Located in a suburban area, it is one of biggest campuses in California and one of the largest universities in the state.

This fee can be waived though, should a student opt to apply for a waiver.<\/p>\n<p>The most important considerations for this university in accepting a student are the accomplished application form, the standardized test scores such as ACT or SAT, and the applicant\u2019s GPA. As with all California state universities, the consideration for the applicant\u2019s GPA depends on a formula available in CSUMentor\u2019s GPA Calculator. The major that the student is applying for is also considered, such that an applicant applying for entrance in a science program should have high averages in his or her high school science subjects. The criteria are explained in detail in the university\u2019s admission website.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Admission facts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to the 2010 data gathered by Forbes magazine and Us News and World Report in their annual college ranking:<\/p>\n<p>* Of the applicants for admission in 2010, only 44.0% were admitted, a substantial increase from 2009 acceptance figures. 27 percent of those accepted eventually enrolled in SDSU.<br \/>\n* 15% of accepted applicants submitted their ACT score, while 85% of accepted applicants opted to submit their SAT I scores:<br \/>\nSAT Scores:<br \/>\n* Composite Range: 940-1160<br \/>\n* Verbal: 482<br \/>\n* Math: 500<br \/>\n* 50th percentile for the SAT scores: 890 \u2013 1080<br \/>\n* 50th percentile for the SAT \u2013 Math scores: 450 \u2013 550<br \/>\n* 50th percentile for the SAT \u2013 Verbal scores: 430 \u2013 540<br \/>\nACT Scores:<br \/>\n* Composite Range: 20-25<br \/>\n* English: 20<br \/>\n* Math: 22<br \/>\n* Composite: 21<br \/>\n* 50th percentile for the ACT scores: 18 \u2013 24<br \/>\n* 50th percentile for the ACT \u2013 English scores: 17 \u2013 24<br \/>\n* 50th percentile for the ACT \u2013 Math scores: 18 \u2013 25<br \/>\n* Average secondary school GPA for current freshman class: 3.0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact info<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A number of avenues are ready for applicants and prospective students of the San Diego State University where they can readily get more information about application, admission, and general college life once they get in.
