Point Loma Application: Fill & Download for Free

Think of the college system as basically a 5-layer cake - starting with the widest layer on the bottom and the narrowest layer on top.Let’s start with the lowest but widest layer. With the highest acceptance rates for undergraduates, community colleges or “Jucos” will accept 100% of the applicants, whether or not you have graduated from anything ever in your life !!!The second tier with near universal acceptance - 80 to 100% - are many public in-state universities and some private colleges/universities like Bismarck State College in North Dakota and Dixie State University in Utah. These and more have 100% acceptance rate (Eureka!!!) Here in Arizona, our 3 public universities accept about 80–85 % of its applicants.The third layer - the thickest with a flower icing border - is universities with acceptance rates between 30 and 79%. These are going to include most public schools such as University of Indiana and Univ of Oregon and privates - even parochial schools - like Point Loma, Chapman University, Pepperdine, , etc.Next, as we dig into the chocolate filling, comes the fourth layer - tending to have acceptance rates between 15 and 29%. These are public schools like the University of California (Berkeley, UCLA, etc), Univ of Michigan, Ohio State, Univ of Washington, Univ of Texas (“ Go Longhorns”) and many of the more elite private schools - Like Duke, USC, Carnegie Mellon, Claremont Colleges (like Harvey Mudd Engineering College).At the top of the cake - the final 5th layer - with the SWEETEST icing and buttercream, are those with single digit to about 15% acceptance rates. These include, of course, the Ivy’s like Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Cornell, other elite privates like MIT and Caltech and the “West Coast Ivy” Stanford. These also include the military colleges like Westpoint in NY, The Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, and the Air Force Academy in Colorado City, CO - all which usually take a US senator’s or representative’s recommendation to be considered.So, grab your fork - plastic or metal - and dig in (shout out to the Colorado School of Mines). Knowing that you’re going to earn about a million dollars more over your lifetime than a non-college graduate (about 20–25k per year more per Pew Research Center), is a reason to celebrate and enjoy a delicious slice of life!

It connects to the nearest tower. In some parts of San Diego - like the tip of Point Loma, parts of Imperial Beach, and especially areas near International Park and the Tijuana River Estuary, the nearest cell tower is in Mexico. Those of us who have lived here for a while have gotten accustomed to our phones sometimes claiming that we’re “roaming” or using “international” service while still physically in the US.This is only applicable to location based on cell/mobile service. Your GPS location should be accurate no matter where you are.

In addition to the accurate explanation already given, as a graduate of SDSU, a teacher of seniors in the Sweetwater HS District that has Compact for Success, a lifelong resident of San Diego, and the mother of a current student at State I can enlighten this further. The number one reason why San Diego State University is so impacted is because of A program/agreement with two local districts call “Compact for Success” which guarantees admission into San Diego State University if their students meet a minimum requirement list which, is while rigorous and ensures college readiness, results in an absolute tidal wave of students coming in to San Diego State in the fall of each year. “The partnership between San Diego State University and the Sweetwater Union High School District (SUHSD) was the first of its kind in the nation, and others are now forming to model its achievement. Applications to SDSU have increased more than 120 percent since the beginning of the program. “ Students from Sweetwater ( the 2nd largest High School district in CA) send literally thousands of freshmen to SDSU each fall hemming out many prospective applicants and impacting classes. Additionally, all San Diego colleges are highly sought after by students across the US and internationally because of our climate, beaches, and local culture. It is an incredible place to live and work and SDSU has been known for decades as a major party school making the Playboy to 10 party school list often over years despite having our Greek life suspensed for several. ( it has since been reinstated). Finally the four major universities in that local area it is the 2nd easiest “affordable” school in the San Diego -(read that incredibly expensive but less so than most popular public universities in CA) to get into. That is to say that University of California, San Diego is highly selective and prestigious set above some of the best beaches in town in the lush, tree- scaped ,wind-swept hills of one of our most affluent coastal towns, La Jolla. California State, San Marcos is has easiest admission criteria to meet and it is a very new and academically sound college, however it is in the North West inland area of San Diego, far from beaches (40+ Min drive) , downtown and most of the club- life (60+min drive) and good beaches that SD offers. USD ( Catholic)and Point Loma Nazarene (Prodestant) are both private and the tuition rates reflect it. Sometimes private colleges are easier to get into than public colleges however you should know that both of those universities have breathtaking campuses especially point Loma Nazarene university which is set on point Loma overlooking the ocean. All in all you can’t go wrong going to college here in San Diego. I personally think that San Diego State is the absolute best university option in San Diego. It’s a righteous school, we have a righteous football team, our basketball team is off the charts, the school culture is so much fun, we have Bitchin colors of red and black, and we have a constant ongoing argument regarding our mascot Monty Montezuma and whether or not he is culturally appropriate or an insult to the indigenous peoples of Mexico and this area. That in and of itself is it huge controversy and it underscores the rich complexity and cultural pluralism of living in a Border Town. We also have Lolita’s Taco Shop where the carne asada buritto is basically church in a tortilla. Best of luck applicants.
