<p>heres my problem and I hope you can solve it.</p>
<p>As I am sure you have heard of ASSIST</p>
<p>-Heres how I see it-</p>
<p>You pick your school (Berkeley) and a major (Business Admin)</p>
<p>for the next two years you follow the classes that is listed so that you can transfer</p>
<p>If you miss one requirement (maybe Econ or History or anything else random) your application will be thrown out, but you not that stupid to miss one.</p>
<p>So you apply to Berkeley good for you, but now how can you apply to USC or UCSB or the IVYS?</p>
<p>Why you ask? because lets say something on assist was tranferable for Berkeley won't be on the list for the other schools, or vice versa.</p>
<p>Please help me understand how I can apply to all the schools</p>
<p>P.S. For Berkeley it's Haas school of business (FYI) and It's pretty tough so I imagine if I was denied then that's it.</p>
<p>Is it just me or do I also feel rushed into picking my major? (Because ASSIST needs your major so you can transfer, and I heard you need a major by junior year)</p>
<p>Not sure what you're asking. You want help to apply to ivys?</p>
<p>One way of doing this is to see the individual school's requirements for transfer and try to coordinate this with the requirements for UCs. Given the ec workload you'll have to have to apply to competitive private schools you'll want to plan as carefully as possible.</p>
<p>You have to realize that private schools will have very different requirements and you'll have a lot of juggling to do.</p>
<p>ivys are pretty much out of the question for transfers.... USC is def. possible but like the previous poster it has completely it's own requirements for GE and all that so you can't really "cover all the bases" for private schools, like you can w/ UC's and igetc or w/e.</p>
<p>Hmm, I was always under the impression that Columbia and Cornell were accessible for cc students. Difficult yes, inaccessible no. They do a lot of recruiting at my cc and I've had a few recruitment type letters from them.</p>
<p>Columbia's main campus is very difficult to get in to. What you are thinking of I believe is Columbia</a> University School of General Studies which is for returning students. Also Cornell's college of Letters of Arts and Sciences is difficult to get into but some of there other departments are accessible to community college students.</p>
<p>Be careful about becoming "prestige-struck". For any private, you will have a difficult time finding course articulations. USC has some articulation agreements here: <a href="https://camel2.usc.edu/articagrmt/artic.aspx%5B/url%5D">https://camel2.usc.edu/articagrmt/artic.aspx</a> . For other schools, you may get stuck reading course descriptions in their general catalog comparing it to your CCs, and hoping it's close enough for them. </p>
<p>Another thing to take into consideration is that transferring to privates will require SAT scores, which can be a problem if you haven't taken them/didn't get good scores. </p>
<p>There are more private schools than just the ivies too. I'm sure Georgetown, Emory, etc have good business programs.</p>
