<p>UCR? I know that with a 4.0 and great EC's I might have a shot, but what worries me is my SAT's, I didnt really care much about them because I knew they would not help me that much anyways. So my score was a 1250, is that too low? Should I take it again? Does anyone have any other advice? Thanks for your input....</p>
<p>man..so many ucr transfer's here. it's saddening for the campus. I know how it is after being here for two years - riverside just doesn't cut it. ;) but oh well! good luck, I'm not sure on your answer though by the way, are you planning sophomore transfer or junior?</p>
<p>Your SAT's typically dont matter if you do junior.</p>
<p>a friend of mine got into upenn with a 1270, but her rank and hs gpa was top-notch. also, her college gpa was close to 4.0 and she was a junior transfer from a college you've probably never even heard of.</p>
<p>anything is possible :]</p>
<p>Yea, I plan on attempting to transfer as a junior. As to what you said about UCR, I believe you are right in that it does not cut it. I really do not have anything against UCR, and chose to go here over another school. My thought process in making that decision was interesting though, I intentionally put myself there to make sure that I would not be satisfied and would work my but off to go the school of my choice. I knew that if I became content then I would revert back to my old lazy ways. Orginally I wanted to just transfer to UCLA, as growing up it was instilled in me that LA was the best I could ever hope to do. I was never encouraged to go to any school I ever wanted even though now I know I have the capability. Now I refuse to give up on that, If I do not gain admission to one of the ivies or stanford through transfer, then I will do my best again for grad school.</p>
<p>forgiven- thanks for sharing, that information is really encouraging, I know I have alot of work ahead of me. Thanks again.</p>
<p>bump, anyone else have any input?</p>
<p>I've been to UCR and you see all these people with school pride wearing their sweatshirts and whatnot, but when I come here so many people want out.</p>
<p>Is it just the reputation or does UCR really not make its students feel comfortable?</p>
<p>combination of the two.. also i would retake the SAT's if u want in the top privates.</p>
<p>ucr should be an official uc/community college hybrid with all the transfer programs.</p>
<p>haha yeeeppppp</p>
<p>retake the SAT's and take two SAT 2 subject tests(stanford RECOMMENDS these).</p>
<p>btw- what's your major?</p>
<p>political science...</p>
