<p>Some posters are 1) transferring from a community college or 2) so utterly disgusted with the college that they're currently at that they really couldn't stand the thought of staying there for four years. Thus, some of us have to have safteties as staying at our current institutions isn't an option.</p>

<p>Also, if you know what colleges you're applying to, then go to their websites and find the page for transfer admission and you should be able to find out the deadline for applications. Some have March deadlines, some have April and even May deadlines.</p>

37

<p>um safeties? UCSB has guaranteed acceptance. SD is not that comp seeing who gets in... thats how i do it.</p>

38

<p>Yeah. I agree with ScoobyGurl, I don't want to finish my schooling here, at my current school I mean, which is why I'm applying ot UIllinois as a safety.</p>

39

<p>I put in my applications this week to:</p>

<p>Hampden-Sydney College
Grove City College
Saint Louis University
Murray State University</p>

<p>I might apply to some more places</p>

<p>highschoolda, you got into UCI, UCSD & UCSB out of highschool? What made you choose to attend SMC besides the fact that you want to be a Bruin? Most would have chosen otherwise.</p>
