Joanne Jacobs summary:
The most selective schools — San Jose State, San Diego State, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Cal Poly Pomona, Cal State Fullerton and Long Beach State — are not included.
Cal State schools have higher graduation rates than community colleges. But students who wouldn’t apply if they had to fill out an application are likely to be less motivated and to complete a bachelor’s degree.
Like the top-tier University of California system, which has discovered that even “A” students can be unprepared for college-level work, Cal State doesn’t consider SAT or ACT scores in admissions. Admitting “C” students — or even “B” students — on grades alone means even more will need remedial help. And the success rate for unprepared students is low.
