What test scores really mean here

California State University Fullerton is test-blind: it won't look at SAT or ACT scores at all, even if you submit them. Spend that energy on grades, rigor, and the rest of your application.

The honest version

Hitting these numbers gets you into the pile. It doesn't get you in. California State University Fullerton accepts 90.5% of applicants, which means most students with the "right" GPA and scores still get turned down. Course rigor, essays, recommendations, and a clear spike are what separate admits from the rest of the qualified pool.
