My chances for psychology/philosophy

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey there, I'm new to this site; been reading comments on the forums for a month now and thought I'd try my own thread.</p>

<p>I need some help regarding which major to chose and what my chances are for either.</p>

<p>I left the states for France upon graduating high school- I wanted to become fluent in the language. I worked there as a nanny for one year. I am now attending a CC, my GPA is a 3.61, I work 30 hrs/ week as a waitress and care for my mom whom has Parkinson's disease. I m also nearing completion with a book that my mother and I started years ago concerning her addictions and our past to present relationship- how we have healed. </p>

<p>I am very interested in psychology- if I chose to take that route, I will have all of the course requirements completed with a 4.0 by spring 14'. However I don't know if it would be wise of me to apply for psych if my GPA is not hight enough to get in. Otherwise I may chose to apply for philosophy- also an interest of mine and also will have four classes under my belt upon transferring. </p>

<p>UCB is my dream school, and the location would be right for me at this time in my life. </p>

<p>Extra curricular activity aside from what is stated above:
2 years CC water polo goalie - selected MVP and 1st team all around
Alpha Gamma Sigma Honors society</p>

<p>Any advice regarding my current situation is very much appreciated; I need to start prioritizing my school load ASAP.</p>

<p>Thank you in advance</p>

<p>Can you afford USC for philosophy? Or USC sucks in that field?</p>

<p>Catria, USC is a good school however the cost is more than double that of the UC’s - except UCSD, which is more than the others. I haven’t done much research in regards to the philosophy dep. at USC, I’ll check that out right now.</p>

<p>You asked if I could afford it USC, yes I could with loans - however I would rather not have to rack up a huge amount of debt for my bachelors</p>
