<p>[Info.sjsu.edu[/url</a>] lists the GPA thresholds for transfer students by major for fall 2012 and 2013 admissions to SJSU.</p>
<p>Mechanical engineering transfers to SJSU needed a 3.35 GPA for fall 2012 and 2.55 GPA for fall 2013.</p>
<p>Other CSUs and UCs are not as transparent about their admission thresholds. But <a href=“http://www.calstate.edu/sas/documents/impactedprogramsmatrix.pdf[/url]”>http://www.calstate.edu/sas/documents/impactedprogramsmatrix.pdf](<a href=“http://info.sjsu.edu/static/admission/impaction.html]Info.sjsu.edu[/url”>http://info.sjsu.edu/static/admission/impaction.html)</a> indicates that there are several CSUs that are not impacted for engineering, so your GPA needs to just meet the campus impaction threshold (or 2.0 if not campus impacted). [CSU</a> Campus Impaction Information | Student Academic Support | CSU](<a href=“http://www.calstate.edu/sas/impaction-campus-info.shtml]CSU”>http://www.calstate.edu/sas/impaction-campus-info.shtml) indicates that Northridge and Stanislaus are not campus impacted; as they are not impacted for engineering, they would be admission safeties. But you can also try for several other CSUs that may be campus or major impacted, but less so than the ones already on your list.</p>
<p>SLO has its own additional point system for its admissions; local applicants get some extra points. However, it is the most selective CSU campus, so even local applicants face high admission thresholds.</p>
<p>For UCs, you may want to add Riverside to your application list.</p>
<p>Also, run the net price calculators on each school to check cost and financial aid.</p>
