<p>This is my basic situation: I'm at a Cal' State as a film major and I'm completely unsatisfied not only with the school but with the major and in general where my life is headed. It's become abundantly obvious that I've chosen the wrong major and the wrong school. I just began my senior year so I have this semester and next before graduation. I've been considering going back to community college and then trying to transfer to a UC after I get my bachelor's degree but upon reading some of the UC school's admissions pages I've discovered that they seem to frown upon double baccalaureates:</p>

Second baccalaureate candidates are evaluated on a case-by-case basis when enrollment allows. Contact the Office of Admissions for more information prior to applying.

<p>Without getting too personal (why did you make it through three years without realizing you made this mistake?) would it be advised that I graduate and risk the case-by-case basis or should I drop out and go back to community college?</p>
<p>What do you want your 2nd bachelor to be in? You might be able to get a master in it instead.</p>
<p>Is it too late to pick up a minor in your current school? I know you're not satisfied with the school either but maybe it can mitigate your dissatisfaction somewhat. Maybe a minor in business can give you some options.</p>
<p>graduate first.
then go for it.
atleast with a degree u have other options.
more options = better
who cares if its case by case.
if u make a strong candidate and make a strong case for urself, nothing can stop u
good luck</p>
<p>what UC is that quote from.</p>
<p>Most of the UCs flat out do not accept candiates for second bachelors.</p>
<p>Dropping out will do you NO GOOD. You are a senior from a 4 year, they will not accept you, you have accumulated to many units. Junior year is upper division, plus the lower division units plus whatever you will take at community college puts you at senior standing no matter what you do and they do not take senior transfers.</p>
<p>You really have to stick it out and graduate. I think the idea above about a master's is a good one. Try to figure out what you might want to get a master's in, start taking those courses now. Many Cal State schools will admit you to a master's program even if you don't have all the prereqs, you can finish up your prereqs after you enroll, makes more sense than trying to get a second bachelor's. A second bachelor's only makes sense for fields like engineering or science, for those kinds of fields, it might make sense.</p>
