I got into CSUF and in my portal it says “Congratulations, you have been admitted with distinction to Cal State Fullerton!”
What does “with distinction” mean?
My stats are
GPA: 3.85
Major: Criminal Justice
Golden four: Completed.
IGETC: Done at the end of this term
Congrats! Here’s the info:
ADMISSION WITH DISTINCTION
“Admission with Distinction” is awarded to a freshman or transfer student who has demonstrated outstanding achievement in past academic work. For first-time freshmen with no previous college units earned, a grade point average of 3.50 on a four-point scale must be earned in the coursework considered for admission to the university. Students who have completed fewer than 60 transferable semester units of credit must meet the grade point average for first-time freshmen and must also have earned a 3.5 grade point average on all transferable college work attempted. Students who have completed 60 or more transferable semester units are eligible, if a grade point average of 3.5 is earned in all transferable college work completed."

My D2 was admitted with Distinction as FTF in early Dec. and this week received an invitation to apply to Honors College. Perhaps you will receive that as well!
