Hi! I'm currently prepping my application for San Diego State and couldn't find much info about their requirements for letters of recommendation. Can someone tell me if they require them or not?
San Diego State University (SDSU) is part of the California State University (CSU) system. For the CSU system, including SDSU, letters of recommendation are generally not required or considered as part of the undergraduate admissions process. The admissions decision primarily relies on your GPA, coursework, and test scores (if you choose to submit them). However, if you are applying to a specific program within SDSU that has additional requirements, you should thoroughly review the program's details to see if they request letters of recommendation.
In any case, it's essential to focus on submitting a strong application that showcases your academic achievements, extracurricular involvement, and any other relevant experiences that make you a well-rounded candidate for San Diego State University. Good luck with your application!
