I got rejected when I was applying as a fresh man, but now I'm in community college trying to see if I can still get accepted. Beautiful campus by the way.

I also got accepted for spring intake in computer science, 2024. I am so much excited to visit Los Angeles and Long Beach as a freshman.

I just got accepted for the Spring 2023 semester with CSULB! As a Sociology major. I transferred from Pasadena City College, with a 3.89 GPA

I got accepted to Cal State Long Beach!❤️ I feel so proud of myself because I didn’t think I had a chance because of how hard it is to get in.

Great school, I really enjoyed my time at the Beach. My teachers were great, especially the teachers from the Anthropology department. Proud CSULB alumni, Go Beach.

I hope I only spend 2 years at LBCC !

I got rejected as an undergraduate (2015) and a graduate for (2020) but I still have hope of attending. My best option is going as a Open University student, meaning take classes as an outsider and getting connections with the instructors

[OrisueCrew]

I got waitlisted with a 3.6 GPA, still got in though! Great school with smart kids.

[PinkeeLee]

Go Beach, got my sweatshirt on. Got great education there. Study hard, students.

Apparently near impossible if you're applying as a 2nd bachelors student... I applied as a UCI BS graduate and got denied lol

[zdelacruz]

this school is okay. I like it cause it's cheap, other than that..it's okay.
