SDSU 2022 Transfers

That is great info. The problem is the local priority takes up a significant portion of the admits. If you are local, you can TAG (transfer admission guarantee) to SDSU with a very low 2.5 GPA and knock a higher GPA transfer out of an admission spot. Not all majors accept TAG but if, for instance, they plan to admit 20 students as transfers and they get 20 local TAG apps for that major that leaves zero spots for higher stat transfers even if they have 4.0s and all the prerequisites done. I suspect that is why you see some high stat transfers getting denied from time to time. This happens when the open spots were filled up by locals with lower GPAs but a guaranteed admission.
