What are my chances of getting into San Jose state if I’m a local but have a 2.9 GPA?
Your GPA is above the threshold from last year of 2.80 so I would say your chances are good if the GPA threshold remains the same.
Even better with Local GPA bump.
As of Fall 2019, additional preference was given to local applicants through a .25 GPA increase for those applicants who earned the majority of their transferable units at the time of application from a Santa Clara or Santa Cruz county college.
