<p>I noticed they barely ask you what classes you took.</p>
<p>Is there some sort of update where you get to add all your classes/grades?</p>
<p>From what I recall from my daughter’s transfer process last year…</p>
<p>They only ask for a few classes (as you noticed - usually the key 4, including math, english and communications) … and then ask for a SELF-REPORTED GPA.</p>
<p>Based on your self-reported GPA, you will get ranked. You are put in either a “local” bucket (taken from first) or “in-state but not local” (second) and “out of state” (third). Based on your rank <em>within your major</em> and starting with the first bucket, the CSUs start filling up their class spots.</p>
<p>That is the general process – some colleges will ask for transcripts faster than others – some don’t seem to ask for them until after having been accepted. </p>
<p>To show the range of responses – she applied Oct 1. Humbolt gave her an almost immediate acceptance w/o seeing a transcript or updated grades. On the opposite end, Chico was silent most of spring and asked for transcript in late March (!) and then gave her an acceptance about a week later. </p>
<p>So based on our experiences last year, you apply now – and then wait for the college/s to request your transcripts/grades. Some may want them right away, others will leave you hanging. A lot of this depends on how competitive you are (auto admit), if you are local or not (tend to hear quicker), etc.</p>
<p>Be sure to login to the CSU accounts set up by the colleges for transfer applicants checking admission status and updated requests.</p>
<p>I applied to SDSU for the Spring semester back in September and was just admitted. From what I remember they only asked for those core requirements. I didn’t report my GPA correctly - cumulative was different since I had attended prior colleges and didn’t factor those in. I was stressed out about it but when I looked at my info once admitted, I saw that they had reviewed my transcripts and reported the correct GPA for my records. So in my case, they thoroughly reviewed my transcripts. As far as I know I don’t have to report any other classes since I’ve been admitted and they’ve already reviewed my records.</p>
