Undergraduate Admissions
Click below to see the GPA, course requirements, and impaction results for Freshmen and Transfer students. Prepare for the application! Watch our pre-recorded Cal State Apply workshop for Fall 2022, or register for our next workshop to learn how to fill out the application for SJSU.
Admission to San José State is competitive in all majors because SJSU continues to have more qualified applicants than available new student spaces. This situation is called "impaction" and it means that meeting the minimum California State University (CSU) requirements does not guarantee admission to SJSU. We will no longer have the enrollment capacity to accept all CSU eligible applicants, including some from local high schools and community colleges.
