SDSU and Letters of Recommendation

Hey there, I'm a junior planning on applying to SDSU. I was just wondering if they require letters of recommendation for their undergraduate admissions?

San Diego State University (SDSU) does not typically require letters of recommendation for most undergraduate admission applications. It's part of the California State University (CSU) system, and like all CSUs, SDSU generally doesn't ask for recommendations during the initial application process.

However, there may be exceptions to this rule. Certain programs or scholarships might ask for letters, but this is the exception, not the rule. If you're applying to a specific program that does require letters of recommendation, the information will be outlined in the program's application procedures. So, if you're applying for any specialized programs or scholarships at SDSU, double-check their requirements just to be sure.

But for the general application, you can focus your efforts on other key components like your GPA, extracurricular involvement, and any required essays or personal statements. Just make sure to check the exact requirements on the SDSU admissions website or contact the admissions office directly for the most accurate information.
