@TotallyNotG: No, OOS applicants do not have to submit essays or list their EC’s. The application is not different than in-state applicants. Only difference is that OOS students pay double Cost of attendance so the $$$ factor.
OOS applicants are in a separate admissions pool so less applicants, less competition, higher admit rates since few matriculate due to costs.
Congrats!! Still waiting in MN with an ACT of 31 and GPA of 3.9. Glad to know there will be other Minnesotans there!!
Congrats to all accepted so far! Still hoping my DD gets in (I’m an SDSU Alum!). We are instate and she has a CSU of 4.4 and SAT 1320/ACT 28, so keeping my fingers crossed that they release more acceptances.

Son just admitted to pre-CS major; ACT 34 and 4.33 (W) 3.82 (UW) - but not sure of CSU GPA - will have total of 11 APs - 5 completed so far - with four 5s and one 4. V good essays - good ECs. 770 SAT Math subject test. Northern California. Congratulations to everyone who has been admitted so far. Now will do app for Honors College
@kikiob You are correct in that the Cal State system does require essay and ECs - but other colleges want this - so just put it down out of habit. There is information that about 300 students enter the Honors college each year - not sure if that is a limit.
Is it likely any more early admissions will come out are we waiting until March at this point?
@ejmcacmc2020: I think the all the early admission acceptances wil be complete by Friday December 20th and then the next big wave will be in Late February/Early March.
Chance me
From Rhode Island
Gpa- 4.08
5 AP
SAT- 1130
EI- 4394
Intended major- marketing
Do I have a good chance? does being from Rhode Island help?
@simmer3454: Being from Rhode Island helps in that you are a full pay OOS student. Your SAT is a bit on the low side but within range for SDSU along with your EI (average 4459). It will all depend upon how your EI stacks up against the other OOS Marketing applicants.
Best of luck.
For the people who majored in biology and got in for early decision was it a BA or a BS in biology? I applied for a BS and my application says pending. I have an EI of 4600 and im also from San Diego.
I found out I was accepted yesterday and I am applying to Weber. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could chance me for the Honors College.
Business Major
GPA- 4.05
ACT-30
6 AP/ 2 Honors
Thanks so much! Congratulations to everyone who has been notified of acceptance and best wishes to those still waiting
@zaiddibis My son applied for a B.S. in biology and got admitted yesterday. His EI is pretty close to yours (3.94 CSU GPA/34 ACT).
D. accepted yesterday afternoon.

4.04 CSU GPA
Liberal arts

Does it hurt that I would need a lot of financial aid to attend?
Also does SDSU allow supplemental material considering I am class President
@simmer3454 I don’t think they take financial need into consideration. And they do not consider extra curricular activities for regular admission.
Ok, is it too much of a reach for me
4.08
1130
EI- 4359
@simmer3454: You are within range but it really depends upon how your EI stacks up against all the other applicants for your major since they admit by EI and major. No supplemental documents can be submitted.
Cal States are need-blind which means they do not take your finances into consideration for admission purposes however, since you are an OOS applicant, you will be full pay at around $40K/year. Cal states offer no financial aid for OOS applicants other than Federal aid (Pell grant and student loans) if you are eligible so you are looking at a $$ gap of around $30K/year. How did you plan to pay if you are in need of FA?
