Hi all,
Have been following your conversations for a month now. Thank you for helping me stay sane during the waiting process.
I just found out via SFSU's website today that I have been accepted. That was a real curve ball.
I also talked to Lyn at CSU EB today and she said they're currently reviewing February applicants and that I (who applied in Feb. but had a hiccup that didn't register my application complete until March) would not hear for another couple weeks. CSU EB had been my top choice after getting rejected from Berkeley until I got into SFSU today (which would have been my top choice, but I just didn't think I stood a chance of getting in).
Any insights into whether or not it would be worth going to CSU EB over SFSU? Do you know if one carries more weight than the other when it comes to getting jobs? Any advice?
A little background: I was an English major at a prestigious private college, 3.7 gpa, did Peace Corps working in agriculture afterward, have volunteered but have no paid social services experience, applied to and was rejected from UCB and SFSU last year, volunteered at a hospital and Hospice this last year.
Again, thank you all for keeping me sane.
