<p>If im going to be incoming freshmen and since all my classes are going to be GE is there an advantage in choosing a major??? cus pre business (my current major) requires math test and also i want to transfer after 2 years. So i want like the easiest GE classes so i can get my credit ... help!!!</p>
<p>go to a community college.</p>
<p>^This.</p>
<p>If you’re gonna transfer anyways don’t waste your money going to a university. And it’s way harder to transfer between universities than from a community college.</p>
<p>what is the point of selecting a major ??? whats the difference???</p>
<p>dude, you don’t transfer out of a 4 year school generally.
Plus your wasting alot of money if you do .</p>
<p>all i rlly want to find out was if undecided major was a bit easier…</p>
<p>Well even if you want to transfer, you can’t be undecided your whole 2 years. </p>
<p>Seriously, if you want to take the “easy” path and transfer, go to community college.</p>
<p>Browny999, if you plan to to transfer you must declare a major, because UCs require that all students declare their major by the time they reach junior standing. Another reason is that transfer applicants are expected to complete lower division preparation coursework for their intended majors before transferring. If you have decided your major for when you transfer I suggest declaring it now, and finish UCR’s breadth requirements and work on the lower division requirements for the UC you wish to transfer to. As others have hinted, UC-to-UC transfer is quite difficult, but not impossible; you just need to work hard and maintain a 3.5 overall GPA and you will have a good chance of transferring out. However, this route will be more expensive than going to a CC and then transferring. But, alas the ultimate decision rests upon you. Good luck and keep us posted.</p>
<p>Why does everyone assume its going to be a UC to UC transfer o.o
What if it is a UC to private?
Also your easiest GE is going to screw you over in the long run…if business is what you want than stick with it and finish it.
Also I think the everyone has to take the math test, if its the math test that I am thinking of, unless you did the Calculus AP test (Ab or BC) and scored a 3+ or whatever the other exemptions are.
Easiest GE path would be CC.</p>
<p>FutureEEMajor, I think it is a fair assumption since he created a thread posing the question “How can i transfer from ucr to ucla???”</p>
<p>^my bad I don’t remember that</p>
<p>well you’ve said you want easy twice, and community college is easier in terms of classes and in terms of transferring, so…
yeah.</p>
<p>and none of us want to see another person walking around campus with a ucla hoodie. it’s irritating.</p>
<p>^ I saw someone with a Yale hoodie once. Lol.</p>
<p>Thank you Darkprince! honestly i dont really mind going to ucr but my brother goes to ucla and my sister went there too so yea…huge gap!!! I guess i just felt desperate to fit in with my siblings ahaha… well im rllyyy excited to go to college!!! and in the future if i do well and have the chance to transfer i will if not i plan to make the best of it!!! thank you all for the advices !!!</p>
<p>haha its no reflection on you. i got a higher sat and comparable gpa and had much better extracurriculars than my brother and all my cousins and got into fewer colleges. its a reflection of the time. anywho, ucr is the only uc thats still rapidly rising in reputation, and it’s better than many of the other ucs in many respects. hopefully you’ll like it and stay!</p>
<p>I’ve had a similar plan about this time last year. For me, I only got into UCI and UCR. I didn’t even give UCI a chance before rapidly forming my plan to get in and get out. To some extent, I have covered some of my goals. My GPA is pretty good. I do my research early picking out my teachers early (even those with early morning classes) and starting to read experiences here on CC. Still, the longer I’m at UCI, the more I realize how amazing this school is. I enjoy the campus. I am connecting well with the faculty especially the TA’s. In high school, I hated asking for help, hated talking to others, and it got me only so far. No matter where you go, it’ll probably be a good experience. At this point, I have already invested serious time and energy into preparing for a transfer. It would be sort of pointless not to apply (and my major’s requirements and the pre-reqs of the UC I want to attend overlap quite a bit). It’s a super stressful mindset. You consistently have to be thinking, “I must be at the top of every class. I haven’t even gotten to the hard classes yet. I have no EC’s…I must go to summer school to finish up some GE’s.” Let’s pretend I maintain a high GPA till the time of application and that I improve my EC’s. Let’s say I somehow finish up the requirements I’m still missing and that I actually get in. Then what? Well, at the beginning of the year, the answer was pretty obvious. Score high and ditch this hell hole ASAP. I didn’t even consider what I would be leaving behind and I have doubts I would actually transfer. Nonetheless, I believe in keeping my options open. You should do the same. You can start by picking a major and dedicating your time to study and learn to appreciate it. College gets so much better once you allow yourself to start liking your studies. Don’t try to take all the easy EC’s for a high GPA. Save those for community college where the stress is lessened. A transcript of easy A’s in GE’s and none in prereqs is not going to impress. Try to work the transfer mindset into your studies as a motivating factor even if you end up liking UCR and don’t want to transfer. Good luck to you no matter what.</p>
