Freshmen Admission Requirements

We are honored that you are considering San Jose State University to further your education. A freshman applicant is a student who has graduated from (or is still in) high school and who has not enrolled in a regular (non-summer) session course at any college or university following graduation. Freshman applicants must first meet the CSU eligibility requirements for admission. Applicants are then reviewed for provisional admission through 菠菜网lol正规平台's admission selection process, called impaction.

Impaction

Admission to San José State is competitive in all majors because 菠菜网lol正规平台 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 菠菜网lol正规平台. We will no longer have the enrollment capacity to accept all CSU eligible applicants, including some from local high schools and community colleges.
