Episode Details

Cal State just launched its revamped Cal State Apply portal early this year—August 1st—to give students more time to apply for the 2027-2028 school year. Designed for mobile-first use, it aims to simplify the process, especially for phone-savvy applicants. But not everyone’s thrilled: some users report clunky navigation, especially when switching between campuses, with no search function to jump straight to majors. While you can start filling out personal info now, key steps like uploading transcripts won’t be available until October 1st. Still, many students say platforms like the Common App or UC’s system remain smoother. The fee is $70 per school, but California residents can get waivers.
