How drastically does the local area criteria affect CSU admissions?

Yeah the applicant will have a good chance, depending on the major the applicant applied to. Some majors are more impacted than others and CSUs evaluate applications based on the applicant pool for the major. It will also help if the applicant is still in-state.

However, from my understanding, the local applicants will have priority in admissions since they are from the local service area. This basically means that local applicants who meet the minimum requirements are automatically accepted.
