Change of plans after submitting transfer applications to CSUs. Will this hurt me?

Hi,

I recently submitted transfer applications to Cal State Long Beach, Cal State Fullerton, and SFSU. I indicated in those applications that I’m working towards an Associate Degree for Transfer, but I think I will no longer be completing one. Will I be able to inform them of this change of plans, or will it end up hurting my chances of transferring successfully if what I ended up doing is not what I indicated on my application? I’m planning on seeing a counselor about this, but wanted to hear others’ opinions first. Thanks.
