<p>Im a sophomore at CSU Fresno in as a Bus Admin Major and I really want to transfer into some other school in California that would be an academic upgrade.</p>
<p>I should have a 3.9 GPA and 64 units completed by the time of transfer, and my GPA should stay this high or get higher depending on how this year goes.</p>
<p>I will have all my GE completed except one upper division requirement.</p>
<p>I will have the following business prereqs completed by transfer: financial and managerial accounting, business law, micro and macro econ, one "quantitative analysis" class, and stats. They don't offer Business calculus at Fresno state, an important Business prereq to many colleges, but I did pass my AP STATS exam with a 4, which can sometimes be just as good depending on the school. </p>
<p>Iv'e wanted to transfer for awhile now, but it seems like many California schools have run into budget problems which kills the transfer acceptance rate. I'm applying to Cal Poly, but I don't have much hope for it to work out. </p>
<p>My basic question is, what other schools should I apply for a transfer too? Anybody offering any advice or comment will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.</p>
<p>well, the transfer acceptance rate for my major at Cal Poly is 9%. that’s rough. Does anyone know if taking just an equivalent course to Math 2A for UC Irvine be good enough. I plan on taking a math class at a community college next semester to get credit to transfer.</p>
<p>well if you really want to get into cal poly all you need to do is drop out of CSU and go to CC in SLO like cuesta and youre pretty much guaranteed entrance because of local area admissions, as long as you have a gpa like that and all/most pre-reqs, and if you leave a csu to CC im sure that wont be a problem.</p>
<p>Transferring from CSU to UC is notoriously difficult, it could be more difficult than a CSU to CSU transfer.</p>
<p>But since your GPA is very high, I think you have a shot at both.</p>
<p>You are way above the average transfer GPA of 3.47 at Cal Poly for Business. I think you have a very good shot even though the budget situation is bad.</p>
<p>I’ve though about transfering to cuesta or some other CC, but it seems like a drastic step, but I guess it could be better for my education in the long run. I reay wush I knew it would be this hard to transfer out of here. Thanks for the information everyone.</p>
<p>Cal Poly does <em>not</em> use the “local admit” criteria like the other CSUs. At least that is what I gathered last time I looked.</p>
<p>Also, almost every CSU uses a specific definition of “local” CCC transfer-- it doesn’t mean “the last place I took a class” or “I live here now” or “I’m enrolled here at the local CCC now” – it means the MAJORITY of courses were taken from the local CCC. You’d have to take an <em>additional</em> 64+ credits at the local CCC to overtake the 64 credits you already have from CSU Fresno to have that local CCC count for “local”. So - it doesn’t work very well either way.</p>
<p>If you can afford it, try Santa Clara University.</p>
<p>I actually did look into Santa Clara University, but I’m not really a fan of religious private schools, as they cost a lot and are too much religion for me since Im an Atheist. </p>
<p>Thanks for the information about Cal Poly though, much appreciated. I feel more confused than ever about what steps I should be taking now, haha.</p>
<p>Santa Clara University costs about the same as any private school (religious or not). I understand that finances play a huge role in ruling schools in or out for most students!</p>
<p>As for being a “religious” school, it is surprising how much it does <em>not</em> play into campus life. It is easy to filter out if that is what a student wishes. The student body is fairly liberal and there are plenty of atheists on campus. </p>
<p>There is a 3-religion class requirement, but clever planning can lead to religion classes that are quite diverse… courses on Islam, or courses on the lives of women in the early Christian era, etc. Meaning, the religion classes are not designed to proselytize but rather are historical, cultural, philosophical, comparative, etc.</p>
<p>Sounds like SCU isn’t a match for you. Just wanted to present some info in case someone else might be.</p>
