<p>Hello everyone!
I have been reading college confidential for YEARS, and have finally decided to make an account and post, mainly because college, once again, is very stressful, and having all the help I can possibly get will hopefully remove some tension on my plate. So basically here are a few facts about me.</p>
<p>College: UC Santa Cruz
Major: Proposed TIM (Information Systems)
Cumulative GPA: Ended freshman year with a 3.62
Goal: Transfer to other (higher) UCs (CAL, UCLA, UCSD, UCD, UCI) Also looking into NYU STERN and USC MARSHALL</p>
<p>I know my GPA isn't that good, but I have tried my hardest to keep it up and plan to get it higher second year. But since the quarter starts in October, I will be applying for my transfer with the gpa of 3.62. I will be finished with all of my TIM prereqs by the end of Sophomore year.
I wanted to get some opinions on my chances of a successful transfer? Is it even worth it? I am devoting some of my summer to write good essays. I know that an intercampus transfer is much harder because UCs reserve space for CC students, but I also think that my 3.62 GPA at UCSC is harder to obtain than a 3.62 at a CC. I also know that all of my classes are going to transfer over, and I am not worrying about GEs because I am only about 2 or 3 in, and don't have time to worry about them untill summer sessions anyways. I would like any opinions or conversations (: Thanks you guys.</p>
