kneecoal Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 If I may ask, what made you choose CSUF over CSULB? I'm trying to decide between the two right now and feel stuck. Well I currently attend CSUF, I am a psychology major graduating this semester and honestly only attended CSUF (as a transfer student) because my father got sick and so I really wanted to go somewhere else (I dunno why honestly)... I heard great things of CSULB (as a school) as I know people that go there for other grad studies so I applied because of the prestige of the program. After attending a carnival our school hosted this last week I talked to graduating MSW students and they too turned down CSULB because of the class size. CSUF class size is about 30 and CSUF does not accept as many students as CSULB does so that is my main selling point. If I am going into a specialized area in grad studies I want to be sure I am known by first name and get the attention I feel I deserve. I only applied to those two and CSUF is my choice now. Its up to you... People seem turned off by CSUF because of their ranking, but CSUF is newly accredited so I feel it is an advantage also because they have been newly reviewed so I feel that they are up to par as far as standards to the accreditation. Its up to you though... those are just my points because I too was going back and forth because I was so set on going to CSULB... haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkhairpinklips Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 May I ask what your stats are and what is your major concentration? What is the class size of csulb, I didn't know about csuf until after the deadline, otherwise I would've applied. Congrats! I just got an acceptance email to CSULB today, I did however change my mind and am accepting CSUF. Best of luck to the rest of you all!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talkinlikeateen Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Class sizes aren't large at CSULB. Yes there are a lot of admits but they're split between advanced standing, two year and three year. There are quite a few sections and people have classes on different days throughout the week. I don't think class sizes will exceed 25 students. They never did with the BASW classes at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talkinlikeateen Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I'm not sure per concentration. I think in total there are roughly 300 admits per year. 30 are advanced standing, and I believe it's about 260 between two and three year. Don't quote me on that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliGirl-MSW Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 CSUN was my first choice. I also applied to CSULB but haven't heard back from then yet. I submitted my application on the last day for both schools. CSULB waitlisted me, and my other programs were just not as small and affordable as CSUN. Yay, we'll all be meeting each other tomorrow!

Kendall22 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Has anyone been rejected to CSULA or CSULB? I turned my application for both schools the day they were due and I don't know if this is why I haven't heard back. Could they still be reviewing apps or do they wait till the end to send rejection letters? I called CSULB and they told me I have to wait for the email. First they said sometime in April and now they are saying sometime May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susiegrimm Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Hi everyone! I was just offered admission to CSULB for the Fall 2013 term on 4/28! Hi, Can I ask what was your GPA, work experience, and what day did you turn in your application? I applied to CSULB and I havent heard anything yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali1989 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I turned my application in to CSULB on the deadline date, on February 15 and have not heard anything back yet. My GPA is 3.0, my undergrad is in Sociology, and I have 4 years experience working full time in non-profit education and grant writing. Waiting to hear back is driving me nuts! I don't know where I stand in comparison with other students. I feel like a 3.0 is a low GPA...but I'm not even sure about that. Has anyone gotten in to CSULB with a background similar to this? This blog is great btw! It's nice to have a community to help talk about something that people around you really don't know anything about.

nxl040904 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I am! What track are you? Hi! I won't be attending b/c I live in NYC. Do you think after the meeting you can write me back and tell me what happened and if there is anything imperative I should know about before registering for classes? (I am CYF track.....different...but I think the info would be basically the same.) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I am CYF track.....different...but I think the info would be basically the same.) Thanks! No problem! I think it's just a general overview of the next 2 years (or 3 if you're on that track), talking about the university, I believe we get the applications for our internships. I don't know if we get the classes we're assigned to there or if they e-mail it to us. I'll let you know either way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
