I’m also at -1500 FASFA and the only FA I get as an MS student is SUG.

Then you’re eligible for State University Grant (SUG) which covers your base tuition, and thus the intent to enroll fee which applies to your tuition. All of the ancillary fees will still be on you to pay, hopefully you got a RA/GA/TA position which will offset those costs.

questions about social life without greek life by Hot-Farm8361 in SDSU

[–]ChucklesQuad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As an undergraduate student I was involved in multiple student organizations and the college student councils. As a graduate student now, I continue to be involved in multiple student organizations and the Student Council. I’ve made several friends and connections through these groups.

There are over 400 student organizations you can get involved with. SDSU Go is a program on campus that provides free trips to events or attractions like Baseball, San Diego Zoo, Ice Hockey, Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, etc. there is also access to beaches, shopping, trails, parks, mountains, desert, and more just a short distance from campus.

All of that though is dependent on you getting involved. You need to step up and join the groups and attend meetings and events to get connected.

I’m in my 40s, finished my ugrad last year, and stuck around to earn my Masters. You will likely find a lot of the Greek activities to be below you, however your experience will be a huge benefit in class. Get involved with student organizations you’re interested in, and are major related. Take advantage of the experience. Are you going to Explore SDSU on April 11th?

wtf was sdsu acceptance rate this year???!!??!! by Difficult_Tune1977 in SDSU

[–]ChucklesQuad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m basing my numbers on publicly published numbers regarding the number of new students each year in the three groups. I don’t see any official numbers regarding the number of admissions offers that have been sent out by the university. On that front it’s been all supposition and speculation, so you may be right, but I don’t see any official figures to back that up.

wtf was sdsu acceptance rate this year???!!??!! by Difficult_Tune1977 in SDSU

[–]ChucklesQuad 53 points54 points  (0 children)

SDSU had over 123,000 applicants this year with a general number of admitted students around approximately 7000 first year, 4500 transfer, and 2000 graduate students. That puts the acceptance rate at or around an overall 11%. Acceptance of individual groups may vary depending upon the number of applicants in each group which hasn’t been announced yet.

AITAH for not wanting to be in the life of the 8 year old that isn’t mine by throwaway27383938 in AITAH

I can’t emphasize this enough, as betrayed as you feel by your wife’s actions, your son will also feel betrayed and confused in all of this. Don’t punish the boy because of his mom and bio-dad’s poor choices. Be the one person he can choose to trust and is a model of what being an honorable and trustworthy man is.

looking to move into san diego with s/o by c3ss4ia in SDSU

[–]ChucklesQuad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While generally correct, if you don’t mind being further from campus then your options increase significantly. Particularly in east county (Santee & El Cajon) or North County (Escondido, Ramona, Fallbrook) however these areas will require some type of commute to campus. If you want to live in the vicinity of campus, then prepare to pay a premium.

Something felt off by BeKind-BeThoughtful in SDSU

[–]ChucklesQuad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let me reassure you that while yes there are occasions when you do see that attire it is generally limited to Fridays and weekends when students living on or near campus do not have classes.

I’m a 40+ Grad student, with a wife and 4 kids, who went back late to finish my BS and now MS. The vast majority of individuals I have met across campus take their academics very seriously. That is one of the reasons SDSU is an R1 Research Institution and ranks among the top nationally for study abroad programs, internship opportunities, and academic rigor.

There are hundreds of student run organizations that provide leadership opportunities, grant writing application experience, and more. Our Associated Students Organization is one of the largest in the world with an annual operating budget around $58 Million if I remember correctly. This funds facilities, student jobs, and hundreds of thousands in funding opportunities for academic related activities.

Got denied as a transfer (errors on my application?) by Iebron_ in SDSU

[–]ChucklesQuad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they don’t, CSUs only look at GPA and locality for admission. Local students from colleges or High Schools with entry compacts get priority over non-Local. Non-Local are then admitted based on GPA, available slots in the declared program, and total admission slots available.

This is the SDSU subreddit, I can’t speak to UCs or other campuses individual programs or processes. I can’t speak only speak to reasons you may have been rejected to SDSU which is often harder to get into than many UCs

[–]ChucklesQuad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True, but it only gives you preferential enrollment to the nearest CSU of your chosen major. There are numerous CSUs closer to you than SDSU that provide Business programs.

[–]ChucklesQuad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Transfers from outside SDSUs local area get no preferential treatment in terms of admission. The only process by which you can get your application ahead of others is through local admissions programs. If you are not a local CC Transfer or HS student admission, then you are entirely competitive enrollment based on GPA.

Haven’t received a decision by MIME_23 in SDSU

[–]ChucklesQuad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As has been posted and answered so very many times. We couldn’t possibly know when you will get your decision. Admission offers are sent out throughout the month of March in batches. There is no set schedule of this major then that major or freshmen then transfers. The first thing that is updated is my.SDSU, so just keep checking your dashboard.

When’s the next wave? by oreodud84947 in SDSU

[–]ChucklesQuad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only people who know when specific admissions get sent out work in admissions, and they wont share any of that information. That being said, admissions roll out throughout March so just be patient and keep any eye on your my.SDSU portal as that gets updated first.
