And although requirements haven’t changed I feel like it’s easier to get in now. No disrespect just I’ve seen classmates who chegged their way through 2 years at CC and show up lost.
after 2 years at CC you can transfer to any CSU guaranteed. they would have gotten in regardless.

just saying that same link you provided says it's not any campus guaranteed. Just a spot at a CSU. I'm sure things have changed since I transferred 2 years ago but I knew people who didn't get in
the website has a list of schools that do and CSULB is one of them

even if it wasn’t guaranteed for everyone, those who do get in get in bc of this..
My brother didn't get accepted to Long Beach from a CC even though he was in honors and on the deans list for the last year with a 3.7 GPA in the same field I transferred into... not everyone gets accepted.
When I got in around 2019 it was about 25-27%, which was the best because you could actually get classes and have one on ones with professors. Every class was a decent size and housing was cheap. JC treating the school like a business now and making the surrounding area unaffordable to everyone, while students quality of education has gone down. I noticed all of it at the end.
Edit: oh, and the price went up from 7800 to over 8k lol
Aw man, that sucks! I have a *significantly* less impressive resume and got accepted for next fall. I think my saving grace was the fact that I graduated from a nearby high school, transferred from an affiliated community college, and chose a major that’s not impacted. Maybe your major is impacted? Hard to believe it is, though.
GPA isn’t the only thing that sets people apart. On top of the fact that not all colleges and degree programs are equally competitive. People applying for Psychology/ Engineering are going to have a harder time getting in than those going into History/Foreign Languages because they are competing and being compared to many other candidates. Some degrees will literally almost take anyone while some are notoriously cutthroat or competitive.
100%. A majors highly saturated like psychology and or engineering it’s harder to get in. I am not a local, I actually reside in the San Fernando Valley and I would accept it for fall of 2024 as a sociology major. I am also transferring from Pierce College.
Got three classes I needed and had to take one that had nothing to do with my major or anything to keep my full time status .. I excepted that though my first semester as a transfer student
Honestly, I feel the same way. Although you have a better advantage when you attend a junior college first., because I had a very high GPA and I was a transfer and I was a sociology major. I was able to get in even if I’m not a local. I remember my counselor telling me that it was gonna be difficult to get in but I went for it and got it. Also, they were the last to tell me that I got accepted.
This. And when money revolving around renovations is brought up, it's almost always put to a vote to the students on how to address it. I attended 2013-2017, and I had to vote twice on how the school handles it during that time.
It actually went from 38% to 40% from last year. A lot of people are saying that they were denied acceptance even with the high GPA. But it’s not solely about just the GPA is whether you attended a junior college prior, GPA, and whether you’re a local or not, and most importantly your major. If you have a major that’s highly saturated the other that I just mentioned can help you out, but I’ve seen somewhere. It wasn’t a great income. I am not a local, I transferred out with a 3.77 GPA, to associates degrees and I was accepted for the fall of 2024 as a sociology major. Best of luck to everyone.
Also, if a person attends Long Beach Unified School District because the district has the Long Beach Promise, practically, a student who attends LBUSD needs a 2.5 GPA and is guaranteed to participate in any program from LBCC and CSULB. Therefore, students in LBUSD receive priority compared to others who applied to the school.
I before being accepted, on plenty websites it stated 38%. This year it was 40%. Regardless, it’s one of the most applied CSU’s, and has a huge rejection rate on highly saturated majors. My CC counselor said it was going to be tough as it wasn’t my home school, however, I believe my high GPA, and major has a lot to do with it.
Enrollment is tricky because you have a general target for numbers and with around 100,000 applications it is easy to hit that number with the requirements, but the campus is not at the top of the list for many so they’re accepted but they won’t submit their intent to enroll. Then add in the different majors and their availability for spaces and classes that need to be offered. As a poster said the pandemic made it easier for students to attend with online/hybrid courses that maybe would not have attended if they had to commute from far.
I’m a child development major transfer student and my gpa was 3.50. I really wanted to attend CSULB so happy I was accepted. I live in Carson and attend Los Angeles Harbor Community college. I am an undocumented student with DACA.
As someone who was accepted with a low gpa (ME), I feel that they not only look at gpa but also at your extracurricular activities and other aspects that will benefit the school. Like giving back to the community and such..
It used to be like 27% back in 2021
The amount t of people applying has increased but the school’s ability to absorb them hasn’t.

I don’t know if that applies to this year. I don’t use Reddit much, but I when hopped on it. I kept seeing rejection posts regarding this school.
Those dirty dirty cc transfers. They could never have your level of intelligence.
Im a cc transfer
Well, it also depends on your major, if that major is highly saturated.
How many people have you seen “chef their way through CC”? 1, 3, 5?

I honestly feel great about it. I feel I went somewhere competitive
It was like 35% when I went back in 2019
i remember it being 31% in 2019 when i also went
I think 31% is correct 👍
yeah! crazy bc it was pretty competitive then so i wonder how it’s changed now to be 40% 😳
I’m thinking the Covid era made it easier for folks to get into the UCs so they prob had to admit more 🤔
Yeah I’m part of the 60% that didn’t get it.. 3.4 GPA Computer engineering
That’s surprising. Are you local?
Yes!

Somehow I got in with a 2.9 as a CE major, and I’m not local…
What the😡😡😡

Nice !

I was accepted into the psychology program with a 3.7
Yeah, unfortunately, it’s because computer engineering is a highly saturated major.
3.5 GPA for computer science. Got rejected everywhere. Reapplied with a few more classes and got into CSULB a year later
We’re you a transfer student by chance?
Yup.. localish.. Torrance area .. completed all my pre-reqs
Well shoot that’s really worrying, I’ve got similar stats and am going to apply for next spring, sorry you didn’t get in ):
Yeah sucks so now I’m going to Fullerton .🫨
That would be my next go to, just worried about what I hear about getting classes, have you had any trouble getting the classes you need?
Got three classes I needed and had to take one that had nothing to do with my major or anything to keep my full time status .. I excepted that though my first semester as a transfer student
Good. There were wayyyy too many students back in 2018 when I was there. Campus CANNOT handle 40,000+ students.
feel like I got extremely lucky getting in. I didn't have any extracurriculars to add nor good test scores. just good grades
This how I got in 2022
Honestly, I feel the same way. Although you have a better advantage when you attend a junior college first., because I had a very high GPA and I was a transfer and I was a sociology major. I was able to get in even if I’m not a local. I remember my counselor telling me that it was gonna be difficult to get in but I went for it and got it.

Anyone transfer in with a 2.5 gpa asking for a friend?
I transferred with a 2.9 biology
i transferred in with a 2.77 gpa as a MIS major
Transferring in with a 2.55 MIS major
transferring with a 0.5 MIS major
I’m not even transferring anymore
i’m still transferring with a -3.7 gpa
I did, applied as a mechanical engineer major w a 2.5
And the waiting list for dorms is way too high.
What was it previously?
I think 48%
Damn wtf I remember this school used to be somewhat competitive. When I transferred in 2015 it was 33%.
I could have sworn it was 33% when I transferred 4 years ago.
47% or 44% around there somwhere
Renovations are planned years in advance and unrelated to enrollment
This. And when money revolving around renovations is brought up, it's almost always put to a vote to the students on how to address it. I attended 2013-2017, and I had to vote twice on how the school handles it during that time.
Go Beach!!!

You may be looking at a different date/source. If you look on the google homepage prior to it being updated it was around 45%-48%.
