@pandasa I am currently an undergraduate student going into my fourth year.

Also @pandasa... not sure if you checked out this page yet about taking online pre-reqs

Hi everyone! There are people that replied. @Chandru1 I feel like most CA schools aren't that lenient at all mainly because they have such a big applicant pool with many people who have higher GPA's. It's unfortunate that CA programs aren't ranked that high but are still so competitive. @alecvdpoel and @Chandru1 I heard it's easier to get in as Post-Bac. My friend from CSF didn't get in first time around but got into San Jose this time and it seems like San Jose is a pretty picky school. So chin up, it seems like you guys have a good chance. @pandasa I'm not super knowledgeable about your situation but it seems logical that it would be to your advantage to take a few prerequisite courses so you'll 1) feel more prepared for the field going in and 2) save some time and money. Also your Q score is pretty good and since schools only look at your top scores just focus on verbal and writing this time around. And Chandru1 is right, SDSU recently changed their policy regarding out of field. It's a little bit confusing on their website because one place says that you can but there's another page where they state that there is no longer this option. I know U of Pacific still offers out of field 24-month program. Overall I have heard that sometimes it might be wise to go out of state, get your degree, practice for two years and them come back with experience. Or if you can figure out a way to get an externship out here in CA you can just get licensed for CA and it won't matter that you're at a school out of state.

Hey guys... I know I'm starting super early and probably won't get too many responses for now but just wanted to keep myself accountable and also prepared for the next 8-9 months of the agony which we call the graduate application and admission process. I just finished taking my GRE today and the scores are decent but I feel like I can do better. My top choices for schools as of right are University of Pacific, SDSU and CSULB. I'm hoping I can get in to one of them! Where are you applying to?
