<p>To the OP: I think coolweather has given the best advice here–your son should see if he can enter SDSU with some other major–many of the majors have required GPA’s well below 2.90. Presumably the GPA cut-off is not for any transfer at all, but just for transfer into a specific major? Most universities will permit a student to change majors as late as the second semester of the junior year, and if his GPA meets the threshold after a semester (or quarter?) then it seems very likely that he could change majors at that point. If your son has been taking pre-med courses, the curves in those courses tend to be different (lower) from the curves in the introductory business courses . . . and that would explain why business can set a 2.90 cut-off.</p>
