Good Morning

Good morning. Will this powerpoint presentation be available afterwards? Thank you.

I concur with Elana Cadapan, will we have access to this Powerpoint once the meeting is over?

May you please get rid of the Recording message?

Nevermind.

Yes the slides and recording will be sent to all who registered by early next week.

Welcome! To those who just joined the slides and recording will be emailed by early next week.

Thank you!

how many were actually accepted with that number of 94,000?

There are approximately 5,000 seats for first time freshmen, SDSU accepts more students, knowing that many students will commit to other universities. So of 94,000 applicants about 10,000 are accepted more or less

If I joined in 11th grade, I'm not eligible, right?

Good morning. I understand that SAT is not a requirement but I want to know what’s an acceptable score?

Is there community services hours requirement?

Alejandro, yes. If you joined the Sweetwater district as a junior, you would not be eligible for the Compact for Success program

I have a question regarding #6. If a student takes a Southwestern course while they are in high school, will they still be eligible?

Hi Michelle Davis, I will be going over SAT/ACT scores for placement purposes

Alejandro - you can still apply to SDSU, but your admission is not guaranteed if you meet the other requirements.

Sarah Ortega. Yes, if students take Southwestern courses they are still eligible for the program

Thank you.

If you got less than a C in a class but improved your grade in summer school, does this disqualify you?

Is the 3.3 weighted or unweighted?

Angie - community service is not required for CSU's. UC's do require them as do private scholarships.

What if I just enrolled in my junior year at Sweetwater?

If a student wants to major in nursing, should they apply with undeclared major to be eligible for Compact?

Allison, If you make up that course in summer school/credit recovery you may still be elegible. See your counselor or you can email me Liliana.silva@sweetwaterschools.org.

Allison, I will have Angel answer your question regarding weighted or unweighted gpa

Is premed major impacted?

Does opting for a pass/no pass grade in an AP class disqualify you from the program?

Hi Mmoyna, we do not have a premed major at SDSU, but overall all majors are impacted

is Digital animation available at SDSU

Can you discuss difference between pre professional program and majors?

Hello, does SDSU make you take required specific English and math test to get in?

Andrea - Rosie will be addressing your question in this section.

What if I just enrolled in my junior year at Sweetwater am I still eligible to apply?

Mavi you should still apply. You aren't compact elegible admissions isn

When you apply to SDSU, are you still able to choose 3 of the CSUs within one application?

isn't guaranteed, but you can certainly still apply.

What if I’ve been at the sweetwater district since middle school but I left for one semester sophomore year of high school… am I still eligible?

Sarah - if you qualify for a fee waiver, yes.

Luis - you aren't Compact eligible, but you can still apply and potentially earn acceptance.

Do students need to specify on the SDSU application that they part of Compact for Success?

How would I apply?

Luis- the same way everyone else applies at Cal State apply from October 1st-November 30th of your senior year.

@mmonya - you apply using the cal state apply application. You do not indicate that you are Compact Elegible. SDSU will automatically see if you meet the Compact requirements when reviewing your application.

if i applied and got accepted for a major, but i want to change my major that's in a different department while attending, would that still be possible?

I am taking IB Literature HL1 and I am planning on also taking IB Literature HL2 senior year would this class meet the college readiness or would also have to take the IB test?

Do you look at college weighted grade?

Paulette - I would have to see your CAASP scores and courses you have taken. Email me at Liliana.silva@sweetwaterschools.org and I can let you know or you can ask your counselor.

Admissions looks at unweighted GPAs.

@Aileen- yes you can change your major for most majors. Some require certain requirements be meet before you change majors.

For any IEP student are they allow extra time for the EAP test?

what EAP stands for?

when do they take the EAP test?

Early Assessment Program.

@Rosa that will be addressed in a bit

How do we access CASSP score. District used to send the result but not anymore

Rachel - if it's part of your IEP then yes

Does the counseling office file the CAASPP scores?

Thank you

thank you!

CASSP testing is during the week of May 16th at EHS

We have your scores, but the student has to officially release the scores for SDSU to receive them. We cannot send them to SDSU.

If scores are release to all CSU & UC receive the CAASPP scores?

could not see test date for sweetwater

We can have Rosie come back to that slide shortly.

On the high school transcript it says (under the College Admissions section) that 6 math credits are required. It says 4 have been earned and 2 have been validated. What does the 2 validated mean?

Sweetwater HS April 7 to 29

Sarah the two validated means a higher level course met the requirement for a lower level course (For example Intermediate Algebra III validated Intermediate Algebra I)

thanks

is caaspp test free?

Thank you so much for all of information. This was incredibly useful.

Thank you.

@Nerio yes you will be taking it at your school

I’d caasp and eap two different tests?

What are the weighted GPA used for?

false

Are these taken in high school

All of the above

CAASP and EAP is the same exam. At our schools sometimes it is called SBAC as CAASP is a part of that larger exam.

D

3. B and c

@Joanna yes you will take the CAASP/EAP/SBAC at your site this semester.

Under GPA summary there is an overall weighted, a CSU a-g weighted, a college weighted uncapped. Which one do we look at for Compact for Success requirements?

caaspp is mandatory to take it?

@Sarah you look at the CSU A-G weighted.

@nerio it

When can students expect to receive their CAASPP scores?

@nerio it

@nerio. It's not mandatory, but you should take it to try to meet your English and math readiness for Compact.

Thank you, but just to clarify, I thought that Compact for Success wanted an unweighted GPA.

Will there be a Compact for Success certificate provided as my senior meets all the requirements?

At Sarah, they do, but when it comes to applying you will put the CSU weighted. Upon looking at your application, admissions will recalculate your GPA.

What is the difference between a major and preprofessional programs?

When should I take SAT or ACT junior or senior year?

There will not be certificates provided, but students will be contacted if they are accepted through Compact.

Lauren you can do either depending on when you feel better prepared for them. You can take it once in June and then again by October of senior year.

how many times you allowed to take test for caaspp?

what are the weighted GPA used for?

Where do we access CAASPP scores?

Will today’s presentation recording be published. If so, where can we find the link? If not, will it be sent via email?

What if they have missed all or part of the test due to covid?

Please clarify - If applying for an impacted program like Nursing, I understand Compact doesn't apply, but do we NOT select Compact on the application? Do you lose compact if applying for another major?

If students attend junior college first, does compact success still apply?

when applying, we do have to write essays right?

@jfallon there are makeups. If that happens, contact the Assistant Principal at your school.

How do we access the practice CAASP test or questions?

@Aileen - not for the CSU's.

Do all programs in SDSU ONLY start fall? When is next application time?

Financial Aid ?

Does taking a “pass” grade as opposed to a letter grade in an AP class during online learning year effect eligibility?

What about service hours? how many we need ?

what's the last eligible year for compact for success?

Do you have to apply for CAASSP/EAP test, if so how do we do so?

Thank you.

Can students opt out of CAASP?

@Alejandro - no all juniors will be taking it at your school.

I will answer the CAASPP/EAP questions in this chat after Angel

@Alison - not sure, contact your assistant principal.

thank you!

when selecting our majors, do we only apply for our first choice major or will there also be an option for second choice majors?

Can you transfer out of noosing and switch major after you were accepted?

@Zeki community service is not a requirement for admission for SDSU. They are required by the UCs, private schools, and some scholarships.

*Nursing

Thank you

Because of the pandemic many students may be behind academically. Is this the reason the CSU’s aren’t looking at SAT and ACT.

arrocha@sdsu.edu

For compact success, can students apply with an undeclared major?

Useful, helpful, clear. Thank you!

Quick question. My son has an IEP for stuttering. Is he eligible for services at SDSU?

If you are attending community college first you will have to meet the requirements as a transfer student. Compact no longer applies.

Thank you!

peace out
