<p>I know this may be too soon to mention but if for some reason you dont get into a UC will u be going to a back up school or stay another year at cc and reapply next year? </p>
<p>I applied to four CSU
CSUF
CSULB
CSULA
CAL POLY POMONA </p>
<p>so far ive been accepted to CSULA and CSUF and although im glad i have back up options i wasnt excited when i got my acceptence letters. In fact it kinda bumbed me out to think i might be attending them. It made me wonder if maybe i shoudnt settle, and instead stay another year at cc and TAG next year to UCI.</p>
<p>That is of course if i dont get in to a UC this year..again i know im thinking way ahead but i cant help it lol
The wait is killng me and its only been a month!</p>
<p>If I were you and didn’t get into a UC I would stay another year at a CC to go to a UC. I am fortunate enough to where my back-up schools are mid-tier UC’s (UCSB and UCSD, top choices are UCLA and UCB) because my GPA is high…</p>
<p>@nickkwooddd my GPA isn’t too bad I have a 3.83 and I’m a history major which isn’t impacted. However I am taking non transferable math(intermed algebra) during winter and taking UC math requirement in spring and I feel like that’s going to hold me back from getting into UCs </p>
<p>I do think I would choose another year at cc.</p>
<p>lol, if you have a 3.83 GPA as a history major, you’re probably going to be accepted to Berkeley and LA. No need to worry about attending CSUs because you were rejected from the UCs.</p>
<p>But taking math in spring will hurt your chances of getting in to UCSB. The other UCs don’t care, contrary to popular belief on these boards. I don’t even know why UCSB care so much about that requirement.</p>
<p>Anyway, I’d probably just try again next year if rejected this year.</p>
<p>my backup is UCI and I won’t go there if I don’t get into UCB or UCSD, CS major…do that and I’ll be sad for the next two years…we have only one chance to go and live in a 4 year university, we better choose the one we really like!</p>
