SDSU has a Writing Proficiency Exam (WPA) test that everybody takes as they enter the university. You can’t take other classes meanwhile. That’s why it’s a 5 year B.S. program campus. 2 English writing classes are a requirement, they’ll set you back full year, and even than they don’t give you the skill to pass that WPA that you took in the beginning. But good news now is that you are cleared to take your classes for the major!

Get good SAT's and take a variety of good classes. i didnt study in High School much and I made it with a good attitude.

I had a 3.6 and a 1230 GPA for Fall 2003 admission. Just get good grades and do well on the SAT!

I transferred from a local community college with a GPA higher than a 3.5. Some programs do require higher GPAs, so it is better to go to a community college and then transfer. Plus it is much cheaper that way.

It's not as easy as it used to be. I got into USD, UCSB, and UCSC and chose SDSU because I loved the campus and the business program is better than USD's (plus there's way more to do at SDSU as far as meeting people and opportunity). Just have pretty good grades (I had a 3.54) and a decent SAT score (I had a 1230 back in 2003), and that should give you a good chance. Applying online is easy too!

Getting accepted to the school is one thing, getting into your major is another. I had average grades in high school (C+/B- avg) and a decent SAT (1040) and was able to get accepted. The real test comes when you try to get into your major. The stress really started to kick in when I tried to become a Business Major which is about the end of your sophomore year. At the time I was going to SDSU, the Business Major GPA requirement was 2.5 and I barely made it in. Now, I think the GPA requirement for business has gone up and business classes aren't easy. And with the student population increasing, the Business GPA requirement isn't going to go anywhere else but up.

I would not advise students to go to this University.

Applied as a transfer student and had to take math and communications courses at a community college to be accepted.
Psychology
Regular application - no essay, no SAT II scores

I went to community college before applying to any 4-year colleges because my high school grades were mediocre and I didn't know what I wanted to do. Community colleges are a good way to save money and the quality of teaching is often better than at a university. Plus, the classes are smaller so you get more attention, and the coursework is often equivalent to a university in terms of content and difficulty. Community colleges allow students to raise their grades and improve their chances of gaining acceptance to competitive schools. But of course you have to work hard enough to earn the good grades. If you don't have much money, don't know what you want to major in, and/or don't have good grades, I highly recommend the community college route. One drawback is that you will only have about 2 years at the university once you transfer. This may not be enough time to acquire research experience if you are intending to apply to grad school. Of course you could always transfer earlier or stay around another year.
