<p>I just completed my freshman year at a community college in southern california. I know its a broad question but I am very curious about the whole process a university goes through when selecting potential transfer students from local areas and non-local. Right now I am completing most of my undergrad work, and working on a few prerequisites for Nursing at a college that is not in the region of the university I would like to transfer to which is San Diego State. How could I increase my chances of getting accepted to colleges that are non-local? My overall GPA right now is at 3.7</p>
<p>Also, I am somewhat confused in how assist works aswell as the transfer process. For instance, do I have to complete all the pre-requisites for a major before I am accepted to the university that I am required to declare my major to? Or, do I just have to finish the IGETC portion to be able to transfer? If I just finish the IGETC portion do I have to complete the rest of the prerequisites at the University?</p>
