Footnotes:
- CSU San Marcos utilizes supplemental impaction criteria. More information on impaction at CSUSM can be found on the webpage "What is Impaction?"
- Ties:
- In the case of a tie for Transfer applicants, we give priority to those with prior U.S. military service, and then we use a lottery to determine who gets admitted.
- In the case of a tie for Freshmen applicants, we review Biology grades and students with higher grades in Biology (including weighted AP Biology grades) would be given priority.
- We require the ATI TEAS exam for Transfer applicants but not for Freshmen applicants.
