<p>Hello all. I am currently a student at Moorpark college. This is going to be my third year. Unfortunately things have not gone as planned and the highest GPA I can accumulate after this semester is a 2.73. I want to transfer as a chemistry major. Which UC's and CSU's would you guys recommend I apply to? In terms of extracurriculars I have been volunteering at UCLA since the start of the summer.</p>
<p>I also forgot to add that I would be IGETC certified and for some of the UC’s and CSU’s that require completion of the physics series, I would be missing physics M20C. In terms of math for some of the UC’s I would be missing linear algebra.</p>
<p>Chemical *engineering<a href=“which%20has%20much%20better%20job%20and%20career%20prospects%20than%20chemistry”>/i</a> only needed a 2.0 GPA to transfer into at San Jose State for fall 2011 (chemistry needed a 3.0 GPA):</p>
<p>[SJSU</a> Admission](<a href=“http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/narr/admission/rec-1209.html]SJSU”>http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/narr/admission/rec-1209.html)</p>
<p>But you’ll want to complete the needed physics and math before you transfer.</p>
<p>The one problem with SJSU is that they have a very different set of admission standards for in service area and out of service area applicants. If the OP applies from within the SJSU service area he probably does have a good chance of acceptance with 2.73 GPA but if he is out of their service area he would probably need something north of a 3.5 and would have a better chance of getting into one of the less competitive UCs.</p>
<p>CSUB. They will take anyone as long as they have a pulse </p>

<p>i think merced and santa cruz as far as uc’s go. with csu’s ur better off with the ones that arn’t overcrowded cuz they get selective especially with ur major</p>

<p>[SJSU</a> Admission](<a href=“http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/narr/admission/rec-1209.html]SJSU”>http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/narr/admission/rec-1209.html) says:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So if a transfer applicant with a 2.73 GPA applied to chemical engineering at SJSU for fall 2011, s/he would have been admitted, as the GPA threshold was 2.00. But if s/he applied to chemistry instead, where the GPA threshold was 3.00, s/he would have been admitted as undeclared if most of his/her units were from local colleges, or rejected if most of his/her units were from non-local colleges.</p>

<p>CSU Bakersfield is not impacted, but a transfer applicant still needs to meet minimum CSU transfer requirement as described here:</p>
<p>[CSUMentor</a> - Plan for College - Transfer Students - Transfer Applicant Overview and Definitions](<a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Cal State Apply | CSU)</p>
<p>You can see which CSU campuses and majors are impacted here:</p>

<p>I’d highly recommend CSULB</p>
<p>you could have a chance at cal poly pomona also. They have chemistry AND chemical engineering. Wouldn’t hurt to apply.</p>
<p>csub will take you. Plus its cheaper than other csu’s although your compromising on location and having a commuter campus </p>

<p>You have a good chance to UCR and cal poly pomona (50-60 % ish). Slight chance for UCSC (10-15%). I am being honest with you because I just had a lot friends with a GPA like that who only got accepted to those schools.</p>
