<p>Hi, I'm AJ. I've been going to a local community college for the past two years. I'm ready to transfer. But how, when?? I don't want to miss anything - I want to do everything I'm supposed to do when I'm supposed to do it. I'm not even sure who to apply to. That is why I'm here :D. I'm hoping you guys can look me over, tell me where I have a reasonable chance of acceptance, and then hopefully point me in the right direction as far as applications goes.</p>
<p>My 'Resume':
College Cumulative GPA: 3.48
College total completed credits: 70.00</p>
<p>College UC Transferable GPA: 3.74
College total UC Completed credits: 48.0</p>
<p>IGETC is completely filled out except for one thing: Math section. I need to take PreCalculus and then Calculus. </p>
<p>My major is, for now, English. I've gone as far as English 101, then 102, then Brit Lit 250.</p>
<p>I'm Treasurer for the Gamma Beta Phi honors society</p>
<p>I'm a Photographer for my school's newspaper (x2 semesters)
Won several photography awards.</p>
<p>I'm a working Emergency Medical Technician (shows leadership, I'll see if the colleges like this)</p>
<p>Sports - nothing in College, but I was two years Varsity in Track and Field in High School, I don't know if this helps. </p>
<p>SAT: Verbal 710
Math 610
I know SAT is weak, but I could re-take it before I have to apply. I have time to study as well. </p>
<p>OK, I have listed the information that I believe colleges will consider to be most important. </p>
<p>I have a few questions. </p>
<p>First of all, is a UC my best option?</p>
<p>I know I need 60 credits to transfer to a UC, but can't I still apply in the upcoming Fall semester, and receive a conditional acceptance (conditional on my completing 60 credits + math?)</p>
<p>Is it absolutely mandatory to have my English major prep work completed? Before or after I apply? </p>
<p>Is there a chance I can be accepted anywhere else but a UC? I would love to go to school outside of California, but I don't really know how that works. </p>
<p>I have a list of colleges that I would love to go to, and I know I am embarrassing myself by asking about some of these (as I probably don't have a chance) but I need to ask. If I don't, I'll just keep wondering. </p>
<p>Prospective colleges: UCLA, USC, Berkeley, Cornell, Stanford, Cambridge, West Point</p>
<p>I know West Point is a weird addition, but I'm still toying with that. I received a congressional nomination to go to West Point last year, but I decided I didn't want to go (plus I had sustained an injury - not a good thing going into a very physical school). What are my chances at the rest of these colleges?</p>
<p>Thanks for your time, I really appreciate any help you can give me. </p>
<p>-AJ</p>
