Transfer as CSU student with CC Units

State Forums
1

Hello everyone,

I’ve earned 42 units in CSUN in my first two years and due to my financial circumstances, moved to bay area and attended SJCC for 13 units this semester. I am planning to earn about 20 units next year and apply for transfer to SJSU/UCSC/SCU. I’m standing on GPA 2.4 in CSUN and 3.8 in SJCC. However, I read several posts saying how hard it is to transfer as CSU student. I will be withdrawn from CSUN starting next semester. I am anticipating to apply for CS major in UCSC/SCU and Design Studies for SJSU (due to CS major impacted GPA being 3.5+), is this plan unwise?

i think your GPA is going to make those schools very tough transfer targets for CS. I’d look at CSUEB and SF State as alternates.
Good luck
