2. California State University, Stanislaus
CSU Stanislaus is located in Turlock, and it was founded in 1957. Similar to Bakersfield campus, it too enrolls around 9,000 students and is one of the smaller CSU’s overall. Acceptance rate to Stanislaus campus is higher than 70% which means that chances of getting admitted are rather high. Needless to say, GPA and ACT requirements are on the low side with former being between 2.71 and 3.14, and latter falling within the range between 16 and 22.
