Hey peeps, I'm currently wrapping up my second year at community college and considering transferring to Long Beach State. Has anyone recently gone down this path? Can someone shed some light on the transfer acceptance rate? Are there any specific requirements I should know about? Kinda stressed cuz there seems to be so much info out there. Thanks y'all!
The transfer acceptance rate for Long Beach State or CSU Long Beach can vary each year, but in recent times it has typically hovered around 33%-48%. However, please note that this can change based on the number and quality of applicants each year.
In terms of specific transfer requirements, CSU Long Beach generally looks for students who have completed at least 60 transferable semester (or 90 quarter) units and have a college GPA of at least 2.00. Bear in mind that some majors may require a higher GPA or specific prerequisites. You can check out the University's 'Transfer Admission Criteria' webpage to get a better idea about individual major requirements.
Remember to submit your application for Fall admission between October 1 and November 30 as that is the application filing period for the CSU system.
Finally, it could be helpful to check out resources, like CollegeVine, that can help clarify some of the information you're seeing and give a clearer picture of what you need to do as a transfer applicant. Blogs and forums have a lot of great transfer-related advice. Take deep breaths and take it step by step! Good luck with your transfer process.
