<p>I believe I will have more like at least 170 credits by the time I have enough money to transfer to a big school. This approach is simply not practical. It would take me nearly a decade to save up enough money for one year at a typical top 25 school, so I might as well get a degree or two first so I can make the money (meanwhile applying for scholarships). I suppose I could just go for one degree, taking as few classes as possible, so that when I transfer I only have to retake 70 hours worth. Still, I’d rather not.</p>
<p>The universities that I plan on applying two are pretty much the top tech schools. UC-B, MIT, Yale, UM, UCLA, UPenn, etc. I haven’t really looked into the particulars yet other than that UC-B ranks really high in a lot of things but says more than 70 hours will be denied admission.</p>
