Fall 2025 Freshman Impaction Results By Major

For Fall 2025, SJSU will roll out admission decisions beginning with a small wave in December. The majority of our decisions will be posted to MySJSU in January and February.

We will post major-specific thresholds to this page in the new year.

First-time first-year applicants who met the CSU minimum eligibility requirements 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.

In addition to the preference given to local applicants, SJSU will consider additional factors in the impaction 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); and/or are a U.S. veteran. Further details on the factors considered in the impaction process can be found on our impaction page.

Applicants to majors in the College of Engineering(COE) will be ranked using a modified eligibility index that will take into consideration applicants’ math GPA in addition to the factors listed above.
