6. Schools with Admissions Standards above the CSU minimum
When the number of applications received by a CSU campus from qualified applicants is greater than the number of available spaces, a campus is considered “impacted” for undergraduate degree programs or for undergraduate students who apply from outside the local admission area.
All undergraduate programs, pre-programs, and undeclared/undecided programs are impacted for the following campuses:
Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
Fresno State
CSU Fullerton
CSU Long Beach
San Diego State University
San José State
ALL of you should apply to CSU Pomona and CSUSB, as they are the local admission & serving institutions for CVUSD students….and you have priority admission over students from other counties/areas!
