CSULB uses a sliding scale, a combination of GPA and SAT/ACT score. The lower the grades are, the higher overall SAT/ACT score should be. When considering the eligibility index, the highest mathematics and verbal scores of SAT are calculated. Applicants graduating from a high school/secondary school outside of the U.S. are not required to provide SAT/ACT exam results, but they may submit the results if they have already taken them.
