<p>Does anyone feel CC transfer boards get people more nervous about the transfer process than they should be? Like sweating over the most minute of stats or details, when really it doesn't make that big a deal...</p>
<p>I'm considering taking a long break from CC and not returning until late April when the UC decisions start coming out. What does everyone else think about this?</p>
<p>Yes it does. Although, you can end up "sweating" over every detail without the help of CC too!</p>
<p>lol, yea. I thought the minute you got some college grades, SATs were rendered meaningless. However, I came on here and discovered people retaking them, people who are sophomores in college. That kind of bothered me. And everyone on here is all like, International Government Society president of the world and phi theta beta tau sigma alpha gamma omega society chairman. It makes my ECs seem useless because they aren't as well recognized. But whatever.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that any applicant who log ons here is automatically more "involved" than others...and thus will have 'higher' stats!</p>
<p>Yeah CC tends to attract a select group of people (usually the super-duper overachievers with incredibly impressive stats)...It's not good for my self-esteem I tell you...! hah</p>
<p>i don't really pay much attention to what gpa people say they have...</p>
<p>I think there are a lot of good people on this board, and I go to ccc, which is very unsocial, so i like to come here and read and sometimes post. It helps kill time.</p>
<p>i dont think CC is an accurate representation of admissions cadidates. Seems like everybody here is an over-achiever. Seems like if i dont say "president of this, this, this, and this" i'm not 'up to par' with the rest of applicants. But, it's a nice place to hang out and fret with other prospies.</p>
<p>I think CC has calmed me as much as anything. I'm much better at achieving something if I know what is required than working blindly towards an uncertain goal.</p>
<p>It seems like everyone on the board are academic acheivers. Their stats are unbelievable. It certainly put my stats to shame. But I must follow my interests to the colleges that I'm applying to.</p>
<p>Yes and no... Last year when March rolled around this place became a support group which was nice to have. Also everybody here does have insane stats that will make you feel stupid... However half the time when you step back and look at your own stats you're just as impressive looking as them.</p>
<p>allena, not I. I am THE exception. hahaha.</p>
<p>This members of this board overall have "higher" stats than the applicant pool as a whole, which is not surprising.</p>
<p>I think that anxiety only gets to you if you let it. Yes, I have let it, but CC hasn't influenced me so much to make me wonder every waking minute if I'll get into my dream transfer school. This is because, I've been through the process once already, and I'm much more realistc than before. Yeah, I have a safety and two somewhat reaches, so I won't be left without any options, but I'll have to adapt to whatever comes. Getting back to the subject, I think CC may make some people anxious, but I know if I'm focused and I try my best, everything else is out of my hands. I also think that because less people apply for transfer, our applications are looked at with more detail maybe? I don't know, that's just my feeling. I could be wrong.</p>
<p>Last year when I left my CC I ended up having a 3.92 GPA as well as all that nifty honors stuff... In hindsight I know that was a pretty decent GPA, however this site always made me feel inferior, since everybody else had exceptionally high GPA's, as well as something special to set them apart.</p>
<p>Yeah, perhaps everyone on here should focus more on the actual application process rather than stats (like myself!!!)...</p>
<p>Allena--You are just crazy. The only more "exceptional" GPA is a 4.0. Did you get accepted everywhere you applied?</p>
<p>Bump.</p>
<p>I don't think he did which gives hope to all of us on here (the majority really) who have exceptional gpas.</p>
<p>Gabew42, I got in everywhere where I applied, which is all of the UC's (minus UCSC) and Tulane... I wish I had applied to Cornell as well, but I'm pleanty happy where I am.</p>
<p>ooops I meant I think he DID.</p>
