<p>If you go to UC then to CC then transfer to UC, your not the same as a CC to UC transfer, your still going to be put at the bottom of the list. At least that is what i was told back when i was applying because i had the option of going to UCSD for a bit but instead waited it out for UCLA.</p>
<p>And anyways, i had the exact same issue with UCLA and left UCLA. UC's are not for everyone. If you think the classroom environment will be different, your very wrong. You do seem to be learning useless things in the UCs, they prep you for grad not for work. Look into CSUs.</p>
<p>any more advice? and does someone know for sure that you will be put at the bottom of the list of transferring from a CC to UC if you already were at a UC?</p>
<p>Hi everyone,
I am a transfer student who is doing her 2 quarter at UCSD.
I had a terrible first quarter and ended up dropping 3 classes. I got a C in my only class for that quarter. I am a bioengineering major.
I am not doing good this quarter either.
What am I supposed to do now?
I am really worried about flunking out. I am a very good student but had bad experiences with my room-mates. I want to make sure that I bring up my gpa.
For next quarter( if I survive)
I am taking Ochem 140B, Genetics, Mammalian physiology and Linear Algebra.
Do you think this course load is too much?
Give me an honest opinion, please.</p>
<p>I know that for me Organic Chemistry was the most difficult course I ever took in college. I did not find Linear Algebra that difficult but I was an Astronomy major so I had to be fairly good at Math. I took Genetics and Human Physiology (humans are mammals) in medical school and they were a lot of work but that is the way medical school is.</p>
<p>The fact that you could complete only one course and got a C in it during your first semester does not augur well for you though. If your roommate is really the problem than go to your RA and tell him/her that unless you get a new roommate you will likely flunk out of school. I was an RA many years ago and was able to quickly spot who the trouble makers were and would find some way to get a student with roommate problems into a better situation.</p>
<p>if you read college review sites, UCSD has the worst ratings even worse than csu schools. People say everyone there is stuck up, un-social, god complex nerds =/</p>
<p>It’s not a matter of whether or not dropping out of USCD is good or bad. It’s about whether or not droppinh out will be a benefit for you or a downfall. It’s all a matter of personal opinion.</p>
<p>“why do so many people from other UCs want to transfer out? they sound so spoiled”</p>

<p>Hey how did you do that? I want to go to a cc and then transfer to a UC ( I am currently at UCSD) but the cc wont let me because I was already enrolled in UCSD for my first quarter</p>
<p>So Im a current student (transfer from CC) at UCSD, and the rumors here are not as bad as people say. Its slightly anti-social, and in order to find the people to get along with, you have to really look around, but so far, Ive been enjoying my stay here. </p>
<p>TIP : Dont live on campus. I only hear bad things about this. Try to be proactive. Ive taken a job at a local elementary and I try to hold and get to know people from my sections. Honestly its been a lot more fun and social than my community college…</p>
<p>The walk is not that bad. I walked through Davis, and that campus is SUPER big. Half the time, you wont go beyond Gilman drive (6th college), which honestly takes maybe 10-15min to walk across the entire across. </p>
<p>@Original poster : To face the facts, if you are doing bad in UCSD, theres a pretty low chance that you’ll succeed in UCLA unless something real drastic happens. If you still feel like you want to, look towards to a TAP for UCLA. If its another strategy, apply for a major that is not as impacted (Asian American studies ; Jewish studies) and try to switch majors. Do not go for a major that is highly impacted, more or less likely youll have a bad time with this.</p>
