There are chances, but they would be higher at a CC and in fact you could have a guarantee of admission via TAG at some of them. Some students in a situation like yours would move their sophomore year to attend a CC in the vicinity of the 4-year they want to attend, allowing them to take part in the campus life starting right away.

If CC is not an option then you’ll have to take your chances from SFSU; if the CA budget continues to struggle (for example if Brown’s tax measure loses this fall) then you should also be aware that the CA publics have considered not allowing ANY xfers except from CC’s.

The California State University plans to accept no new students at most of its campuses for the spring 2013 semester and place all fall 2013 applicants on a waitlist, a top CSU administrator said Monday.

According to Robert Turnage, the CSU assistant vice chancellor for budget, the plan would close all but eight of the 23 CSU campuses to enrollment in spring 2013 and only allow students on a transfer path from community college to enroll in the San Francisco, East Bay, Sonoma, Channel Islands, Chico, Fullerton, Los Angeles and San Bernardino campuses.

The decision comes after the university was dealt $750 million in state budget cuts this past year. If Gov. Jerry Brown’s proposed tax initiative is rejected by voters in November, the CSU will face a $200 million cut this year, according to the budget plan Brown announced in January.
