| ADDITIONAL INFORMATION |

CSU Fullerton is an impacted campus at the first-time freshman level and will utilize supplemental admission criteria to admit first-time freshmen to the campus. All first-time freshmen applicants must apply during the initial admission application-filing period (October 1 through November 30 for fall) to be considered for admission. SAT or ACT scores are required regardless of GPA and must be received by CSU Fullerton no later than January 15, 2010. All subject matter requirements must have been completed prior to high school graduation. Subject matter requirements must be met with a C or better and may not be completed during the summer term immediately preceding fall admission. CSU eligible first-time freshman applicants that graduate from high schools in a CSU Fullerton-defined local area will be admitted based on CSU systemwide eligibility criteria. CSU eligible first-time freshman applicants who graduate from schools outside of the CSU Fullerton-defined local area will be "rank ordered" by eligibility index and admission offers will be made in descending order of eligibility index totals until the freshman class is full. Approximately ten (10) percent of the freshman class may be admitted based on an eligibility index and additional characteristics including special talents, first generation college status, socioeconomic factors, and indications of overcoming educational obstacles. Cal State Fullerton is also "impacted" for pre-nursing program. |
