<p>My friends tell me that I should apply to CSUN or CSULB as back-ups, but I feel like I worked too hard to go to a Cal State. I don't qualify for the fee waiver so why apply to a Cal State if I have no intention on going? I'm applying to UCLA and UCB, with UCSD (tag) and UCI as my back-ups.</p>
<p>Anyone else feel the same way?</p>
<p>If you have tag, then thats your safety.</p>
<p>if your GPA is over 3.3, there’s no reason you shouldn’t end up at a UC.</p>
<p>I’m not applying to any Cal States as I feel the exact same way SMCguy. My back up schools are UCD(tag) and UCI(tag).</p>
<p>I never applied to CSUs. I only applied to your list of 4 plus Davis.</p>
<p>Don’t do it. Your safety schools are better than the best CSU’s. And I totally agree with you…we’ve worked too damn hard to go to CSU.</p>
<p>I’m not applying to CSU’s either. Plus, I haven’t even taken Speech 101, which is a requirement for CSU’s but not UC’s, LOL!</p>
<p>Ok, I’m glad you guys agree with me! I have a 3.65, tag @ UCSD. I’m not wasting any more $$$</p>
<p>im not applying to any CSU’s either</p>
<p>SMCGuy,</p>
<p>What major are applying to at UCLA? I know you’ve ruled out comm…</p>
<p>I’ve got a 3.778… not putting in all this effort to go to a CSU. Hopefully I can TAG UCSB and UCSD for Fall 2010(need to meet with a counselor this week).</p>
<p>It’s sad though… it doesn’t seem like anyone from my school wants to go to UC’s. I just don’t understand it, it’s so easy to get into a top tier university (i mean 3.0 at JC can TAG you into most of the UC’s… really easy to get) yet very few use the opportunity.</p>

<p>I’m applying to UCLA as a PoliSci. I’ve taken a few pre-reqs and I’ve enjoyed the classes. I’m applying to all other schools as Comm.</p>
<p>Im not applying to any CSU’s. It’s a waste of time. Why take an extra speech class that is not required for UC, to go to a lesser school? If anything UCR could be everyones back-up or “safety”</p>
<p>Im not saying you should apply to a CSU but you should take speech its one of the most valuable classes that I have taken in my undergrad experience.</p>
<p>I took public speaking and interpersonal speech. I agree, good classes!! but still not applying to any CSU’s.</p>
<p>i took public speaking as well…absolutely useless class. learned nothing about comm concepts…only expected to give dumb speeches on even dumber topics.</p>
<p>I might apply to a csu. Good times. I am not too good to apply to a csu. :)</p>
<p>Ewww, I would never apply to a CSU. I’d rather apply to Arizona State before I do that.</p>
<p>I agree with snooks86. If I wanted to go to a CSU, I would’ve went after high school.</p>
<p>LMAO ok I think we’re all on the same page!! Too funny</p>
<p>SeeHerFly- I see your point…for me it helped with confidence, but I hear you!</p>
