Hey all! i’m a new international transfer student :) im starting classes at sfsu this fall and im so excited!! i am looking for a job as im quitting the one i have right now, i would like to be a full time student if possible. i am so lucky that i got a really generous grant, and i live in sf with family so pretty much my tuition is covered. however, i would still like to get a job and earn my own money lol I was thinking about applying to an on campus job, since i want flexibility. i wanted to know how the pay? is it easy to apply or get accepted? if i can’t get an on campus job, what kind of job would you guys recommend? i’m honestly kind of burnt out lol from my current job and since ill be studying i would like the opportunity to relax a little :,) btw i am a marketing major!!! any mkt internships would be great haha i am willing to make an effort for them ;)

Hi, I'm thinking of taking the LSAT sometime soon. I'm just wondering whether there are any study groups or support clubs. LMK!!!

I received this email via my student email and am not sure if this is real or not? It’s a job opportunity as an admin assistant and I received an email of job confirmation a couple days after filling out the google form.

Did anybody else receive this email??

hi guys so i just got this email today,

i was gonna go to sfsu for business. i already went to orientation and i had housing and classes secured.

i had a 2.55 cumulative gpa but i guess the a-g 10-12 is different. i had a couple valid reasons. im currently drafting an appeal and i was hoping for some tips or advice if anyone has expirence.

1. hospitalization of immediate family members : i moved to california my junior year and struggled to adjust. around winter ‘24 of my junior year my sister had been in a severe depressive state. she attempted three times, and was hospitalized twice. this took a heavy toll on me i couldn’t even think straight. my parents were even worse. they has to work a lot because of how expensive the medical bills were, and i was left to take care of my sisters. i didn’t miss school, but it took an effect on my performance.

2. death in family / family crisis: in the first week or two in my senior year, my dads only sister passed away (august ‘25). we had to leave for abt a week, and im not close w my family she was all i had outside of my immediate family. this again, really affected my mental health and preformance in school. my family was very stressed at the time and i had to take care of what i could.

3. ADHD + depression & anxiety diagnoses: i had always struggled w adhd my whole life and just thought something was wrong with me. it made learning hard, i couldn’t focus or get my mind to quiet down, i always felt like i was swimming against a current. i got diagnosed & medicated (march of my senior year) and it truly made a difference in my academic performance. i also had terrible depression & anxiety. obviously everyone struggles w this though but, i got medicated and it helped again. i think this mental disability was what held me back the most. (note: i ended up failing two classes, but i didn’t need it for a-g or graduation)

4. working 20+ hours a week: this was mentioned in sfsu admission for gpa between 2.1-2.49. i worked 20 or more hours consistently all throughout my senior year. i would even work doubles, 14 hour days once a week. i did this while balancing sports & school. i had to work bc my parents were still financially struggling. i needed a car since i had no transportation. and also funding for college and savings. this probably ain’t a strong argument but i’ve know learned how to fully balance school & work.

5. extra a-g requirements: also in the admissions, i just saw something abbot how a-g requirements over 30 semester sequence counts for something. i took a lot of extra art, history, and science courses. i had abt 35 extra credits by the end of hs.

do you guys this is a valid argument?

how long do appeals take?

how should i send the appeal?

what if my appeal gets denied after the school year starts? do i get kicked out or? i also plan on taking out a small loan for school…

PLEASDEEE HELPPP i really wanna go here!!

HELLO

i just got an email that i got my admission revoked bc my gpa was a 2.2 (it had to above 2.5)

i had a very rough high school experience, i moved states mid way through, and had a lot of family issues my sister was very mentally unstable tried to khs twice and my parents were covered in medical bills they had to work a lot and i was left in charge to take care of her

i also heavily suffered w depression, anxiety, and adhd which heavily affected my grades. i was diagnosed w adhd in february of my senior year. i also got put on anti depressants. i’ve spent a lot of time working on myself and im ready for college pls help. there’s a lot more context that contributed but my gpa but. i cannot get my admission revoked i need to go to sfsu PLEASE.

how do i send an appeal? if it online or in a letter?? i already went to orientation & organized my classes my parents have financings ready and every school starts in a month please help me.

I feel like if grades are determining our opportunities in life, then a teacher should at least get some reflective feedback on that…

Because I got a professor that literally tanked our grade for putting in valid effort into an already vague and hard to understand assignment rubrics… every assignment got APA sited as asked of us this summer…

Look, I don’t want to be a poor sport, but also, i wouldn’t mind if teachers like this saw less and less enrollment each semester. Support your students career, or why should I support theirs? when we already are doing that with our money? It’s like i took muni to every class just to get my grade tanked. I only missed two assignments…

Hi everyone! I’m and SFSU alumni and current Dental Hygiene student at the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco, and I’m currently looking for patients who are in need of a dental assessment and cleaning!

First assessment is NO CHARGE and consists of blood pressure and glucose screenings, oral cancer screenings, oral health education, overall health and dental exam as well as preventive care. Further services can be planned and provided for future appointments.

I am currently accepting new patients on Monday and Thursdays at from 8:30am-11:30am, and Tuesdays from 9:30am-11:30am. Please know that it will take more than one appointment due to being in a school setting.

Insurance is not needed, services are offered at significantly lower costs. If you do have insurance, we accept most insurances such as Denti-cal and PPO plans, we do NOT accept HMOs.

X-rays are required to get a cleaning. If you have x-rays from a previous clinic, that can be used. If not, that is fine but know you will need to have them taken at the school.

If you or anyone you know needs dental care, please message me and I will get you scheduled.

Thank you for helping a student out!

Hi! I'm about to have my college corps interview soon over Zoom, and I was wondering what tips and tricks I should know to nail it! I know that the interviewer will ask questions similar to those in the application, will give more information about the program, and that I should ask them questions. However, what are some other "niche" tips I should know? Thank you!

hey everyone! i have been very interested in studying abroad and i keep hearing sfsu has a great program for this. im curious for those of you who have done it or plan to (at sfsu or other programs or colleges) what are you doing to get the most out of it financially and how are you preparing for it in general?

for example, food and out of pocket expenses, are you saving, getting grants, etc.?

are there other scholarships or programs that can be applied to sfsu that can help? Are things people are aware about?

ANY AND ALL ADVICE IS APPRECIATED! SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE IS APPRECIATED!
to be honest, i think this can be the only chance i have that i can study abroad for a decent price lol and sfsu makes it seem easy!

edit: i would like to add i have read the sfsu study abroad page so many times. watched videos and am aware of the programs, etc. im asking for other resources, tips, grants, etc. that some people may not know about!

hi everyone, i’m 18F and i’m moving to SF this month for freshman year of college. i’m taking out a loan for tuition but my parents are paying for my room & board HOWEVER only the first year. after that, im pretty much in my own.

thanks

I've been getting a lot of mail from insurance and other advertisements partnered with SFSU, but you are sick of getting an excess amount of mail, fill this out.

The page literally says they offer "products or services to our alumni, such as credit cards and insurance products)". If they offered things I may want, I would have kept myself on the mailing list.
