Greetings, I was unfortunately denied admission to UCI this fall and I’m currently a business admin. major over at CPP. UCI has been one of my dream schools for as long as I can remember and still dream of attending. I’ve gone to assist.org, but there wasn’t an option from CPP to UCI. To whoever is reading this, if you didn’t know already, Business admin. doesn’t participate in TAG, so community college wasn’t really the solution, even though I should have gone to CC for financial reasons. I understand that it’s extremely harder to transfer from a CSU to an UC, which is why I plan on dedicating 90% of my time on academics to get the best grades possible. I’m afraid that I might get turned down if I talk to a transfer adviser. Even though I don’t live that close to UCI, I have many friends/relatives over there and because of this, I’m a bit miserable over here at CPP alone. By no means, CPP is not a bad school, but UCI is better the option in general. Thanks for reading if you made it this far and I would really appreciate any advice regarding classes to take here at CPP to ensure I take the right credits or any tips in general, so that I can make transferring possible.
If it makes you feel any better, transferring into UCI as a Biz major is equally hard at a CC and CSU. A 3.6ish and the right courses will probably do the trick but, that’s a pretty tall order. Other than the time and application fee, there is no downside in applying as a Jr.
Good luck
Thank you for the encouragement. I really appreciate it. I now just need to figure out which courses/credits to take to ensure that I have the highest chance possible to get in since assist.org isn’t helpful for this situation.
