<p>Hi. …would love if some experienced student or parent would reply to this.</p>
<p>How difficult is it to get into CPSLO civ. engineering after attending this CC? if accepted will the courses from the cc adequately prepare my son for the Civil engineering course work at a UC or CPSLO?
What GPA would be needed, and to extra curriculars matter?
Thanks in advance for your insight!!!</p>
<p>I’m assuming your talking about Cal Poly.</p>
<p>Their admission decisions is based strictly on a mathematical formula which can be found if you snoop around. Basically, completion of the IGETC coursework has a great priority, while GPA, EC’s, etc. are secondary.</p>
<p>In my experience, the transfer process into that school is frustrating. Browse the Cal Poly transfer threads from past years and you’ll get an understanding of what gets accepted.</p>
<p><a href=“Welcome to ASSIST”>Welcome to ASSIST; indicates that there are 6 civil engineering courses and 5 other courses at CPSLO for which there are no equivalents at Foothill.</p>
<p>Other community colleges (e.g. Ohlone) have a few of these missing courses (the tech writing, geology, and materials courses), but you will still likely have to take many “catch up” courses after transfer to CPSLO.</p>
<p>Foothill’s coverage of civil engineering at SJSU is somewhat better, but Mission or West Valley have better coverage than Foothill of civil engineering at SJSU.</p>
