CSU Preparation
• A-G Subject requirements (must be completed by
graduation.)
• Test Scores (SAT/ACT)
• Academic GPA (10th-12th)
• Eligibility Index (2900-3200 SAT or 694-760 ACT)
Remember! All admission is provisional,
until verification of final transcript.
5
Fall 2011: Selection
Impaction: SJSU receives applications from more eligible students
than there is space for. Therefore, meeting the minimum
requirements may not be enough to gain admission to SJSU.
6
Local vs. Non-Local Admission Areas
LOCAL:
Graduating from Santa Clara County HS
NON-LOCAL: Graduating from HS outside of Santa Clara County
LOCAL: Guaranteed offer of provisional admission to the university with
minimum CSU eligibility, however admission to major of choice is not
guaranteed.
NON-LOCAL: Admission is offered to non-local applicants based on the
overall space available in their major.

Fall 2011 Appeals
9
•
SJSU reviews each applicant's record thoroughly in the admission
process and admission decisions are rarely reversed. The
admissions process is completely objective, based on each
applicant's self-reported academic qualifications on the CSU
Application for Admission and official transcripts and test scores
received by published deadlines.
•
SJSU does not set aside space in our class for students who appeal
admission decisions. Every denied application has been reviewed for
maximum consideration. Therefore, for an appeal to have merit, it
must bring to light new academic information (send official
documentation of new information to eval@sjsu.edu). Grades
received in the current academic year are not a basis for an appeal or
the reversal of a decision.
•
SJSU does not consider appeals to missed deadlines, no matter how
compelling the circumstances.
