<p>I want to major in computer science but it is very crazy impacted in most schools in CA and requires a higher gpa than average ppl who do get in to the school. I am actaully fine withe engineering majors like EE or CE. i like both hardware and software. but the main problem is i want to get into college. So what major should i decide to apply for? i have a 3.0 gpa which is like the tip of most UC and high CSU..</p>
<p>You shouldn’t decide on your major based on what you can get into but what you want to do for most of your life.</p>
<p>According to <a href=“http://www.calstate.edu/sas/publications/documents/impactedprogramsmatrix.pdf[/url]”>http://www.calstate.edu/sas/publications/documents/impactedprogramsmatrix.pdf</a> , CS is impacted at the following CSUs: Fullerton, Long Beach, Pomona, San Diego, San Jose, San Luis Obispo.</p>
<p>CSUs that do not have major impaction for CS (but may have campus impaction) include: Chico, Dominguez Hills, Los Angeles, Northridge, Sacramento, San Bernardino, San Francisco. Dominguez Hills is not campus impacted, so you should be admitted with just baseline CSU eligibility.</p>
<p>San Jose and San Luis Obispo also have a software engineering major that is rather similar to the CS major.</p>
<p>Last season’s admission thresholds at San Jose are shown here: [Info.sjsu.edu[/url</a>]</p>
<p>Another option is to start at a community college, do well there, and then transfer to a UC or CSU (if you do well at a community college, you may have more choices than you do for frosh admission). If you go this route, use <a href=“http://www.assist.org%5B/url%5D”>http://www.assist.org](<a href=“http://info.sjsu.edu/static/admission/impaction.html]Info.sjsu.edu[/url”>http://info.sjsu.edu/static/admission/impaction.html)</a> to check course applicability.</p>
