Does hopeful CSU Long Beach Transfer Student have okay GPA?
So I'm applying to CSU's right this moment on csumentor.com for the Fall 2013 semester. I am a transfer student from a CCC. I have a really important, quick question! On one section of the form it says to list, "All transferable undergraduate college work: GPA =" So should I put my *current* GPA as of all completed classes? (Which is a 3.33) Or would it be acceptable to estimate my GPA before I actually transferred? (Which will be about a 3.50) As a Health Care Administration major, the average GPA acceptance rates as of last year at CSULB varied between a 3.0 - 3.43. I am afraid I will be rejected if I list a 3.33 GPA because it isn't too impressive and I'm afraid if I estimate a higher GPA, I might get into trouble for being inaccurate. Any advice? I'm leaning towards listing a 3.44 GPA because that will be my GPA assuming I earn A's this semester (which is not going to be a struggle). Given that CSU's don't even start looking at application until the end of this semester, it should be okay? Thanks for all and any advice!
Could you transfer to a different college under a different major?
What you are asking is whether you can apply to U of M with an application specifying intention to study a particular major. After you are accepted, you want to switch majors to one for which you do not have the prerequisites. First, only faculty at U of M can really address this. Because students change majors all the time, I suspect that there are no rules against your following this plan. You might find, however, that once you are at U of M, your academic adviser will not approve your "change of major" until you take courses so that the prerequisites are met. You would, theoretically, be a sophomore, but you would still be taking the "freshman" classes which everyone else who originally declared that major took during their freshman year. Naturally, your graduation will be delayed because you had to "make up for lost time." There is, however, another possibility. Your academic adviser might approve the change of major, and you find yourself in sophomore classes in the different major without proper groundwork. You would either have to take the "freshman" and "sophomore" classes at the same time, or struggle through the sophomore classes as best you can, trying to figure out the "basics" which everyone else knows. In any case, your question was "Is there something blocking that?" My suspicion is that there is no "block," and you are free to give it a try, knowing what you'll be up against.
