**OFFICIAL Mt SAC CC TRANSFER THREAD**

<p>woah! so much post since last night. Okay so blueskin…about UCR.</p>

<p>I sent a appeal in August and they send it back at the end of the month saying what I wrote last night. And I’m not sure everyone gets that offer of going back next year, so call them and see if they do offer it to you. For me, I’m still 50/50 because REMEMBER it’s a NONSCIENCE major…so no engineering, biology, chemistry, nursing, premed. </p>

<p>But other major in UCR isn’t bad! BUT I’M A SCIENCE NERD. I ONO. </p>

<p>My friend said the reason why they’re so strict this year is not that we got ONE D …but more people chose UCR than they’ve expected. </p>

<p>if you come to mt.sac…then I think we can help you more in this forum.</p>

722

<p>@ Churroke: IMO, just stick it out with Mt.SAC… if you like UCR that much, worse case you can transfer there in 2 years… at least you have a shot at other schools…</p>

723

<p>How do I know which courses i take at Mt SAc can transfer to De Anza?</p>

724

<p>Hmm… churroke. I think it would still be a good idea to go back to UCR because you can always switch back to engineering if you do well enough there. You can also transfer to another school if you’d like, except there would be less of a chance. </p>

<p>So yeah, I’ll give a call first thing monday morning if my counselor doesn’t email me back. I’ll keep you guys posted. Wish me luck!</p>

<p>Thanks again churroke and dainese.</p>

<p>@lightness - cool beans. good info to know about the english test.</p>

<p>french horn huh, that awesome. if your son needs help with counseling at mtsac, i suggest you stray away from them haha. ive had nothing but bad experiences with them. EG, the times ive gone in, theyve given me nothing but the wrong information.</p>

<p>but if your son has a good experience, please recommend us the name of that counselor haha. otherwise…the contributors to this thread are more useful. </p>

<p>as for calstates…getting accepted is extremely difficult right now. harder than some UCs actually. reason being…budget cuts. from what i understood and was told by the honors director at mtsac, getting accepted into calstates means you are a 3.8 GPA or higher. otherwise you are waitlisted/rejected. </p>

<p>and actually my cousin who had a 3.5 history major, got waitlisted to CSF then rejected, but got accepted to UCI and UCR. sadly, CSF was his first choice too…</p>

<p>but the counselor to talk to is linda diaz. she is in the honors office and you need to make an appointment with her. expect a waiting time of 2+ weeks haha. but it is always worth the wait. she is hands down, a life saver. </p>

<p>@Jjorianst32 - isnt de anza a CC? </p>

<p>when you take classes at 2 CC’s they all transfer over to your university or college that you transfer too, (as long as they are transferable of course)
and they will know. cuz they will ask for transcripts/academic records of ALL colleges youve attended. </p>

<p>i hope that answers your question.</p>

<p>@churroke - i agree with blackmamba. unless you can pursue what you WANT to do, its not worth the investment. since you would be transferring over as a sophmore, couldnt you technically go in then switch majors to science? lol. </p>

<p>or would that break some “contract” and youd get kicked out?</p>

<p>either way…at mtsac you have the choice to pick a UC or even a private like USC :). once u go to UCR, its much harder to jump from UC to UC.</p>

<p>and…NOT TRYING TO BASH ON UCR SO PLEASE DONT BE OFFENDED,
but ive never heard good things about it.
these are the top 3…partying, its hot/lonely, and its stereotyped as the school for rejects.</p>

726

<p>Thanks for the careing guys. I’ll definitely think about the advice you guys gave before making a decision.</p>

<p>But what it surprise me is Cal State is now HARDER to get into?
Dainese why is that?
Because I remember everone in hs who got into uci and high has gotten into every calstate…you name it. That is really a shocker man</p>

727

<p>@blueskin sorry to hear about your situation. i’m curious as to what your plan now is? cause people are moving in today to UCR. and btw I also attend PCC currently even though I live right next to mtsac (no classes, late registration…backed out of chapman university in july…but it was pretty easy for me to get classes at PCC, i got 16.3 units) to answer some of your questions. you gotta take the placement tests ASAP if you plan on attending. english, math, and chemistry if you’re up for it. and for winter intercession 1 or 2 classes is recommended, you dont want a full load for winter since they’re short term. and are you willing to make the drive? Traffic gets REALLY bad…i hate it. and btw you should joinscholars program at PCC, it gives you a priority registration date and you get to sign up for different block classes. If you have any other questions I’d be happy to answer them</p>

728

<p>@ speakbraille: Ouch going on the 10W and 210W in the morning… I feel bad for you man. Are you going to try and come back to MT.SAC for winter/spring?</p>

729

<p>Any current or previous AS officers know what the Fall leadership conference entails? I’ll be going and I haven’t really gleaned too much info about it.</p>

730

<p>@blackmamba2410 yeah man the traffic on the 210 is killer. but my cousin lives out over there so i usually sleep over there…save gas and time. and no I plan on finishing my GEs over there. One of the biggest reasons I chose pcc is because their scholar students get a priority registration date. its also easier to get classes…since mt sac is overcrowded…everyone is at mt sac right now T_T</p>

731

<p>@churroke -calstates are harder to get into because they got budget cut the hardest.</p>

732

<p>questions again!

  1. for winter registration, is it REALLY hard to get classes for freshman D’: ? I want Eng1CH-- does anyone know if that class gets filled up fast :T ?
  2. does being officer/ ICC Rep for a club look good as an extracurricular? I’m that for French Club and I didn’t know it would take up so much time and effort to be one o<strong>o’’
  3. is it really impossible to get out in 2 years nowadays?! D’8 <em>sob sob</em> I just said my goodbyes to many of my UC-bound friends and the feeling when doing so SUCKED-- I want to get out and go to a UC ASAP <em>preferably UCLA/UCSB</em>! ): As bad as it seems, I’m so desperate to leave this place and get into a UC of my choice, I’m thinking of going into Art History for LA or maybe Psych for SB just for the sake of yup yup getting out and going to a good school… :T If I have to stay here past Spring 2012… <em>shivers</em>
  4. When you transfer, where would you dorm o</strong>o? I know most UCs guarantee freshman year housing, but since I won’t be a freshman when I transfer, does this mean I have to rent out an apartment D: ?? Sigh, I really wanted to experience dorm-life :T
    Sorry for my rant there ToT I’m just really starting to regret coming here ):
    Thanks for reading! And the very best luck to you, Dainese, @ USC :D</p>

<p>@sunny -

  1. not as hard as fall/spring, but still hard. 1CH will fill up fast.
  2. yes, shows you can organize time while managing school work. basically you are well rounded.
  3. no. and dont rush :frowning: i know it sucks to see friends go, but if you rush and do badly, you wont end up going anywhere of choice.
  4. since u go to UC’s as a junior, you will NOT dorm. unfortunately going through a CC, most students lose the dorming experience. :frowning: however, some privates will take students with 30 units, like usc. so you would be going as a freshman/sophomore and you can still dorm :)</p>

<p>but as far as UC’s go…no.</p>

734

<p>I want Eng 1CH too for winter… but is that even possible since I dont even have grades yet before winter signups?</p>

<p>Damnnn I wanted to dorm too. :frowning: No biggie, as long as I can go to the school, I’ll be happy :D</p>

<p>For USC 30 units, when would you apply? Fall 2011 for fall 2012?</p>

735

<p>yup. they will basically be looking at your hs records with such little units.</p>

736

<p>Wouldnt I be applying to UCs in fall 2011 as well? Whats the difference between the 30 units then?</p>

<p>So the earliest I can take honor classes is spring?</p>

737

<p>same question…so as long as we got 30 units…we can apply to USC?
what about prereq?</p>

738

<p>whoops sorry, read taht wrong haha
if they wanted to get into USC they would be applying now. FALL 2010 and go in as sophomores/freshmen fall 2011.</p>

<p>u can take honors anytime as long as you meet the requirements.</p>

<p>@churroke - yup 30 units minimum. pre-reqs dont matter as much. they will mainly be basing their decision based on your HS records so if you did bad in hs, i wouldnt apply. until you have more units</p>

739

<p>based on my HS records? that’s weird…I’m not applying as a HighSchool student
I barely have a 3.0 in high school…is that enough?
I’m a freshmen…how do I get 30 units?
can you give me more detail about this process? thank you</p>

740

<p>You would get 30 units based on your fall and spring classes this semester. But I assume admission would have to be provisional since they need to know your grades for the 30 units. Also I assume people who apply are people that wanted to go to USC and had like great grades in HS and still got rejected and are settling for a CC so they can go to USC… </p>

<p>So would I apply for honors after my fall grades are posted (since I only have 4 units right now because of summer)? So I wouldn’t be eligible to take honors in winter since winter registration is like midway thru fall…</p>
