Want to get into impacted major...should I go into the school as an undeclared major?

I want to transfer into an impacted major that requires 3.75 to get accepted, I currently have 3.7 and was wondering if I transferred into the college undeclared… would the program look at my new GPA that I earn at the CSU when I try to reapply to the program.

You need to look at the specific major’s criteria for changing into coming from being an undeclared enrolled student. Since you named neither the school nor the major, it is unlikely that others can help you.

It’s the animation and illustration degree at San Jose State.

If there is any information about how undeclared students can declare the animation major at SJSU, it seems to be well-hidden. You may want to ask the department directly with your questions.
