<p>I am getting ready to transfer to a UC or CSU school for business from a California community college and was just wondering solely based off of GPA what schools.. I have a shot at when I first got in to CC I wasn't ready mentally for college and my GPA reflects that, However I am not using this as an excuse, I ultimately have to take responsibility for my own life... with that being said my UC and CSU transfer GPA looks like this in order from when I first started college until now 2.50, 2.44, 2.66, 2.78, 2.86, 2.94, 2.95, 3.0, 3.12, 3.24, 3,33, and now is at a 3.4 (I would like my GPA to be much higher but I understand this is what I am working with right now any suggestions to schools for business or any advice period would be great!.... Thank You</p>
<p>(Also I have a few Extracurriculars been in a band for five years and have toured Asia twice, In my schools Business Club, and have had a Military Civilian Job that was focused on helping the troops setting up sports leagues and Fitness activities) So basically i am just wondering what am I looking at as school options from the UC's and CSU's I have been told by some MY GPA for Business is not good and been told by others its Fine... Just seeking some more advice and opinions Thank you again.</p>
<p>You mean that your cumulative GPA is now 3.4, correct?</p>
<p>CSU campuses and majors which are not [impacted[/url</a>] should let you in with a 2.0 GPA assuming you have completed the necessary prerequisites. So those can be considered safeties.</p>
<p>Even some impacted CSUs may not be that hard to get into for some majors; for example, the business majors at SJSU for fall 2012 needed a 2.60 GPA for transfers, according to [url=<a href=“http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/narr/admission/rec-944.html]SJSU”>http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/narr/admission/rec-944.html]SJSU</a> Admission<a href=“but%20selectivity%20may%20be%20different%20in%20the%20future”>/url</a>.</p>
<p>With a 3.4 GPA you can aim at more selective schools in addition to safety level schools. For example, Cal Poly new transfer student business majors for 2011 had GPAs of 3.42 average, according to <a href=“Cal Poly Admissions”>Cal Poly Admissions](<a href=“http://www.calstate.edu/sas/impactioninfo.shtml]impacted[/url”>http://www.calstate.edu/sas/impactioninfo.shtml)</a> (but selectivity may be different in the future).</p>
<p>Several of the UCs are also possible with a 3.4 GPA, but most do not have actual business majors (Berkeley and Riverside do; some others have majors like business economics, management, etc.). Berkeley and UCLA would likely be difficult to get into; [UCLA’s</a> transfer student profile](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof11_mjr.htm]UCLA’s”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof11_mjr.htm) indicates that admitted transfer students in business economics had a 3.93 GPA average.</p>
<p>Well my accumulative GPA is 3.31 or 3.32 I believe but my UC transfer GPA is a 3.45 Does this hurt my chances … I have no one to blame but myself… I really wish I would have prepared more for school my first couple of semesters.</p>
<p>Your GPA means that the range of California public universities will have safeties (non-impacted CSUs), likelies (less selective schools like SJSU where the recent thresholds are lower than your GPA), matches (schools like Cal Poly where the GPA for students admitted to your intended major in recent years is similar to yours), reaches (probably the mid/upper level in selectivity UCs), and extremely unlikely reaches (Berkeley and UCLA).</p>
<p>Of course, you should run the net price calculators at each school’s web site to get an idea of financial aid.</p>
<p>Make your application list accordingly. Start with safeties and likelies that you like and can afford, then add any other schools you like that you have a chance of admission and can afford.</p>
<p>Thank you … You have been a great help!</p>
