Doesn't everyone already get into Mason?

Hopefully VA colleges will do this soon. Auto admit to Mason with guaranteed transfer to UVA.

So this makes sense!

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.

Dp. CSULB and SJSU aren’t included

DP. The schools that are not included are: Cal Poly SLO, Cal Poly Pomona, San Diego State, Long Beach, Fullerton, and SJSU. So you really aren't contradicting the PP.

Yea but you aren’t promised to get into SLO! You’ll get automatically admitted to a school like east bay. Relax.

Not included in the arrangement.

Transfer from CSU to UC is not automatic, you have to work for it. But CSUs produced a lot of excellent engineers in California.

In state tuition is low. Job opportunities in California are plenty. For a well prepared high school kid not chasing ivies, this is very attractive.

Every year lynbrook high school sends a lot of kids to out of state public schools like Purdue or Minnesota. I don’t know if it makes sense.

At a minimum, California kids have a meaningful safety school in their backyard in this application cycle.

Are you sure about the transfers to UC?
Yes I’ve read there’s automatic admission to lower tier CSUs which I think is good because it takes the edge off, it’s like a rolling admission safety.
Sadly the one we are close to isn’t part of the auto admission deal.

Cal Poly SLO is an amazing school.

Not the six CSUs that are over subscribed.

This is a terrible idea.

Kids who don’t have what it takes to make it college will be pushed to attend by hopeful parents. More student loans will be taken out and later have to be forgiven.

The CSU professors will be told they have to teach kids who lack basic reading, writing, and math skills, compensating for bad high schools across the state.

Very few kids will transfer to the UC system.

The community colleges were perfect for kids who lacked academic skills or were clueless and unmotivated. They were given a chance to figure things out at relatively low cost without needing to take out loans.

No application needed. Considering how good CSUs are academically, it can’t get better for MC UMC kids. And they can transfer to UCB UCLA if they want, the two long established T20 schools.
