<p>Hey everyone, I have a question for transfers that came to CPP from a CC. I have already submitted an application for computer science major at CPP and on it I put down that I was taking calc1 this quarter (which I am) but there is a very high chance I’m going to withdraw from this class soon. I was wondering how is this going to affect my chances and if it will automatically deny my application? </p>
<p>So far I have a 3.08 GPA with IGETC done and the 4 golden rules completed.</p>
<p>It doesn’t “automatically” deny your application if it doesn’t violate one of these four things:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Have a college grade-point average of 2.0 or better in all transferable units attempted (2.4 or better for non-California residents);</p></li>
<li><p>Be in good standing at the last college or university you attended;</p></li>
<li><p>Have completed or will complete prior to transfer at least 30 semester units (45 quarter units) of general education (GE) requirements with a grade of “C” or better. The 30 semester units must include English composition, oral communication, critical thinking and college-level mathematics;</p></li>
<li><p>All 60 transferable semester college units must be completed by: end of the previous spring for Fall Quarter*, end of the previous summer for Winter Quarter, end of the previous fall for Spring Quarter, and end of the previous fall for Summer Quarter.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Your GPA is a little low since the transfer GPA to the college of science is 3.24.</p>

<p>Don’t let that discourage you, but keep your options as open as possible in case you don’t get an admission offer.</p>
<p>I dropped a Ceramics class at the beginning of the spring semester and another class about 8 weeks in.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it if it isn’t significant to your major. </p>
<p>I know several people as a math major that didn’t even have 2/3rds of the prerequisites finished. Kind of crazy. It definitely cuts down on the amount you pay later on though for the same kind of class. Plus, it’ll be harder to take Calc I at a 4 year as opposed to a CC.</p>
<p>@CEinCali Thank you for your response, I’m sort of worried now since my GPA isn’t that great but I heard that comp sci wasn’t impacted so I was a tad happy for a bit… I really like the school from reading everything I found about it so far.</p>
<p>@CalDUD Thats great to hear and I’ll take your advice about calc into consideration, maybe I’ll just take it in the summer prior to transfer for completion.</p>
<p>I appreciate both of your responses, ironically most of the information that I researched were from posts that both CEinCali and CalDud had made on this site about CPP!</p>
<p>hey guys, I ended up withdrawing from that class. What should my next steps be? The courses I have put down as “planned” on my CPP app are not going to be the same now and I’m seriously getting worried. I know that there is a time I believe in Dec-Jan where you can update your app but is that too late? Thanks again</p>
<p>Also to Caldud,</p>
<p>Thank you again for your stat reference list. I had a question regarding that though, on the list I saw a student that had a 2.9 GPA as Comp Sci and was rejected. I was curious to know if you knew why that reason why? I scrolled the original thread and couldnt find anything. Also do people normally have 100% or close to completed major prerequs when applying to CPP? I’m more of the 50-60 which is worse then what you reported from your math major friends who had 2/3 at least. Damn, withdrawing from that Calc1A class really bit me hard.</p>
<p>Besides the impacted majors, I am pretty sure it runs on an algorithm that goes by GPA. The longer you wait, the farther you are down the list of GPA’s. The only thing that I think will hurt you badly as a transfer student is if you do not have the golden four completed by the time you transfer, but you have that completed. You need to have 60 units minimum. Also if you live far away that could be bad.</p>
<p>If you have 60 units and 3.0+ after this fall, I think you should be OK. I don’t think you’ll get an offer of admission until maybe April or May, though. </p>
<p>Just update your planned courses or whatever and you should be alright. </p>
<p>And no, people definitely don’t have close to 100% when applying, but it is better to transfer with it completed because you don’t want to be a junior taking freshman or sophomore level computer programming classes for like x3 the amount of what you pay at a CC. I was ahead of most of my peers by having taken every math/physics classes they offered at my CC, but I have an engineering buddy that did not take any engineering classes like statics at CC, so he’s doing it now (and acing it). </p>
<p>I don’t know about the 2.9 guy, though. It was probably because he didn’t meet the threshold that year. Out of my closest engineering buddies, I think the lowest anyone had of them was like a 3.2 that got in. My CSUN friend had a 2.7 by the time he applied, so he definitely didn’t get in even though he waited till like July or so before committing to CSUN hoping to get off the wait-list. Sometimes you get lucky but most of the acceptances should go out by May.</p>
