Things to think about:
- Impaction does not equal “impossible to attend” – just different criteria
- We sit in SDSU’s service area, so our students have first priority for admissions consideration
- We have transfer admission guarantees (TAG) with SDSU, some UC’s, ASU
- Private and out-of-state universities does not necessarily mean it costs more than public universities
- Scholarships may be available to help students fund their education
- Cost of living may be more optimal outside of our area
Come explore which institution could be the best fit for you!
