Does the location of your CC really play a factor in evaluation?

<p>According to point #7 on <a href="http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/general_info/uc_reviews/transfer_app.html:%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/general_info/uc_reviews/transfer_app.html:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>"The location of the student's college and residence" is one of the factors that play a role in admission decisions--*Is this referring to the location of our CC? *</p>

<p>If so, would you say that a school like UCSD may prefer to admit a 3.5 GPA applicant from a north California CC over a 3.6 GPA applicant from San Diego? </p>

<p>Just curious as to your guys' thoughts.</p>

<p>Did you mean someone with a lower GPA from the region of the school (San Diego to UCSD) as opposed to a higher GPA from a different region (San Francisco to UCSD?)</p>

<p>it’s talking about CA cc’s over out of state cc’s…and CA resident’s over out of state residents/international students…</p>

<p>theregoesevan: yeah, that’s exactly what I meant</p>

<p>lakerforever24: oh…I see…</p>

5

<p>ive heard a few rumors myself, about how area affects admission. like Alameda county gets a little bit of favoritism for UCB, etc etc.</p>

6

<p>I don’t really think it matters but like CalBearGuy guy said, a lot of CC’s in the Bay Area, especially De Anza and Diablo Valley have really high transfer rates to UCLA and Cal.</p>

<p>Dont know if its the same but the csu’s are greatly determined by locations(pretty much have to be in sd for sdsu, lb/oc for csulb and fullerton) i know for a fact my school has transfer agreements with some uc’s(ucsb and ucr)</p>

<p>With all of the budget cuts, many state schools declared that they will limit enrollment. One of the ways they plan to do this is to give priority to local residents and/or students who live within a certain geographical border. Therefore, the 3.6 student from San Diego applying to San Diego may well be accepted before the 3.6 student from further away. If you google news reports about this, you may be able to find some reports from this past year regarding this. Of course, each application stands alone so generalizations are hard to make.</p>
