Transfer applicants for fall entry, totals for Fall 2021 through Fall 2024. "Any Cal State" counts each student once however many campuses they applied to. "All CCCs" is the same rate for every California community college combined. Fall 2025 is admitted / applied. CSU hides any group under 10: "≈" means a hidden admit count was counted as 5, "—" means fewer than 20 applicants. CSU counts every application filed, including ones later withdrawn or left incomplete, so its admit rates read lower than a campus's own.
