CSU Chico Spring 2019

Published

Hey guys! I couldn't find the spring 2019 forum, so I decided to start one myself. I am applying to chico for the spring 2019 cohort and was wondering who else is applying for this semester. I am applying with 92 points.

Hey! Yes I did apply to Chico for Fall 2018. So the Chico Self Calculator told me I had 91 points so that's what i thought all along. I have all A's and 2 B's (in anatomy and physio). Turns out the self calculator counts your points assuming you have the same # of credits as Chico courses. Unfortunate at my JC, (Solano Community College) anatomy and physio are worth 5 units/credits each, and at Chico they're worth 4 credits each. Long story short because my Science GPA was calculated using my JC's credit values and not those of Chico's, I ended up having a 3.44 Science GPA, instead of a 3.5 which is what the Chico calculator told me. So while I thought I had 91 points, I actually had 90 and did not get into the program. So essentially had my Science GPA been calculated as if I took the classes at Chico (where they are worth 4 credits) I would have gotten into te program. The cutoff was originally 91.5 but they ended up taking everyone with 91 points (and some with 90 points I believe) off of the waitlist. I now have 2 more points from completing corequisites which puts me at 92 points. :). Sorry for the long response but I hope that made sense and I explained it okay!

Did u get in?

I don't know if you got a different e-mail from the rest of us but it says the top 40 applicants were notified and anyone who has 92 points but isn't top 40 were also notified about the waitlist. Anybody with 91 points or less won't hear about the waitlist until tomorrow. Either way, #1 on the alternate list is basically in. All other schools (probably lol) have sent out acceptances and I'm sure people have already committed to other schools. Congrats!

I wonder how they choose between two students with same points... i know one thing is veteran status, but other than that i dont know...

I think they order by GPA after the initial cutoff.
