Hearing through the grapevine, someone I know was also accepted to CSULB today. From what I heard from his stats, he had a high G.P.A. with only volunteer experience. I'm still here waiting to hear a response. I applied almost at the deadline in February.
Can you provide stats? I was also rejected from CSUN. Also rejected from CSULA. That last two school I applied to CSULB and UCLA seem like long shots now.
I turned in my application on Monday. From all the places I have applied to, CSULB seemed to have the most lively atmosphere. Not sure you can gauge a campus just on a quick visit. CSULA seemed much more calm. Also felt like it had a small campus feel. Not sure if it's true or not since these is an opinion based on a couple of quick visits.
