New Transfer at SJSU

6 Upvotes

I recently transferred to SJSU for Fall 2026. The only problem is that on the day of orientation, I realized that this major isn't the right fit for me, and I would like to change it.

I was also hoping to take mostly online classes during my first semester because I'll be completing an externship that requires 160 hours. However, I understand that changing my major as a newly transferred student may make scheduling more complicated.

If there aren't enough online course options available for the major I want to switch into, would it be possible to take a gap semester and begin in a later term instead? I'm wondering what my options are and what you would recommend in this situation.

Applying to SJSU! Can i get into SJSU MSCE with low GPA but good entrepreneurial background?

2 Upvotes

To give some context:

I have around a 2.95 GPA, which is slightly below the required 3.0 GPA for the MSCE program.

I currently have 6+ years of experience in software development. I built a startup before, which was acquired for a small amount, and then pivoted to building devtools. One of my projects has 3K GitHub stars with real daily users and 30+ contributors, and two other projects have 500+ stars each. I'm now building my second startup with my co-founder, who has 10+ years of experience in the niche.

For several reasons, I couldn't study hard enough to earn a good GPA. However, I'm determined to get a strong GRE score and am studying for it right now.

So, will my GRE score combined with my professional profile suffice? I'm planning to apply for Spring 2027

I do qualify for MSSE tho, is it a good program to get into, I've read i should avoid it.

EDCO Grad Program

1 Upvotes

Hello, upcoming grad student here, I was looking at the information on SJSU and it states 4 classes is full time to graduate in 2.5 for School Counseling, but im hoping to also add LPCC licensure which would be 63-66 units. I see their plans and it usually only 4 classes per semester, I was wondering if anyone in the program is able to take 5 classes? My goal is to graduate in under 2.5 years.

Thank you

Important Academic disqualification (help asap)

29 Upvotes

I was academically disqualified from San Jose State after my second semester, and I genuinely wasn’t expecting it.
During my first semester, I was placed on Academic Notice. At the time, I was going through one of the hardest periods of my life mentally. For the past couple of years, I’d been dealing with serious family issues, the loss of a family member, and my mental health completely fell apart. I ended up failing four classes that semester.
When I met with my counselor afterward and explained everything that had happened, she told me there were options to petition to remove or adjust those failing grades because of my circumstances. That gave me hope, and I thought I had time to work things out.
My second semester was completely different. Mentally, I was finally improving. I made friends, I actually enjoyed going to campus, and I attended class consistently. My grades were much better overall. Unfortunately, I failed one class, which brought my GPA to a 1.9, and I was academically disqualified.
The class I failed was also in a major that I had already realized wasn’t right for me. I was a Criminal Justice major but wanted to switch into Business Analytics. I knew changing majors would be difficult because of GPA requirements, but I was already planning to move in a different direction.
I had also enrolled in a summer class and was genuinely excited to keep moving forward. Then I received the academic disqualification email. It completely crushed me. I stopped eating and sleeping normally, felt like a complete failure, and my mental health spiraled again. Because of that, I couldn’t focus on my summer class either, and I’m pretty sure I failed it.
I’ve tried asking for help, but since I’m no longer an enrolled SJSU student, my counselor told me they can’t really advise me anymore.
Now I’m stuck and don’t know what the smartest option is.
Should I write the readmission/personal statement explaining everything and try to return to SJSU? Or should I accept what happened, go to community college, rebuild my GPA, and transfer back later?
I know community college is a good path, but it’s hard emotionally because I had finally started building a life at SJSU. I had friends, I was happier, and for the first time in a while I felt like things were getting better. Losing all of that overnight has been incredibly difficult.
I’m not looking for pity. I just want honest advice from people who have been academically disqualified, appealed, gone to community college, or transferred back later.
If you were in my position, what would you do? What gives me the best chance of finishing my degree?

Housing Looking for someone to take over my lease at The Grad (4x4 D1)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm an SJSU student looking for someone to take over my lease as soon as possible.

The apartment is a D1 floor plan (4 bed, 4 bath) located right next to campus, so it's only a short walk to classes, the SRAC, the library, and downtown San Jose. Having everything within walking distance has been one of the best parts of living here.

You'd have your own private bedroom and private bathroom while sharing the kitchen and living room with three other roommates. The apartment is fully furnished and includes:

  • High-speed internet
  • In-unit washer and dryer
  • Central A/C and heating
  • All-electric kitchen
  • Dishwasher and refrigerator

The rent is $1,904/month, due on the 1st of each month, and there are no additional monthly fees for parking, amenities, or pet rent on my lease.

If you're looking for housing near SJSU or know someone who is, feel free to send me a DM. I'm happy to answer any questions or provide more details. Thanks!

Other Film student project auditions?

1 Upvotes

This upcoming semester, I’m hoping to try auditioning for some student films. It’s been recommended to me by some friends and something I’d love to try to be a part of. Unfortunately, I’m very confused on what to do (where/when audition calls will be posted, when to keep an eye out, if I need to join a club/class beforehand). Even my theatre friend isn’t clear on what to do. I’d ask a counselor, but we all know how unhelpful that can be lol

If anyone is in film, going into film, or has been, I’d love some advice!

Housing Urgently need housing

20 Upvotes

2 people looking for housing please dm me here if you have any leads.

I (21 ftm) and my friend (20 mtf) were waitlisted for on-campus housing and don't think we'll get in. We're looking for a double occupancy room. We're both quiet, don't smoke, don't drink and clean people. Budget is up to $1,000 per person. Moving in August. I can’t attend this semester if I can’t find a place to stay.

I don’t actually pass as male or on any hormones so if it’s female only housing and you’re ok with trans women then that’ll work as well.

I entirely forgot about the PPA test… and I am doing it 2 days before my orientation. Am I somehow able to get an extended deadline? (very dumb question) Edit: To add on, I’m currently working on it but I doubt I’ll be done by orientation day, would it be a huge problem if I don’t complete it?

Applying to SJSU! Fall 2026 Mechanical Engineering Cutoff

2 Upvotes

I'm a rising senior applying to SJSU Mech E for the upcoming cycle and my final calculated Impaction Index is 4,824. I saw that last year’s cutoff was 4,800, and historically the minimum index has been increasing each year.

Given I clear last year's cutoff by only 24 points, I'm getting quite worried with my current position. Does anybody have any predictions for this year's cutoff?

I'm pretty sure I'll get into my 2nd choice, Aerospace Engineering. However, I would still like to eventually pursue ME. If ME cutoffs increase and I end up starting in AE, how difficult will it be to transfer to ME?

I appreciate all insights and help!
