Transfer to CSU - Confused

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hey Guys,</p>

<p>I've been getting mixed answers and I just want to clarify once and for all: Do W's on your transcripts (from a community college AND a University) in general ed. courses affect your undergraduate admissions as a transfer student to a Cal State school like Fullerton?</p>

<p>I have a 3.91 GPA with about 7 W's from UNLV and about 15 more from my community college. Working full time and being married caused this. Will these W's prevent me from getting into CSUF?</p>

<p>I was told by one transfer center (CSUDH) that CSUF crosses W's off but then I was told by the CSUF transfer center that they do not ignore W's from a university and that they treat these like F's. Everyone else seems to think W's do not matter...which statement is true? Do CSU's really count W's from other Universities as F's?</p>

<p>My CC counselors are unable to give me a straight answer (big surprise right) so one of my last hopes is you all. </p>

<p>Thanks for the help.</p>

<p>As far as UC's are concerned, W's DO NOT matter. There is someone on the UC board who got into UCLA with something crazy like 20 W's.</p>

<p>So I'm guessing that CSUs have a similar policy. Keep in mind though that you were told that they don't ignore W's from UNIVERSITIES. I am referring to California Community College W's. Why ask CSUDH? Ask CSUF - their answer should be the one that matters.</p>

<p>Well there's a recruiter at CSUDH who's really easy to talk to and seems very knowledgeable about the CSU system as a whole. The CSUF transfer center person I spoke with however is actually a student so even though she's associated with CSUF, I'm not sure how reliable her information really is.</p>

<p>You're right about finding out from CSUF. I've tried every phone number I can get ahold of but no one seems to know the answer. Short of tracking down the Dean of Admissions, I'm not sure who else I can ask at CSUF.</p>
