Hey Nostromo, congratulations on CSULA! I feel like we're kind of in the same boat , i'm a UCI psych grad, 3.7 GPA, a little clinical experience as well, and I also applied to CSULB a few days before the deadline haha. I called them about 2 week ago and they told me the same thing about 8 weeks, but that would have meant we would have heard a week ago from them so i'm not entirely sure when we'll hear back unfortunately.
As far as the programs go CSULA's program technically is ranked #64 on USNews and CSULB is ranked #78, not that big of a difference but I believe CSULB is more impacted and more applied to and i have no idea experience-wise but i'm sure whatever you chose will be a good choice!
