Fall 2027 First Time First Year Admission Results By Major

Most of SJSU's programs admit First Time First Year (FTFY) applicants who meet the CSU eligibility requirements.

For the small number of majors listed below, applicants will be ranked in each major and offered admission to meet both the individual major's capacity and the overall university enrollment capacity.

Preference is given to local applicants through a 0.25 GPA increase in the calculation for those applicants who will graduate from a high school in Santa Clara County. SJSU will also honor the promise programs we have in place with our local high school districts.

In addition to the preference given to local applicants, SJSU will consider additional factors in the admission review process. Specifically, additional consideration will be given to applicants who:

• Qualify for the Cal State Apply application fee waiver
• Are the first to attend college in their family (first-generation)
• Are a U.S. veteran

Further details on the factors considered in the impaction process can be found on our impaction page.

SJSU began admitting Fall 2027 applicants in November. Please continue to check your MySJSU account for updates to your admission status and messages posted about our progress in our admission process. Applicants in a Decision Pending (DP) status are still under consideration for admission.

Non-residents of California, including international students, need to earn a minimum GPA of 3.0 to be eligible for CSU admission consideration. For majors requiring a higher eligibility index, non-residents must meet the higher standard: the CSU eligibility standard for non-resident applicants or the major-specific impaction threshold.

Consideration for admission to alternate major:

SJSU admits applicants to their alternate major only if there is additional capacity beyond those admitted as a primary major. 

*College of Engineering - Applicants were ranked on on modified impaction index that included additional consideration of a student's math GPA.
