<p>So, if you're reading this, thank you. I graduated hs in 2010 I went to an out of state community college to play sports. After I finished the year I went home and took care of a re-occurring medical problem. After laying low for all of summer and fall term I decided to go to my local community college. It has been two years now and I have been accepted to University of Oregon (only school I applied to). Unfortunately I am having second thoughts about my school choice. Currently my transfer g.p.a. is a 3.95. I got my spring term grades back, and again earned straight A's, it was at this time that I realized how much better a student my cc has made me. And so after thinking about it, I realized that if a stayed another year got involved with honors society, did charity work, took 200 level french, did the calculus sequence, and took physics or maybe literature on top of it. Would I have a shot at "better" schools? So.. i guess whats really holding me back is... That I know I learn exceptionally well in a small friendly environment(learning is what is important to me, I don't care about credits on a transcript that's just a bonus to learning), and UO is not really going to be like this. Oh and I want to add that I am saving my 200 level econ for the school that I transfer to. The extra year would allow for more personal development, and potentially assist me with getting into a more prestigious Uni. If i do decide to stay after transferring, I would do 2 years including summer at my university in order to graduate as fast as possible. My future aspirations are law school or potentially finance work (note I am note interested in becoming a glorified salesmen this is only my last resort if graduate school doesn't work out)
I am also apprehensive to go to UO because I know that the campus and teachers are the very liberal activist types. Which is fine, but I am more of a moderate, who is open to many perspectives (from what current students tell me i would not fair so well).
p.s.
I am so sorry for the book I wrote; And the fact that my grammar and punctuation is far from perfect. ( i have to help my uncle move and im already running late) Thank you to all those that help me, Im really am looking forward to your advice.</p>

No. You already have 3.95+ GPA</p>
<p>You already have a shot at more prestigious universities. I have one question though, why did you choose University of Oregon? I don’t know if you’re a CA resident, but if you are you could try to apply to UC’s they’re pretty prestigious (IMO). Or you could try USC next fall…</p>
<p>I am an Oregon resident at an Oregon Community College, I originally chose UofO because its not far from Home and I did not understand that I could go to more prestigious schools (I thought it was the best I could do).</p>
