Just awesome to see the SDSU acceptances coming. The CSU cycle is kicking up. Congrats to allâŠenjoy San Diego!
How and where are you guys seeing CSU GPA? it my application I see two GPAs. one for high school and one for community college classes (shows this as transfer GPA).
What is their intended major?
If an applicant takes CSU transferable College courses, the CSU application does not include these courses in the CSU GPA calculation so you have to recalculate for an accurate CSU GPA.
I am not sure the full range of stats for in state vs. OOS. My daughter has 4.15 with an array of dual credit and IB classes. If we were not willing to pay out of state tuition, would she not qualify for SDSU?
Based on the CSU counselor conference the average overall admitted CSU GPA for SDSU in 2023 was a 4.04. This can vary based on intended major since SDSU admits by major but a 4.15 CSU GPA is competitive.
Are you saying that your daughter was admitted as an OOS student but you are not willing to pay OOS tuition?
I guess I misunderstood the post. Thought OP was asking if a 4.15 GPA would be good enough to qualify for SDSU admission???
If you do decide to enroll, your first semester bill will automatically have the OOS fees added. If you donât pay, you get dropped. So if you applied as OOS, registrar will already know how to bill you.
I suppose someone could try to game the system, after all itâs a numerator/denominator to assume OOS gets in easier. But that would mean lying on the application.
But I think you are responding to another poster. Those who are angry at OOS students who appear to taking up spots that should go to in-state kids are forgetting this is done by some design. It actually benefits in-state kids to have peers from OOS as to avoid inbreeding. College is not like HS and nobody should walk into a college campus and see all their HS friends and classmates. Also benefits the state to have OOS kids come in and stay after graduation. Even if they leave, itâs good for âbranding.â
It is just unfortunate CSU doesnât have a same allure to pull in huge numbers of applicants to fill some percentage of student body, so numerator/denominator works out as to appear CSU favors OOS applicants when in reality it is just not attracting the larger numbers like other state flagships.
Hypothetically if one kid applies and gets in, then opponents will say OOS acceptance rate is 100% ⊠quoting a straight percentage without looking at total number as posted by Gumbymom is one of the biggest fallacy in this IS/OOS argument.
ISCOR. likes it -but also slightly intimidated by it and curious what a job would look like in that field
An anyone lend support in how housing deposits work at SDSU? D24 is accepted, but will also apply to Weber. Still waiting to hear back from Chapman, which uses common app, and we would be financial aid dependent at Chapman. With FAFSA pushed to March, we may know very late about costs and are stressed in making a choice. Does SDSU allow a housing deposit before/separate from enrollment? I am so confused by all the deposit rules. We are also accepted at CSUN, which is a financial safety for us.
You need to enroll at SDSU then you apply for housing once the housing application opens.
Housing deposit is separate.
The 2024-25 academic year license agreement will be available on the Housing Portal beginning March 1, 2024.
Incoming first-year students who are required to live on campus must complete the student housing license agreement and submit the initial non-refundable payment fee on the Housing Portal by May 1, 2024.
Thanks so much!
If your concern is to guarantee on-campus housing, this is not an issue if your student is coming from outside the local SD area. All non-locals are required to live on-campus for the first 2 years, so the school makes sure to have enough beds for the non-locals.
Thank you! That is good to know. Some friends have kids in schools across the country who thought they were guaranteed housing, but ended up scrambling or in converted hotels due to poor post-pandemic housing planning. We are also getting floods of housing emails from other schools. Hopefully thatâs all behind us, and good to know it wonât be a problem at SDSU.
Daughter got an email last Friday.

She applied on the last day and heard on Feb. 2, so just wanted to put it out that there are still responses coming in as we get toward March when it sounds like the bulk are released.
@7by11 SO many ways to calculate GPA ⊠my daughterâs official transcript has LAUSD [LA Unified School District] (W), LAUSD (UNW), Athletic Eligibility, UC (Capped), UC (W), UC ELC [I donât even know what that is], CSU, NCAA Core, Financial Aid (Initial), Financial Aid (Post), and SSB ELA Coursework. Eleven GPAs, and theyâre all different!
Wow, I think my kidâs has four: 10-12 Total GPA; 10-12 Total WGPA; 10-12 WGPA w/o PE; 9-12 Total WGPA.
Your daughterâs official transcript is wild! So what were you advised to put as a GPA on applications?
Congratulations on the acceptance!
UC ELC is Eligibility in Local Context. If an ELC student is not admitted to one of the UCs that they applied to, they are guaranteed admission into a UC campus that has space (ie. Merced).
