@lenocturne - All incoming SDSU students are admitted as “pre-majors.” Basically, you keep that status until you complete all of SDSU’s prerequisites for the major. From SDSU’s general catalog (Page 19): “Impacted Programs - The CSU designates programs as impacted when more applications from regularly eligible applicants are received in the initial filing period (October and November) than can be accommodated. All majors at San Diego State University are impacted. Students who are admitted to SDSU are placed in a premajor (including undeclared). All premajors must meet department-specific criteria to move from the premajor to the major, such as a specified minimum grade point average, completion of prerequisite courses, tests, and completion of a certain number of units.” For complete details, here’s a link to this year’s general catalog - http://arweb.sdsu.edu/es/catalog/2015-16/2015-16GeneralCatalog.pdf
