Hello, I am at currently attending Mt SAC as an English major. I am eligible to apply to transfer this Fall for admission next Fall but am having trouble deciding which ones to apply to. At this point I just kind of want to be done with school and get my bachelors. Which cal state do I have a better chance at getting into, as in which one would be easiest for me?
Current GPA: 3.46
Golden 4: ACB math-ip
next semester I will have all my GEs and taking some LIT classes.
Your local service area CSU will generally be your easiest one to get into (with some exceptions). What schools are you interested in? That would help narrow things down.
Cal Poly Pomona is your local CSU so you would get priority and it should be your target school.
Do you need to stay in the local area? If so, Cal State Fullerton is another good option or Cal State LA where you can use the Metro for commuting.
If you are open to other area’s of California, then Sonoma State, San Jose state, San Diego State, Cal State Long Beach all have respectable English departments.
Below is a link to the average CSU Transfer GPA by campus (unfortunately not by major) to help gauge your chances.
