<p>1) Many CSUs are taking transfers primarily from their “local” students. “Local” is defined by each CSU and usually is students from their own county or a few surrounding counties. Being “local” is defined not by where you live at the moment, but by where you took the majority of your CC credits.</p>
<p>2) Your GPA is too low for SJSU Nursing Transfer. (Assuming you are “local” - you are even worse off if not local). While minimum requirement is a 2.6 for transfer, the ACTUAL GPA cutoff because of competition for Fall 2010 was a 3.35 GPA. Link below shows the actual matrix for SJSU Fall Transfers/GPA needed.</p>

<p>At SJSU, Nursing is a “red” impacted major - they are overstuffed and can’t take everyone. So they rank you by location (locals first) and then rank you by GPA and take students until program is full. Chart says 3.35 was the cutoff.</p>
<p>Nursing is impacted at EVERY CSU right now. See below link. You need to research what reasonable GPA you need for <em>each</em> CSU. Start with your “local” one.</p>

<p>I don’t know about UCDavis, but I suspect the same issues. 3.0 is likely not going to cut it right now. Start looking to privates. Raise your GPA. Good luck.</p>
