Editor's notes

• Your A-G grades carry the decision. The CDS rates GPA very important and recommendations, activities and interviews not considered, so enter every course on Cal State Apply exactly as your transcript shows.
• Apply early in the fall window. Humboldt hasn't posted a fall 2027 closing date, and the last CDS listed Dec. 1.
