I’m currently a senior in high school and I’ve recently been rejected by most of my top choice schools (Accepted to Cal State Northridge, Cal State Fullerton, UC Riverside; Rejected from UC Irvine, UCLA; Waiting on UC Berkeley, USC, NYU - still hoping, but very doubtful).
I had a 2280 SAT and a 3.7/3.8 W GPA, but had 4 C’s and 2 D’s in my Honors/AP classes without any “valid” reasons - likely why I was rejected from most schools.
That being said, I plan to attend a community college (looking at Santa Monica College and Pasadena City College) and then transfer to another private university or UC (likely looking to transfer to the schools I’ve applied to & have been rejected from ahahaha). My intended major is Business Accounting/Administration.
My problem (and question):
I noticed that I am too late to apply to SMC’s Fall term (PCC’s Fall term is still open, but I think that because I am applying so late, most if not all classes are taken and that may jeopardize my transfer chances). I didn’t really think about applying to Community Colles prior to receiving my rejection letters (I really should have thought about…). I want to know if attending the Spring term is okay … would it have any effect on my transferring? or what should I do … I’ve looked up info about transferring (not in depth), but I’m still not too sure and I really don’t want to mess this up (again). I really want to have a chance at fixing my mistakes in high school, and I hope this won’t hurt my chances.
Thanks!! I’d really appreciate some help…and maybe other students in similar circumstances can refer to this as well. I hope there isn’t already a thread with a similar topic … if so, delete this please, but refer me to the topic?? I really need to research like crazy about the transferring process…no messing up again! Thanks again!!
