SDSU has gotten quite selective over the last several years.

Like it or not, they don’t care about the rigor of your Sr classes, ECs, letters of rec or anything - as long as you complete the prescribed a-g curriculim.

They use a simple formula to combine your GPA and SAT (and they only count a-g classes from 10 and 11 and ignore +/- in your CSU GPA - this tends to bring peoples GPA down a bit)

Calulate your CSU GPA here:
[CSUMentor - Plan for College - High School Students - GPA Calculator](Cal State Apply | CSU)

CSU GPA * 800 + SAT M&R = CSU Index

With a 3.57 and a 1050, you’ll have an index of 3906.

Last year, their cutoff for non-local students was around 4100. It seems to creep up a little each year.

You need to shoot for a 1250+ M+R SAT to have a good shot of getting in.

Please keep an open mind and apply to several other schools.
