Hi! I’m an international student, came to Seattle Central College from Sweden at the beginning of 2019. I have since then transferred out to a state school in Minnesota, but don’t feel like it’s my place in the world. My girlfriend lives in San Francisco and I LOVE the city, and I have applied to SFSU for fall 21, but now stress a lot about getting in.
My GPA from Seattle is 3.5 (current college GPA will probably be the same or higher), I will have the golden 4’s done (math class this spring in Minnesota), applying to Visual Communication Design which is no longer an impacted major. I have talked to admissions counselors and such, and they all basically say that I don’t have to worry, but would love some students’ experiences and some calming words as well. Have I missed anything?
Asking as I’m an international and not 100% understood with the whole college admission process; so take SFSU as of last year where they apparently admitted around 78% of transfer students. Would that mean that a whopping 22% didn’t have a GPA of over 2.0? Or does it mean they didn’t necessarily have the golden 4s?
Seeing as there are quite a few impacted majors, that makes more sense. Having gone through transfer to a design program at uni before, I’m surprised (but also relieved I guess haha) that the Visual Communication Design program is lifted from impacted majors.
