CSU's have opened up Spring transfers?

<p>That's what my friend told me yesterday so I went online and he was right. But Cal Poly Pomona seems to have Biology listed as a "closed major" for that session which is what my major is. Does this mean I can't apply then?</p>

<p>Also when is the application period for Fall 2011?</p>

<p>Also anyone know what GPA they usually require from a Bio major for admission? O-Chem, Physics, Calc, and almost all of Bio will be done.</p>

3

<p>Are you in Cal Poly’s service area? This is determined by which CCC you attended (which you earned the most units at).</p>

<p>Its easier to get into Pomona from Citrus and Mt Sac (and maybe one or two more) than other CCCs.</p>

<p>Not really sure, I live about 25 minutes away. How can I find out?</p>

5

<p>Your town/city should be in the same county as Pomona.</p>

6

<p>Your CC would know for sure. Generally, it’s whatever the CCC’s closest CSU is.</p>

<p>Thanks. Guess I don’t have that benefit. It shouldn’t be that much of a factor in admission though? I thought Cal Poly wasn’t too hard to get into.</p>

<p>Apparently last year the GPA cutoff for out of area students was about 3.3; I talked to someone from admissions who thought it might be 3.4 this year.</p>

<p>For Fullerton, last year’s cut off was 3.7 (!), which is very high for a CSU. I imagine it has something to do with the lower cost, and the increased flexibility CSUs offer. Still, its crazy you can be guaranteed into UCSD with a 3.0, and rejected from Cal State Fullerton with a 3.65. You’ve got a great shot at UCLA with a 3.7!</p>

<p>Hm that sounds fishy to me, have a hard time believing any CSU would need a 3.7 as a bio major to transfer. Anyone else back that up?</p>

<p>I thought so too. Here’s the relevant section of the email I received:</p>

<p>

<p>Wow. I’d like to believe whoever wrote that was making it up but if not that really sucks. My GPA when I apply will be around 3.3 (for CPP) and I’m not in Tier 1 so looks like I have no chance.</p>

13

<p>Yeah… Maybe it was a typo or something. I mentioned it to my CCC’s transfer center and they didn’t seem surprised. They said a lot of their students got rejected from Fullerton last year, but accepted to better schools.</p>

<p>I’m not too interested in Fullerton myself, but if you are, I’d shoot an email to <a href=“mailto:transfer@fullerton.edu”>transfer@fullerton.edu</a>. The email above was a response to a message I sent to that address.</p>

14

<p>Yeah I really have no interest in Fullerton either I’m just trying to figure out why CSU’s are suddenly being so demanding when people used to get in with 2.somethings. </p>

<p>Anyway I’ll be applying for Fall 2011 so hopefully things will have gotten better by then.</p>

<p>CSUs have experienced a very large increase in applications during the past two years. At the same time the state budget crisis has hit the CSUs especially hard forcing them to cut enrollment and significantly curtail admissions. More applicants chasing fewer positions can only result in an increase in the competetion for the reduced number of spots available.</p>
