Anyone ever transfer their junior year into a private like Stanford or an Ivy school? It's pretty hard to do, but that's my goal. Gotta save that $$ for the first two years.

[epitaph220]

junior year as in high school or 3rd year community?

[mago_san_2d_god]

i'm pretty sure he means in community. high school would be damn hard.

[Dioxic]

Sorry, I thought it was a given I meant community. I guess there are those select few that could do it as a junior in high school though (my grandfather skipped two grades). Yeah, I mean, I believe I'm on track right now, first year and have a 3.8/4.0 with decent amount of units. It'd just be cool to hear from someone else that has done it.

Anyone go to Pitt or CMU? I'm just finishing my sophomore year at Pitt. I've seen a couple pairs of probably APC or 3sixteen, can't really tell, on campus.

[ubersaladin]

@Dioxic: if you do transfer junior year, you will most likely end up staying another year unless you load on the credits. any reputable school will have a minimum number of credits that you need to take at their campus. honestly, i don't think it's worth it to transfer junior year. transfer sophomore year if you do plan on transferring. if anything, take more classes and graduate earlier if money is an issue.

eh yo! I saw a pair of iron hearts, flatheads and i think some samurais at UCSB in the same day. who are you folks?

Just got rejected from UCLA, on my birthday, and now Berkeley isn't looking so probable either.

damn, shouldn't have hyped myself up so much for it. Now Irvine and SD feel like I'm settling...

my stomach hurts thinking about it. our fate as cal bears will be known at the end of the week. going to be a shitty week coming

i want to feel something other than anxiety about university

[Knugget]

i'm pretty sure you guys heard this but it's not really where you go (as undergrad) it's how well you do there. it's harder to get a decent job with a BS degree so i tell people to shoot for graduate degrees. that's where it counts.

[christianjustin]

^ i think it's all correlated. good Undergrad --> good job --> Good Graduate school (assuming you work before grad school)

Anyone in san diego for college? In specific, USD?

[ke1]

I am aZn though... blamed half the reason on that fact. What is going on with those stats...

[Knugget]

UCs are offering admissions to more out of state students so they can get more funding

[michaelttizzle]

which sucks for me.

[samsikle]

i'm filipino, i don't think they count that as asian. but i got accepted into UCLA today i didn't think i was going to, to be honest. i was shaking for a while after reading the letter.

[ke1]
