Spring 2023 Impaction Results by Major
Transfers have an impact on all majors at SJSU, which means that everyone applying competes for available spots in the major based on their cumulative GPA for all transferable courses taken at the time of application. * To be considered for admission for the spring of 2023, each transfer applicant who applied during the priority application period had to submit the SJSU supplemental application.
Using the self-reported grade point average (GPA) that was provided on the supplemental application, SJSU will rank all transfer applicants by major for the Spring of 2023 and admit as many students as are needed to fill each major’s enrollment capacity. Please be aware that SJSU did not take into account any changes you made to your CalStateApply application after submitting it.
Additional preference was given to local applicants through a . For applicants who received the majority of their transferable units from a Santa Clara or Santa Cruz county college at the time of application, there will be a 25 GPA increase.
SJSU began admitting Spring 2023 applicants in late October. Please keep checking your MySJSU account for messages posted about the status of our admission process and updates to your admission status. Decision-pending (DP) applicants are still being given consideration for admission.
Your admission materials contain additional information about the requirements to keep your eligibility to enroll. Applicants in this category include:
- The following list includes candidates who met the impaction requirement for their primary major.
- applicants whose alternate major met the impaction requirement AND there was additional room for students to enroll in that major
Applicants in this category include:
- applicant who complied with the minimum requirements for CSU eligibility but fell short of the majors impaction threshold
*Applicants to certain SJSU programs were given preference if they had taken preparatory classes specific to the program. For information on the impact for those majors, please see the section below titled “Programs with Supplemental Coursework.” In order to be ranked for these majors, applicants had to submit their completed coursework along with their self-reported GPA on SJSU’s supplemental application.
Only if there is additional capacity beyond those admitted as a primary major will SJSU admit a candidate to their alternate major. This means that even though you may meet the requirements for your alternate major, your application will be rejected as unaccommodated because there is no room for more students to enroll in that major.
There was no capacity for this major to accept applicants as alternate majors.
