[quote=Anonymous]Ok so first of all always ignore the general acceptance rate at any CSU.

1. CSUs admit by major and are strict about not backdooring. Engineering/CS will be in single digits, education and hospitality will be close to 90%.
2. It’s been several years but if you google a bit you should be able to find SJSU admit data. It is very valuable as it shows GPA by major. 
3. If you search more you can find the formulas for where SJS gives bumps. For example, they give extra rigor points for lab sciences. This includes Project Lead the Way courses. Whether you get the bump depends on how your school codes the courses. 
4. There is a local bump for being in service. There are tons of tippy top kids in the area who get shut out of UCs. Many get the engineering admits for SJSU. I’m not sure about OOS. While you would be at a disadvantage compared to local kids you may be above other CA residents outside the Bay.
5. A-G requirements really are non negotiable. Make sure they map, talk to admissions to confirm. Math can get wonky. CA is less accelerated but most engineering/CS kids will self accelerate through DE. Sometimes OOS students get stuck where they took Algebra or IM2 too early and can’t meet the math requirement even though they are years ahead.
6. It’s an easy app. No essays, recommendations, etc.

Good luck!
