Transfer: local admit area

I live ten minutes away from Cal Poly Pomona and would really love to go there. There is only the issue of “local area impaction.” On the cpp website it just lists Citrus College and Mt Sac, not a specific area. I go to school with Coastline. I’m three semesters in so I don’t want to start at a new CCC and lose my priority registration.

Does anyone know if there is an clause to the local area rule, since I do live close? My major is not impacted, though I need to sort this out soon because CPP requires two more semesters of a foreign language that I need to make room for on my schedule.

I know they take people outside the area, but they are second choice and held to a much higher standard. Does anyone have any info or advice?

For most majors, a 3.0 will get you in as a transfer, even if you are out of the area. That’s not too difficult to maintain.
