[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12th graders at our California school have guaranteed admission to our local Cal State. Contrary to the mythology spread on DCUM, many of the Cal States are day campuses with struggling enrollments and huge budget shortfalls. They’re similar to community colleges. San Diego State and Cal Poly SLO, with their traditional residential experiences,  are the exceptions, not the norms.

So this makes sense! [/quote]

This is false.

There are so many excellent csus.  SJSU is the oldest founding CSU, also the best among Csus.  SFSU, Sonoma state, SLO, Long Beach, east bay.  [/quote]
and Long Beach and Fullerton have a large student body.

I went to one of those CSUs back in the 80s/90s.  It was large then, too.    CSU opened up at least 3 new campuses in the past 30 years.   Those new ones and the ones in the middle of nowhere are the ones struggling.  It's the small ones that are autoadmitting.

The six campuses not part of the autoenrollment are the ones that are too full:

San Jose State, San Diego State, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Cal Poly Pomona, Cal State Fullerton and Cal State Long Beach -- these are the strongest CSU schools.[/quote]

It's not static.  The stregth of a school is fluid.  Back in the days, SJSU is a super easy admit, now competitive.

SFSU is not remote, as more qualifying students are steered there, the school may become very strong, considering San Francisco is the tech hub now.

Also popularity does not always equate strength.  Humboldt is a good school in a remote location.  Less popular but a good school.[/quote]
nah, CSU Humboldt has never been considered "good" compared to those six.

One would think SFSU  would be stronger given its location, but it's still not as strong as SJSU or SLO.  If after the 90s/2000s tech boom, it's still not as strong as those others, then I don't think steering more students there is going to make it stronger.  It would need to have  some special program there that makes it more desirable.

BTW, I went to two of the six CSUs.[/quote]
