Here is my situation

<p>I'm planning to transfer to Cal Poly for Business Administration. I am currently attending a Community College.</p>

<p>The thing is, since one Math course was closed upon enrollment this Fall, I thought I would not be able to meet the General Education requirements but I just figured out that I can actually apply and <em>probably</em> get it. My GPA is 3.43, have a few C's, some A's but mostly B's.</p>

<p>I need some Math and Speech class to just finish which I can this coming Spring and Summer...</p>

<p>Now, the deadline is November 30 and today is the 27th. Should I try catching up with the application or should I just apply for Fall 2014 (Cal Poly only takes application for Fall)?</p>

<p>My situation is more complex since I moved to the US about 4 years ago and actually have attended some college in the Philippines but they don't really accredit the Universities/Colleges over there so that means I have to start from scratch.</p>

<p>I've looked through the transfer requirements and they seem to want SAT and/or AP, none of which exist in the Philippines nor any equivalent. Also, they require transcripts from ALL colleges/universities attended (though this is requested AFTER admission from what I understand) so I think I may need more time to look through these and talk to a counselor.</p>

<p>I would really want to get into Cal Poly since it's the nearest University that is nearest from where I live (45 minutes drive). As you see, I'm not much of a travel person. My second choice though is San Jose State University.</p>

<p>I am also trying to see the application requirements and deadline for San Jose State University but I could not find it. I hope someone can point me to the right link/direction here.</p>

<p>Also, I would like to know if one can reapply for Cal Poly? Say, if I try to apply before the deadline and not accepted, will I be eligible to apply for Fall 2014 or is it all a one-time application?</p>

<p>I wish they'd open Spring application again.....<em>sigh</em></p>

<p>Also, I'm on Financial Aid and I believe FAFSA has a limit of 5 years. And currently, I'm on my third year. So if I apply for Fall 2014, I may have one year left to be able to qualify for FAFSA.</p>

<p>Should I decide to apply for Fall 2014, I am planning to take more non-General Ed transferable courses in hopes that this will help shorten the time I have to spend in the University.</p>

<p>Note that the last day to apply is November 30. Do NOT wait until the 30th to send in your application, in the past their system has crashed due to too many trying to apply at the last minute.</p>

<p>Give it a shot. Worst case scenario they say no. And yes you can apply next year.</p>
