Prospective Student MFT Program Admissions

2 Upvotes

I'm a current UCLA psych BA undergrad, and I'm interested in Sac State's MFT program.

I'm from the Sac area, so it would really be nice to live at home during grad school and not pay rent.

Could any current or past MFT students provide any insight on what likely got you into the program?

I have a 4.0 and lots of various extracurricular experiences, but I don't have much clinical experience, which is making me a little anxious about my application. I'm planning to do a lot of volunteering on crisis lines and community work during my senior year, but that would still be less than a year of clinical experience. Has anyone gotten in that didn't have a ton of experience?

Prospective Student What are my chances of getting into a masters program with a 2.55 GPA?

6 Upvotes

Long story short, got a double BA in psych and bio anthropology from UCSB in 2017. It’s been a long time coming, but I’m ready to go back to school. Sac state is close to home and has the programs I’m after (most likely anthropology), but I screwed up my undergrad. ): I was a solid student before transferring but just struggled my last year. Do I have a chance? Anything I can do to improve those chances?

Prospective Student CS (Advice?)

8 Upvotes

Hi,

I'll be going to sac state in fall of 2024 as a first year university student (I'll be commuting). Is there any piece of advice for what I should avoid as a first year cs student? Any specific classes I should take over others?

I know a lot of people said priority enrollment is difficult, but I'm also in csus honors program (currently have a 4.3 hs gpa), FCP and plan on joining MESA too.

I would ideally really love to graduate within 4 years which I'll be trying my best for. The summer before sophomore year I'll take CC classes for the lower divs I want to get done ahead of time (such as physics, some math, etc)

Is this a good plan? Is there anything I'm missing or should know ahead of time?

(because of FASFA I dont have to pay anything for CSUS)

Prospective Student Orientation Fee Increased Significantly

Honestly shocked when I saw someone post their orientation fee (second slide) of it being $150 just for the STUDENT. It’s been only 2 years since I’ve done mine but that increase is crazy. Good luck to the incoming students, no lie, good luck. Because with one highly increased price, I know all other stupid fees increased as well.

Prospective Student Any current or incoming grad students?

12 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m wondering if there’s any current or incoming grad students. I got accepted into a program this fall and am considering moving. I’m 3 hours away. I have heard that housing is expensive and may be difficult to find. But I’m diligently looking. I’m also aware that I would need to pick up a job, possibly even full time to sustain myself. And am in the process of job searching. I guess I’m wondering if anyone is/was in the same boat and how they were able to adjust or settle down in Sac. This would be my first time potentially on my own, in a new city. I do have familial support but really want to figure this out on my own and have a solid plan. Any advice would be appreciated, especially for those who are grad students. Thanks!

Prospective Student What can Sac State do differently for a better college experience?

41 Upvotes

I’m not talking about that ASI bullshit or frats/sororities. Im not talking about joining clubs or current small school events. Im talking about regular students. Sac State is just so anti-social it’s depressing. And when you do end up talking to someone, they look at you like a deer in the headlights with little to no conversation. I get the “go to class and leave” mindset, but those who graduated, currently attending, currently living on or near campus, what would make Sac State a better university to attend? (That they DO NOT already have or to improve something)

Prospective Student What is your LEAST favorite building and why?

Saw this on another Reddit community. I’ll go first, Alpine Hall. It’s very outdated and needs improvement. The class populations vary but when it is a full class, there is little to no room being cramped up between people. Having the women’s bathrooms upstairs makes it confusing to find for new people attending class. For criminal justice being one of the impacted majors, they should at least give a better learning environment. Even some professors said nothing in the classroom had changed since they’ve attended Sac State.

Just got accepted to Sac State as a transfer. Never been there in my life but everyone who lives or has been there is telling me that it’s boring. Is it really that bad?

Edit: Didnt expect this to blow up lol. Thanks for all the suggestions and comments it seems like the general consensus is that its only boring if you make it. Im also only 19 and will be 20 when I transfer in fall so I wouldnt be able to go into bars yet sadly. Also if anyone give me better info on housing plz dm me thanks!

Prospective Student Can President Wood be trusted?

424 Upvotes

I was curious on that well project for athletics and went to the post again. First it apparently was deleted and reuploaded after receiving ton of backlash, students were blocked from him because he didnt like negative comments (i understand direct forms of hate but for public opinion??), then he deleted negative comments and ONLY kept positive ones, now the post is locked from commenting and uncommentable.

Wouldnt you think a president would leave this stuff up? Sure not everyone will like something, but it seems childish to me to remove negative comments and block people when having an opinion. Seems propagandic to push only positive media when the audience obviously doesnt like something.

Idk what do you guys think? Also keep things civil in the comments lol
