<p>I’m looking at a between a 3.5-3.7 when I would apply. I have work experience and I am part of my cc’s honors society. What would be the minimum gpa, I know the average for 14-15 gpa is 3.54. My intended concentration is accounting. The two schools i’m looking at are ucsb and SLO. How hard is it actually to get into Cal Poly? I would be applying next fall.</p>
<p>You’ve missed the application window for next fall (2015) at both schools - it closed 12/1.
SLO is more selective for tansfers than they are for freshman applicants. It’s probably harder to transfer into SLO than UCSB - here are the stats:

If you are in California, look into the UC Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program, you can use that to get you into UCSB with a 3.3-3.5 depending on major. There are caveats and requirements, You have to sign up in advance.</p>
<p>@NCalRent I will be tagging ucsb but for cal poly would 3.7 be good enough? Also does the school only look at grades or does it look at extra circulars for transfers? </p>

They look at other stuff too</p>
<p>Keep in mind that UCSB does not have an undergraduate business school like Cal Poly has with Ofalea. UCSB does have economics and accounting degree programs under college of Letters & Science. Cal Poly program much more comprehensive in full range of business curriculum. It is difficult to get into as a transfer—see statistics in Keys to the Kingdom pinned post.</p>
<p>My concentration would be accounting and I know that UCSB has a lot of recruitment there. Cal Poly has a very good accounting school and it too has lots of recruitment. I would be tagging UCSB but what would be the ideal stats for getting into Cal Poly?
Thank you @Dadfan and @NCalRent for the response </p>
