
The grades you earn in high school are the
most important factor in CSU admission
decisions. Your high school grade point
average is calculated using your grades in
all your college prep a-g classes completed
after the 9th grade.
Test scores are required unless you have a
grade point average above 3.0 and are a
resident of California.
A small percentage of the freshman class may be admitted based on
eligibility index and additional characteristics including first generation
college status, socioeconomic factors, skills or talents that align with
or contribute to special university programs, and evidence of
overcoming educational obstacles
