Should my son give up on college?

<p>Here is how one CSU, San Jose State, did transfer admissions in fall 2012:

<p>Assuming that you have completed the specified general education and major preparation requirements, if your previous college GPA exceeds a GPA threshold for your major (determined by how popular the major is relative to the space available), you are admitted. Applicants from local colleges who do not meet this GPA requirement but do meet the minimum CSU standards (2.0 GPA for state residents, 2.4 GPA for non-residents) are admitted as undeclared (and have to apply to declare a major after matriculating); others are rejected.</p>

<p>It is not entirely clear how GPA is calculated for transfer applicants when there are repeated courses:
