@Gumbymom, my son was accepted to SJSU for CS back in February and waiting to find out the waitlist status as a CS major from a couple of UCs and SCU. For UC transfers I understand it would be most advantageous to transfer from a California Community College.

My son just asked me for transfer advice after 1 or two years if he decided on attending a private university or non-California public university. Do you have any advice on whether it would be better to transfer from San Jose State or from a community college? He is specifically interested in UW, Stanford, and possibly USC for a CS degree. He also plans to check directly with those schools though wanted to also ask on this forum. Thank you!
