<p>Those SJSU GPAs were the thresholds for admission. Basically, they just rank qualifying transfer applicants for each major by GPA and admit until they reach capacity. Yes, the application season for fall 2012 was unusually selective, possibly because of capacity-limiting budget cuts that may have been eased after Proposition 30 passed. I.e. with your GPA, you would not have been admitted to SJSU ME for fall 2012, but would have for SJSU ME for fall 2013.</p>
<p>Of course, the GPA thresholds for fall 2014 won’t be known until after application season, since they do not know now how many people with how good GPAs will apply to each major.</p>
