What is considered a competitive applicant for a community college student looking to transfer to San Diego state university as a biology major?
What is your CSU Transfer GPA?
Have you completed all the required major pre-req’s?
Have you completed the Golden 4?
Are you within the local SD service area?
Overall the College of Science had a transfer admit rate of 11%. The admit rate by major is not yet posted, but Biology is usually one of the more competitive majors just due to the # of applicants.
Biology requires a minimum 2.8 GPA to apply but I would say to be competitive, a 3.5+ GPA would be in range. If you are local and have your ADT, then your chances can be better with a lower GPA.
