Decisions... opinion please

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi, well I just screwed up big time by not setting my alarm for the SAT II just to woke up 1 hour after doors close. Yeah worst excuse for missing it, I feel terrible and I am not proud of it. I wish I could take it in January but I think this is the last month possible. There goes my chance of UC's and wasted time of writing personal statements...</p>

<p>In spring I have to take Japanese 4 at another school so that I can at least get into CSU, or I can just go to a CC and transfer to UC just to relax this spring but I don't know anymore. I figure I was going to move out for college but is it really necessary if I'm going to CC? I really, really wanted to move out for next year too. Any opinions, advice, or tips? Is UC still possible?</p>

<p>that sucks bro .. if you truly want to go to those schools you will transfer</p>

<p>Is it possible for you to take the SAT IIs in January, and then apply to the UCs for spring semester of 2009?</p>

4

<p>the last date you can take sat's is in january. i had asked them this.</p>

<p>Really? Originally I signed up for January and was gonna take it in December and just pay for a test date change so if this is true...</p>

<p>University</a> of California - Admissions</p>

<p>December SAT Reasoning Test and SAT Subject Tests (last date for fall 2008 freshman applicants to
take tests)</p>

<p>But according to that calendar, if you were to apply for winter/spring '09, you'd have until July/October. So unless I'm missing something, you could test later, apply for the second semester of next school year, and take a gap semester (take courses at CC or do something completely different for a few months).</p>

<p>You wouldn't be able to enroll at Berkeley, since they don't take new students for spring semester. But it would be a good way to get to any of the other UCs.</p>

<p>here's the exact email I got:
The application filing period for Fall 2008 is November 1-30, 2007. All
test scores are to be reported directly to the campuses applied to no
later than the January 2008 reporting period.</p>

<p>or never mind I don't know if the Jan scores would make it into that time frame?</p>

<p>The "January reporting period" is when scores from the December test are reported.</p>

<p>oh.. yeah. you were right. sorry for the hassle</p>

<p>Thanks for the help guys but I think I will just settle for California State University and maybe try for UC if I decide to go for my masters.</p>
