<p>i am a international student in a CA community college. i enrolled summer 2007. Business major. i will apply on Fall this year. so i'm preparing myself . </p>
<pre><code> How many chances do i get, to transfer out of california. i mean, i prefer to transfer out, if i can.but it will be fine for me to stay in CA. i 'm looking for more opportunities. How do i satisfy those out-state universities requirements? I wonder whether the public have more shots than the Private ?
I am also thinking about Summer Program at certain university? but i dont know too much about Summer program. Based on what i researched, most summer programs open to High school students. it's rare for CC students and Interational students.
Please feel free to give me some advices. or share ur experience. and talk about those universities that are good at BUSINESS , ECO.
<p>It will be hard to write essays that will get you in with such choppy english. You should enroll in an english course at your community college to help you, that will definately help your chances.</p>
<p>It’s not bad…just not great. Like I said, your essays may not look so great. Not only should you take an english course, you should have your english teacher lookover your transfer essays.</p>
<p>UCs and CSUs also have convenient, well-defined transfer paths for California community college students, and offer them first priority for all transfer slots, per the legislative Master Plan mandate. There are several guaranteed admission programs, giving community college students a direct track into UCs.</p>
<p>Course articulation is also easy, again thanks to coordinated planning between the community colleges and CSU/UC systems. It is possible (and widely done) for a student to complete his or her entire lower division distribution requirement at a community college.</p>
<p>It’s a well-thought-out and incredibly successful program of higher education for all.</p>
<p>However, it is perfectly possible to transfer from a CCC to any other out-of-state university… it just takes a bit more research to figure out what courses transfer and what extra courses need to be taken at the four-year institution.</p>
<p>For example, I’m transferring to the University of Alaska Fairbanks… I have to take a few lower-division general education classes at UAF because they have no equivalent at my community college. That’s often the price of going OOS. But it’s not universal - some universities, such as the University of Idaho, consider anyone who has completed an associate’s degree to be done with all general ed requirements.</p>
<p>our school has very good writing center, where i also can get help.
does public university has more chances than Private, if i want to transfer to out-state?</p>
<p>Im confusing. are u applying for Fall 2008 admission or Fall 2009 admission? Are u transfering as a Junoir? If you can get in to UCs and CSus, I think you will have no problem to transfer to any other university no matter private or public except for the ones that so competitive as Havard, MIT, NYU, Standford, UC Berkley.</p>
<p>Transferring from a community college makes it difficult to transfer to a top 4-year program unless your GPA is 3.9 or above (to a school like NYU or Univ of Texas or Univ of Virginia, etc). And your English would have to improve tremendously for that to happen.</p>
<p>A few pretty good business programs that you can get into by transferring from a California community college are USC (need about a 3.6 GPA), UC Berkeley (if you get at least a 3.85 minimum GPA), Indiana (with a 3.2 GPA or so, or Boston University (also with a 3.2 GPA or so). Consider UCLA or UCSD for economics programs (need a 3.6 for UCLA and about a 3.45 to 3.5 for UCSD).</p>
<p>It is important to improve your English in order to get those kinds of high GPA scores while in college. Also, it is important that you check the websites for each of the colleges you are interested in to know which courses to take. This can be a problem sometimes, since–for example–schools like USC and Indiana prefer that you take accounting courses your first two years, while a school like UC Berkeley prefers that you take accounting only once you get in. Almost all require at least two economics courses (one microeconomics and one macroeconomics) and all require a calculus course–and most prefer that you take statistics also.</p>
<p>Consult with the counselors at your community college–and show them these posts. They can be most helpful in designing a program showing which courses you should take when depending upon which college you think you’d like to try to get into.</p>
<p>it seems that my English really needs to be improved. …This discourages me. because i know i have to make an effort with it. i need lots of reading , speaking and memorizing…
but this also encourages me to work harder on english.
i will look up the schools’ requirements online.</p>
