The Charles W. Davidson College of Engineering generally has the same requirements as the whole university. San Jose State is objective for most applicants, where it primarily decides applicants based on GPA, SAT/ACT, and the rigor of classes taken during one's secondary school. State residency and graduating from a high school in the Santa Clara County are factors as well. Applicants who pose unique, personal circumstances may be given a different outlook on their application if and only if they apply to the Educational Opportunity Program at San Jose State. This college will weigh the SAT/ACT Math score more than the other sections during the admissions process.
