“That really surprised me since SDSU was the place ANYONE could get into not too long ago”
When I graduated HS in 1976 (San Pasqual) SDSU was a place you would go if you could not get into other colleges. My daughter recently got accepted at SDSU, except she wants to be a nurse, getting into the nursing program a SDSU looks to be impossible so we are sending her out of state. There is no benefit by California for middle-income parents with college bound kids.
