What is your local in-service area CSU? Your local CSU would make a good safety if their CS major is not impacted.

Some school suggestions are Dominguez Hills, Northridge, Los Angeles, Channel Islands, San Marcos and San Bernardino.

Test scores will not be considered in the 2021 admission cycle for the Cal States.

Another option is to attend your local community college and excel there so you can transfer to a preferred CSU or UC.

California residents and graduates of California high schools will be eligible for admission by earning a 2.50 or greater “a-g" GPA.

Any California high school graduate or resident of California earning a GPA between 2.00 and 2.49 may be evaluated for admission based upon supplemental factors such as number of courses exceeding minimum “a-g" requirements, household income, extracurricular involvement, and other available information that would inform the campus admission decision. Each CSU campus will determine the supplemental factors used with GPA to determine eligibility in these cases and communicate these criteria publicly for prospective students.

Non-California residents may be eligible for admission to the CSU by earning a 3.00 or greater “a-g" GPA along with other supplemental factors utilized by the individual campus, including those outlined by impacted campuses and programs.

Campuses and programs designated as impacted may utilize higher “a-g" GPA thresholds for applicants, as well as identify supplemental criteria and their relative weights, in making admission decisions. However, in no case will standardized test scores be utilized in making admissions decisions for applicants during the 2021-2022 academic year.
