This quarter, you needed a 4.0 to transfer into CS at UCSD

Everyone who was admitted and shared their statistics had a 4.0 in their prerequisite courses, while students with GPAs as high as 3.98 were rejected. The minimum GPA typically varies from quarter to quarter, but it’s probably not going to get much easier next year.

My standard spiel for anyone trying to enter the CS department: “You can try to transfer into Computer Science at the end of each quarter at UCSD. Admission is based solely on GPA. Prior to applying, you need to pass four courses: CSE 8B or 11, CSE 12, CSE 15L, and CSE 20 or Math 15A. The odds of getting in vary from quarter to quarter; it’s difficult, but not impossible. Other engineering departments have a similar process with different prerequisite courses. Many students also consider majoring in Mathematics-Computer Science, Cognitive Science or other related disciplines.”

ALSO: Math-CS will be capped beginning Fall 2016, having grown 1000% in the last three years. If you weren’t accepted to CSE or Math-CS, but want to study computer science, strongly consider another university or a community college.

Sorry. I tried to redo the first link, but it didn’t come out right. Tried to erase it with the edit feature, but that didn’t work either.
