Hi everyone, I'm planning to transfer to a Cal State university from my community college. I'm researching my options and I want to know what the transfer acceptance rates are like across the Cal State system. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hello! Transfer acceptance rates can vary across the Cal State system, but I'll provide you with a general overview of some of the campuses. Keep in mind that these acceptance rates can change each year, and it's always a good idea to check the university's website or contact their admissions office for the most up-to-date information.
Here are transfer acceptance rates for a few of the Cal State campuses:
1. Cal State Fullerton: Approximately 36%.
2. Cal State Long Beach: Around 33%.
3. San Diego State University: Roughly 19%.
4. San Francisco State University: About 51%.
5. Cal State Los Angeles: Around 54%.
6. Cal State Northridge: Approximately 53%.
These are just a few examples of the 23 campuses within the Cal State system. Keep in mind that each campus has its own unique programs, areas of focus, and campus culture, so it's a good idea to explore different campuses to find the one that best fits your goals and interests. Also, if you haven't already, look into the Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) program, which guarantees certain California community college students admission to a CSU campus. By earning an ADT, you not only receive priority admission to the CSU system but may also be granted certain benefits, such as a lower unit requirement upon transferring.
I wish you the best of luck with your transfer application!
