<p>Grey, its even more ironic to bring up the 20 or so sub-disciplines (that no one cares about besides philo majors) when discussing the utility of degrees!</p>

<p>I bet you are dying for the day when society will start crying for philo majors and lawyers!</p>

<p>I dont think this will happen anytime soon… </p>

<p>Gray talks As though someone with a science degree lacked the critical thinking skills a philo major has?? LOL. </p>

<p>Like that mechanical engineer designing an engine or rocket lacks Grey_Synatics’ “so called highly developed critical thinking skills gained from a philo degree.” </p>

<p>Wow, hold up! Wait everyone! Lets not design that space shuttle until Grey_Synatics and his highly developed critical thinking skills has had time to reason it out! LOL.</p>

<p>Wow talk about being provincial!</p>

<p>What we do need are lawyers that have science and eng. backgrounds so they have some expertise in their respective fields, whether criminal or business.</p>

<p>What we do need are more engineers, biochemists, comp. sci. majors, electricians, welders, technicians, doctors, pharmacists, Teachers with science degrees (because most have the liberal arts or psych. degree), civil engineers, linguists, soldiers, accountants, an d a host of other specialized positions that the baby boomers will leave vacant when the retire.</p>

<p>I don’t think philosophy majors or lawyers fall into any of these categories. </p>

<p>So I suggest that Grey curb that cocky, pompous attitude now. Eventually the world will cut his ego down to size.</p>

<p>Well now that you’ve resorted to personal attacks, I’ll stop here. I bet you feel wonderful having argued for a full week with a 19-year-old.</p>

<p>And when you asked who employed me? Well, I work with doctors with 20 or so years of education under their belt, proofreading 40-50 page grant submissions and 10-20 page publication submissions for them. So far I’ve been placed in credits for three manuscript publications and the garnering of $480,000 for retinal research.</p>

<p>Also, I want to see you build that space shuttle without a lawyer overseeing the legality your funding transactions. Or are you going to build it out of the tool shed in the back? I’m blocking you now, and I leave you with this: grow up.</p>

<p>I’m barely a freshman at Cal Poly Pomona and I’ve already started thinking about possibly transferring to a UC (not because it’s a bad school, it’s just that certain UCs have considerably better departments for my major) in a couple of years. I haven’t really thought about it that much, but I’ve heard good things about Computer Science at UCI and UCLA. Does anyone have a good idea of what kind of GPA I should keep in order to be competitive if I do decide to apply for a transfer? Will courses at CPP transfer to a UC–or would I have to retake those classes again?</p>

<p>-Thanks</p>

<p>You’re gonna have a tougher time transferring in from cal poly vs a CC.</p>

<p>CDS12:</p>

<p>I am a current CPP student also (second year). If you are looking to transfer, research the possible UCs you’d like to attend and look at their undergraduate requirements. All UC courses have requirements that are different and specific to that major. You have to see what courses are able to be transferred to the specific UC. Check with the UC or look on assist.org. It’s nearly impossible to transfer within one year because you just don’t have enough credits for transfer.</p>

<p>anchor is right…all of you ought to transfer from cal poly pomona to a community college to better your chances of getting into a UC. the system sets aside seats for CC transfers; no such deal exists for pomona, which by all accounts is a campus in a tailspin overall.</p>

<p>Because of the economy, many people are going to community colleges. The closest JC near pomona is Mt SAC which already has many students to begin with. I heard that Mt SAC has over 60,000 students. I tried going there for classes, but ended up not being to add any so I had to stay at Cal poly. Going to a JC is fine, getting classes is the hard part!!</p>

48

<p>yep, sac is the largest single campus community college in the state. but it enjoys an outstanding reputation reportedly among the UC system and allows you a better shot at admission than cal poly pomona.</p>

<p>getting classes are tough among the vast majority of the state colleges at both the two and four year levels. and getting worse as aahnold goes to washington to beg for a federal bailout.</p>
