Thank you for applying to San Francisco State University.

As you may know, due to limited resources, S.F. State is not able to admit all eligible applicants. We must give priority to applicants from our local area. San Francisco State’s local admissions area includes the six Bay Area counties: San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, and Santa Clara.

Upper-division transfer applicants transferring from schools outside of this area are currently being admitted at a 3.3 GPA or higher.

According to the information on your application, you do not have a 3.3 GPA. If you believe that the GPA on your application was inaccurate and you do currently have a 3.3 or higher GPA, please submit all college transcripts showing grades through the Fall 2012 semester.

I only have a 3.0 GPA, so does this mean that I am automatically denied because I do not live in those local areas… !?
Any response will be appreciated.
