Freshmen Student Profile

Multifactor Admission

��88�� uses a multifactor admissions (MFA) model to create a ��88�� eligibility index (CPP Index) for an applicant’s desired major. This admission model considers an applicant’s "A-G" GPA along with other non-academic attributes (click "MFA Model" to view) and excludes SAT/ACT scores to determine an applicant’s admissibility. Prospective students can view CPP's minimum indexes below.

MFA Model
Admission Category	Attribute Scoring
CPP Applicant Points	("A-G" GPA X 1000) + 450
Math Coursework	Impacted STEM majors only

The has eliminated the use of SAT/ACT test scores when making undergraduate admission decisions.

Your ��88�� Index is calculated by: (A-G GPA x 1000) + 450 + values earned from the campus admission categories in "MFA Model"

California residents and graduates of California high schools are considered admissible if they earn a 2.50 or greater “A-G” GPA and a minimum eligibility index of 2950.
Non-California residents are considered admissible to a CSU if they earn a 3.00 or greater “A-G” GPA.

��88�� admits applicants to their alternate major only if there is additional capacity beyond those admitted as a primary major. This means that you might meet the threshold for your alternate major, but because there is no additional enrollment capacity, you may not be offered admission into your alternate major.

Adding an alternate major on your Cal State Apply application is highly encouraged.
