Most secure method of ensuring admissions?

Applying to College
1

<p>My GPA is not competitive - a 2.73 at the moment, 2.83 at Fall semester's end.</p>

<p>I am the VP / COO of a business club and Pres. of a philosophy club that a friend and I established. </p>

<p>I am applying as Bus Admin w/ emphasis in Accountancy. I would like to minor in Finance or Philosophy.</p>

<p>I'm looking to land an internship within the accounting industry within the next 2 months.</p>

<p>From my understanding, my chances are much more significant if I applied to a CSU as opposed to UC.</p>

<p>If I wanted to have a decent chance, I would have to apply for Fall 13'. With unfortunate news of budget cuts being more rampant than most of us would like to hear, as well as a long 4 years at a CC, I would like to be in a 4-year asap.</p>

<p>I would rather go to a UC than a CSU, for the purpose that UC's generally have more recruitment opportunities and a relatively more well-established alumni network. (correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't done much research on this, only a tad bit + hearsay do I come to this conclusion.)</p>

<p>My low GPA + my desire of 4-year education + my desire for a UC = apply for a major that is easy to be admitted to then change it? What are your thoughts on this? Why or why not should I pursue this method?</p>

<p>With my current situation, should I play it honest and apply to all UC's and CSU's and hope for the best? </p>

<p>Thanks for your time.</p>

<p>Must have a 3.0 at time of application to get into a UC. If you can’t fix that, it’s the CC route for you to get to UC. Some CSU’s have very good business schools.</p>

<p>if you’re going to go into accounting, you might as well just go to a CSU…</p>

<p>RSBuletz - what was I thinking?! Totally forgot that requirement! In that case, I’ll focus on Cal States…</p>

<p>CheesePuffPoppin - for what reason do you say that? The curriculum or recruiting opportunities?</p>

<p>Which btw…</p>

<p>Which CSU’s have decent/best recruitment for bus admin/acct?</p>

<p>Before you place too much value on unsupported opinions from anonymous posters on the Internet, be aware that CPP is a high school junior, just like you. </p>
