So it got just a tad more complicated...

azurite>_< !!!
Okay, so I thought to myself, "Ely-nee-sama's right, I have to fight these CSU idiots tooth and nail. Because my teeth and nails are in bad enough shape as is," Haha. Kidding about that last bit. Well, I do bite my nails, but that's another story.
Anyway, so I checked out the CSUMentor and CSUN sites, to see if there was anything that the SFSU people said that held true for THAT campus as well. See, I knew CSUN didn't have a spring semester for freshmen (only upper division transfers, I believe), so I figured, "Gee, if I REALLY want to get out of SF that badly, I have to wait until Fall." Not a bad choice, considering I'd get free room and board, plus a mall less than 3 blocks away. ^_^
Anyway, flip side is that they, like all the other CSUs, have the same policy for the foriegn language-- 2 years or equivalent competency. And they're going to look at my D in Japanese 3-4, Second Semester, and go "Nuh-uh. Not at our school." They're going to see my transcript from City College, where I tried to make up said semester, with a bright, shiny "A" on it-- for Elementary Japanese. As the SFSU lady said, "A beginner's course." So I'm thinking this is what I can do... send in the transcripts and scores anyway (potentially wasting more money) but say "Hey, if you guys don't want to let me PROVE that I have competency in Japanese (i.e. take some sort of test so I can get the requirement waived) then let me take the course you want and get in come Fall, when I'll have a transcript." Because I can sign up for the Spring class, be out by Summer, and ta-da... transcript! Of course, I don't know why they'd make such a grandoise exeception for one person... but obviously my chances of getting admitted to SFSU are shot, and frankly SFSU pisses me off right now.
GOOOOOOOOOO CSUN!

Date: 2003-11-20 06:59 pm (UTC)same--if you give up, then the idiots win. And the LAST thing we need on our hands is a world full of idiots.
Quick, they're starting to gain on us.
Anyway, I've had my share of troubles with the college system, so if you ever want to rant, I'll try to be online more often.
GANBATTE!
