You can apply to San Marcos in between November and December of the fall before you would be attending.
The application requires at least a 2.00 GPA, a 29 for the ACT, and a 700 for the SAT. Letters of recommendation can be used, but they arent required. The FASFA can be used, but it is not required.

If I got into this school, my first year I would live on campus in the dorms. This would cost $13,227.
I would probably walk to class, and that does not cost anything.

College sororities and dance are what interest me. These things interest me because I enjoy dance and I am very social.

This school is my safe school because I know I can get into this one regardless. I know that I have the requirements for this school and if I couldn't get into my other ones, I could go to San Marcos. I also know that I can easily afford tuition for this school.

For Great Oak students, the chance of getting into this school is high. For regular applicants, it is 52%. My chances are good right now because of my 2.9 GPA and my decent SAT test scores.

This campus environment is medium sized with 12,475 students.  This school is in a suburban setting and I personally like that. You are still close to other major things such as the beach and a mall.
