Ah, thank you for the great response mikemac. This really helped me out a lot. Will I be able to stay at the community college for two years and apply for a tag program? As long as I get the gpa requirement at the new school? Even if I attended one year at UNR? My plan to get a 3.5 for the next two years at De Anza will be changing my study habits. The reason why I couldn’t do good here is because of a lot of family drama and there were many nights where I didn’t have a place to live and had to sleep in my car, and other personal things that really got in the way. I want to move to california and do well, extremely well at a Community College and get good grades and make my way into UCSC (at least). To be honest, I applied to De Anza currently for AS-T Computer Science for transfer, not sure if that is a good idea, but I believe technology is the new future. But currently still deciding on Computer Science or a plan to attend Pharmacy school. But your 5 year plan is definitely something I will most likely be doing. I just hope they will actually let me TAG UCSC.
