Hey, I'm in the same boat as you with CSU statistics. All I can tell you is what I did. I emailed all my other school (4 others) and told them I had an offer with an early acceptance date. I got very prompt responses including an acceptance from one and an interview from another within 24 hours. Didn't solve my problem of late visit dates though. I asked for an extension till March 31st and was given till March 11th. Still not useful for other visit days, but at least more time to think and contact grad students at other programs. I understand where CSU is coming from. They want to give the best students offers, so if they wait too late then they're second options might already have chosen some where else. It's a tough game to play. Good luck! Also, CSU covers your all your health insurance, but none of the student fees. I really don't think the stipend in negotiable.
