<p>I am currently a sophomore at the University of La Verne as a commuter (CA resident). The first year has been difficult for me with personal issues and also because I was declared as a Biology major which led me to receive many C's (No D's or F's). For fall 2013 I am taking a programming class which I am positive I will receive an A in, as for my other classes I believe I will receive A's and B's. Though is it possible for me to get in with such a low GPA, if not are there any other options (UC's or other CSU's)? What should I do?</p>
<p>It is hard to guess, since Pomona does not publish past thresholds for admission, unlike [San</a> Jose](<a href=“http://info.sjsu.edu/static/admission/impaction.html]San”>http://info.sjsu.edu/static/admission/impaction.html).</p>
<p>For safeties, non-impacted (for transfers) campuses where CS is not impacted (where a 2.0 GPA is needed for admission) include:</p>
<p>Bakersfield
Channel Islands
Dominguez Hills
East Bay
Humboldt
Monterey Bay
Northridge
Stanislaus</p>
<p>However, check the CS course offerings at each campus to make sure that they are suitable for you. For example, Monterey Bay’s CS department has more of an IT focus.</p>
<p>Of the above, Dominguez Hills and Northridge do have ABET accreditation in CS, if you need it for patent exam purposes or want it as a marker of meeting a minimum standard of quality.</p>
<p>Of course, you can apply for additional campuses like Pomona and San Jose (and UCs like Riverside and Santa Cruz), but should not expect them to be safeties. San Jose does have a similar software engineering major that has had lower thresholds for admission.</p>
