What are the application deadlines and are
they the same for all schools?

The deadline to submit an
application to a Cal State is
November 30th. Some schools will
accept applications past this date,
BUT changes every year and there is
NO guarantee that the school in
which you are interested will be
accepting late applications.

The applications for all of the
impacted schools are due by
November 30th, NO EXCEPTIONS!!

Certain schools also require you to
take the SAT/ACT by October and
will not accept a November or
December sitting. CSUMentor can
give you information on these
particular schools. This generally
applies to the impacted schools.
Which is the BEST CSU campus for me?
Here are some questions you should ask yourself:
 What are your academic and professional ambitions?
 Does the campus offer your major?
 Do you prefer attending a small campus versus a large
one?
 Do you prefer a campus in a big city, or one that is in a
rural community?
 If you enjoy an extracurricular activity or particular
varsity sport or sports, does the campus offer it?
The CSU Matching Assistant can help you find the
campus that is right for YOU!!
