The admission process at San Francisco State University (SFSU) involves several steps. First, applicants must submit an online application via Cal State Apply, including personal information, academic history, and extracurricular activities. High school transcripts or previous college records are required, along with standardized test scores if applicable.
SFSU reviews applications holistically, considering GPA, coursework rigor, and supplemental materials. Some programs may require additional essays, portfolios, or interviews. Deadlines vary by term, with fall admissions typically due in November. After submission, applicants receive a confirmation and can track their status through the university’s student portal.
