Hello,
I am a community college student who is looking to transfer to cal poly in order to earn a bachelors in comp sci. I am an independent student with no one to support and fully depend on financial aid and my job at a local store to cover my living expenses. And knowing that ECs in particular could mean the difference between acceptance and denial for a freshman, I was wondering if it is the same case with transfer students? If so, I would also like to know which would look better on my transfer app, 40+ hours of work a week? or ECs? if the answer is ECs, then is there a big difference between the two such that it could become a deal breaker? sense I am sort of dependent on my job and would have to live off of the money I am saving for when I transfer to a university if I am to start focusing on ECs
Any information regarding this matter is appreciated, thanks
