Transferring with a 2.73 GPA

The one problem with SJSU is that they have a very different set of admission standards for in service area and out of service area applicants.

@SJSU

For Fall 2011, SJSU ranked all transfer applicants by major based on self-reported grade point average (GPA) and offered admission to sufficient numbers of students to meet the individual major’s capacity.</p>

<p>For those who did not meet the individual major’s GPA threshold, but who met the CSU eligibility criteria, SJSU offered admission to the “Undeclared” major to all local applicants who earned the majority of their transferable units from a Santa Clara county or Santa Cruz county college.</p>

<p>For those applicants with the majority of transferable units earned at a college outside of Santa Clara or Santa Cruz Counties and who did not meet the major threshold, the Fall 2011 application was withdrawn as unaccommodated.

<p>So if a transfer applicant with a 2.73 GPA applied to chemical engineering at SJSU for fall 2011, s/he would have been admitted, as the GPA threshold was 2.00. But if s/he applied to chemistry instead, where the GPA threshold was 3.00, s/he would have been admitted as undeclared if most of his/her units were from local colleges, or rejected if most of his/her units were from non-local colleges.</p>
