Hey all, this may be a weird question but I’ve applied for Spring 2020 to a couple schools that aren’t my first choice (CSUMB, HSU) and will be applying to my preferred CSUs for Fall 2020 (CSULB, CSUF, SFSU). Since I won’t know the decisions for fall until spring I figured that I could attend a CSU this spring and if I get into one of my more desired schools for fall, could transfer after the spring semester. This way I at least guarantee myself a spot in a CSU even if my first choices end up not working out. Does this sound like a reasonable plan? Does anyone know how hard it is to transfer from CSU to CSU, especially after only one semester?
Having a fall back plan while you progress toward your ultimate goal is typically a good idea. i think all of the CSUs have a cap of 90 transfer units so, if you go over that, you could loose some units with the second transfer.
good luck
