Overall college GPA of 3.42 should be within transfer admission range for many schools. However, UCs and CSUs mostly want transfer students to have completed 60 credits before transfer. A few CSUs may admit lower division transfers with fewer than 60 credits (but high school records also come into play in that case).
Application Dates & Deadlines | CSU currently says the following:
- The only CSUs currently accepting applications for fall 2021 lower division transfer are Maritime, Sacramento, and San Francisco, but only Maritime has the business major open (and it is specialized for the shipping industry).
- Some CSUs are currently accepting applications for spring 2022 upper division transfer (you need to take enough courses in the fall to get over 60 credits, either at your current school or a community college). Of these, Chico, Humboldt, and San Marcos have the business major open, and San Diego has an online-only business major open.
Beyond the above, you could apply as an upper division transfer for fall 2022 to a much wider range of UCs and CSUs. However, this would likely result in additional calendar time delay to graduation.
However, the social aspects of various campuses vary. Note that most CSUs have a large population of commuters, so the on-campus social life may not be as big as at most of the UCs. However, some CSUs have a larger resident student population (or did pre-COVID-19), like Chico, Humboldt, Maritime, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Sonoma.
