Hello! I would really appreciate some advice on what to do with my college career, as well as to know what are my chances of transferring to a UC. I am 25 and still at a community college. I have been at the same community college for six years by the time the 2017 spring semester ends. For the past years I have been unsure of what I wanted to major in. As of two years ago I decided to major in business and I am now 100% sure that’s what I want to major in to eventually start my own business. The problem now is, that I find myself immensely frustrated because I have taken so long and have not transferred. I have a 3.09 GPA which is not great and I have seven Ws (withdrawals) on my transcript. I was hoping to transfer to a UC, but with this newly added withdrawal (as of today) I have lost hope. I am not sure if I would be able to get into a school like USC or any other good school. I constantly feel embarrassed when people ask if I will graduate soon because I have not even transferred. Are there any suggestions on what to do? I need to take one last math course during the spring (2017) and I am done. I do not know what other UC schools would accept me. I do not know where to even begin for the transfer process. Is there any way I could be admitted as a senior since I have taken so long? Please help. Any advice would help. Thank you!
Can’t you transfer into a CSU? Why does it have to be a UC? You can major in a related field of study, like economics, if the CSU doesn’t have business. Quite frankly, don’t you need an MBA to do anything with a business degree? At this stage in the game, I think it is important that you focus on completing a degree in a timely manner, because it might be too easy at this point to not bother. Going to a UC is not a requirement to being successful in life. Your degree from a CSU is just as valid. I know, Imgot my degree from a CSU decades ago.
That is why your CC has a transfer center. Why not go in and talk with them, and pick up the handouts they have about how to xfer?
The folks at the xfer center can answer this. Details of how many units can be transferred are also on the UC website.
