Multifactor Admission

��Vlog uses a Multifactor Admissions (MFA) model to determine eligibility for each major. The model combines an applicant's A-G GPA with other non-academic factors (see the MFA Model) and does not consider SAT or ACT scores. Review the minimum CPP Index requirements for each major below.

MFA Model
Admission Category	Attribute Scoring
CPP Applicant Points	("A-G" GPA X 1000) + 450
Math Coursework	Impacted STEM majors only
Local Area or Veteran/Military	Local Admission Area Military Status of Active Duty, National Guard, Reserve, or Veteran
First Generation	Parents with: no high school, some high school, high school graduate and 2 year college graduate
Youth Services	Ward of the Court, Foster Youth or Unaccompanied Youth
Campus Partnerships	The Wonderful Company
Extra-curricular Activities	Student government, Athletics, Leadership, Work Experience, Volunteer/Community Service, Clubs, etc.
Educational Programs	AVID, Gear Up, Upward Bound, etc.

The has eliminated the use of SAT/ACT test scores when making undergraduate admission decisions.

Your ��Vlog Index is calculated by: (A-G GPA x 1000) + 450 + values earned from the campus admission categories in "MFA Model"

California residents and graduates of California high schools are considered admissible if they earn a 2.50 or greater “A-G” GPA and a minimum eligibility index of 2950.
Non-California residents are considered admissible to a CSU if they earn a 3.00 or greater “A-G” GPA.

��Vlog admits applicants to their alternate major only if there is additional capacity beyond those admitted as a primary major. This means that you might meet the threshold for your alternate major, but because there is no additional enrollment capacity, you may not be offered admission into your alternate major.

Adding an alternate major on your Cal State Apply application is highly encouraged.
