Picking a major and a university to transfer.

Transfer Students

<p>Hey guys, how are you doing? </p>

<p>This is my very first post here. I have been roaming in this site for weeks and then I finally signed up. </p>

<p>So I am a cc student in washington state and looking to transfer to a uni. Although this is still my first quarter, I have to think about what my next steps are. I'm still don't know what major will suit me the best. </p>

<p>I'm thinking of going into one of these programs:
1.Atmospheric science (U of Washington/Berkeley/Davis)
2.Bioresource engineering (only in UW) /Chemical Engineering (UW/Berkeley/Davis)
3.Earth space science, geology or geophysics emphasis (UW/Berkeley/maybe Davis)
4.Environmental science(UW/Berkeley/Davis)
5.Biological system engineering/Biotech?(Davis)</p>

<p>Those five majors appeal to me the most. So I would be happy to major in one of those. However, I also consider the workload of the major and the job prospect. Obviously, all of them have a huge workload except the environmental science one where you only need to complete 2 quarters of calculus and chemistry, and 3 quarters of biology. The chemical engineering will have the best job outlook. That's what I know. So what do you guys think?</p>

<p>Also I heard that it is very hard to transfer to top UC from out of state. I looked at Berkeley website, it said around 3500 transfer students were accepted this year, and just 52 students from OOS community college. So from the statistics, I conclude that my chances will still be very low even if I have a 3.9 or 4 GPA and a good personal statement?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>If you get a UW of 4.0, you’ve got a darn good chance at Davis and especially University of Washington. It looks like OOS CC is going to be a crapshoot, but I’d definitely apply anyway. </p>

<p>I’m not a very sciency person, so I can’t really say which one is the most appealing or anything, as I’d probably not enjoy any of them because I’m simply not good at science. </p>

<p>Good luck being admitted though. I’m sure everything will work out for the best, though. Happy holidays! </p>

<p>Would you please respond to my chance thread? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1722473-my-final-chance-thread-chances-at-uva-w-m-wake-forest-vcu-and-fordham.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1722473-my-final-chance-thread-chances-at-uva-w-m-wake-forest-vcu-and-fordham.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
