I am currently a senior in high school, and I am debating whether to attend a CC or a CSU. My ultimate goal is to be able to transfer to UCSD. I am currently more leaning toward going to CSUF then UCSD. Would it be a better idea to do that or to attend a CC? and what is the possibility that I can get into UCSD from CSUF?
CC to UC transfers are easier since assist.org has a list of courses that articulate to UCSD. CSU to UC’s are definitely possible but there is no website that will give a list of articulated CSU courses to UCSD courses. You would have to match your CSUF courses to a local CC courses that then try to articulate these to the UCSD courses. A CC to UCSD path is better defined.
CSUF is a great school so why do you feel you will need to transfer to UCSD? What is your intended major?
I am going to major in Business. I just end up really loving UCSD in general, their campus, their activities, as well as the surrounding area. Would you say transferring from CSU to UCSD would be as hard as getting into UCLA from high school?
CC sounds like a good choice for transferring, but a part of me just don’t want to go to one I guess because of the environment it has…
Go to a CC. Seriously being a CSU transfer is NOT fun and it is no guarantee. If UCSD is where you want to go, go to CC.
Don’t judge all CCs. Personally I’ve had a better experience at my CC than my CSU.
but seriously avoid being a CSU transfer it’s so much work!!!
