my final transcripts. Which was weird because they never notified me about anything. They also had said that the final decision for admission would be first two weeks of July. I would just call tbh, just to make sure you aren’t missing anything.

hey everyone, like @kimmflower said, i just called and they said they had a meeting and made a final deadline of july 15 to give everyone their final decisions. so dont give up, its not too late. goodluck!

@sourgummies did they say they would give all decisions on the 15th or by the 15th?

@Jumperman321 it wasn’t clear. but you should get a decision via email by july 15 latest.

@sourgummies Yeah it’s taking them a lot of time. Hopefully they take us all. Good luck to you and please keep us all updated.

@Jumperman321 thank you. goodluck to you as well ! let us know if you get in.

has anyone heard anything yet? its almost the 15th and nothing…
