San Jose State prepares to give up local guarantee - Matt Krupnick, Mercury News

SJSU has limited admissions to individual majors in recent years, and the university is proposing that it do the same for undeclared applicants starting next year. And while South Bay applicants have long been guaranteed admission by meeting minimum Cal State requirements, the university likely will raise standards for those students.
"It's hard to know how it's going to impact our applicants until we go through it once," said SJSU spokeswoman Pat Lopes Harris. "But it's likely the vast majority (of local applicants) will be admitted."
