<p>I suggested that she major in Pharm Sci (because she likes science) and go to community college and transfer with TAG. I know that UCI’s Nursing program is ridiculously competitive, and at least she has a very good chance of transferring with Pharm Sci. </p>

<p>What do you think? Should she listen to her big sis? </p>

<p>Repost when her Junior is finished and has SAT and/or ACT scores. No point in chancing. Have her calculate her UC GPA: <a href=“GPA Calculator for the University of California – RogerHub”>http://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>But is she competitive enough given her courseload and ECs? </p>
