<p>a university? i have a 4.11 w in hs and 3.73 uw. 1850 on sats. btw do ppl retake sat's if they transfer? or just leave their original score? i also have gotten 30 units in college classes before graduating hs. however these wont transfer becuz its done before graduation. i also applied to:</p>
<p>so what should i do? go to community or university? im a senior in hs. would even have a chance at getting in as transfer since NU is very prestigious?</p>
<p>Well since you already applied, its time to start finding a college that you like that you get in to. Hopefully you would be fine going to any of the colleges on your list — and you should be, they are all terrific schools. And why would you want to go to community college? You would have a much, much higher chance of transferring being successful at any of those colleges on your list for two years than community college. Especially if you aren’t successful at transferring, youd continue on to get your bachelors instead of an AA. </p>
<p>I had a good friend in high school whose heart was set on going to Cornell to study engineering (and also be with her older long-distance boyfriend…), she kept saying throughout her senior year she would try and transfer immediately. Well, she ended up going to UCLA, loving it, and had no intentions of transferring at the start of her sophomore year. </p>
<p>College admission season is tough. Almost everybody gets rejected from places they really want to go. You just have to realize that is going to happen and start enjoying other places.</p>
<p>Pick a 4 year that you like and go there. You may love it and abandon the idea of transferring. If you still feel like trying for a transfer, you can. But if you go to a CC and then try to transfer and fail, you’re stuck.</p>
<p>okay thanx guys! : ] yeah im sure id love it at pepperdine and any other college but i was thinking about graduate school. if i go to pepperdine, would i be able to get into say…NYU or USC after that? also im kinda worried that if i go to pepperdine or LMU or something, then i wont have the same job opportunities. for instance, famous people became famous after going to NYU, but if u look at pepperdine, no one has come from there (at least i couldnt find any info online). that kinda displayed who was successful from wich school. quote me if im wrong. also, i want to live in new york, im pretty sure. at least right now it seems awesome to me lol but i know its too early to think of this (call me crazy if u wish) but i used to want to have a family live in los angeles but now i think new york is much more exciting and a great place for kids to study (with all the prep schools) for my kids someday : ] </p>
<p>and i have safeties, just not mentioned on here or it’d give away who i am to the ppl at my school lol u can PM me. also if anyone has evidence that it isn’t too hard to try and transfer from a univ compared to community, please post it! thanx : ]</p>
<p>the only reason it would be easier to transfer from a community college if the school was public, like the UCs and had agreements within the state. </p>
<p>so private universities dont care? ive heard this from someone else…that nyu (my first choice) that i didnt get in to, doesnt care if u go to community or not. </p>
<p>so should i just go somewhere i get in to then? i was considering going to cc to transfer easily…but i want to go to a private skool. preferably USC or NYU but im probably going to get into pepperdine or LMU</p>
<p>You have an interesting list. Some very large campuses-ie-Cal and UCLA-and some much smaller-Claremont. What criterion are you using to select a college?
Once you have your acceptances in hand, have the financial aid offers on the table, your decision will be much easier.
