<p>I'm a current UCR freshman and pretty much hating it. I came in with 24 units and am taking 18 units currently (and will be winter and spring as well). I also wanted to take 2 or 3 summer courses at UCLA. This puts me at Junior standing by fall 2010.</p>
<p>So the question is, apply now to UCLA UCSD UCSB and UCD as a junior transfer, with no gpa to speak of until december</p>
<p>or some other alternative? which I don't really know what else to do.</p>
<p>i REALLY want to get out of here, so any help would be useful. please and thank you</p>
<p>i dont know if this is important but
SAT - 1970
HS UC GPA - 3.6
massive amounts of extracurriculars including theater, student council, piano.
3 aps - all passed</p>
<p>yes! go ahead and apply
they take into account yoru fall gpa so do AS WELL as you can! :)</p>
<p>Wait a minute. Since you’re coming from UCR which goes by a quarter system. You need 90 quarter units to be eligible for junior level transfer. 60 semester units is equivalent to 90 quarter units.</p>
<p>point well taken i’m new to the quarter system thing oh boy</p>
<p>Yeah… I’ll have 90 quarter units by Fall 2010</p>
<p>apply but don’t expect to get in anywhere. you wont have a GPA until you update in January and the chances that they will accept you on the basis of grades from one quarter is very small.</p>
<p>if you have the time and motivation to get into a better UC, switch to CC and TAG all the schools you want to go to (you can’t TAG Cal/UCLA but everywhere below that) and apply to Cal/UCLA.</p>
<p>best of luck</p>
<p>arghhh. are there any other choices? if i ask the people at the offices here they try and convince me to give it more of a chance and they wont answer my questions.</p>
<p>that’s because they don’t care about you…:)</p>
<p>on the other hand your loving family here at college confidential is always open for service :D:D:D</p>
<p>yeah. reason number ten thousand why ucr sucks.</p>
<p>you have decent high school stats, why did you choose ucr? i got into ucr, ucsc and ucm and i chose the community college alternative and i got into ucsd, so im set. just wondering, dont have to respond if its personal… i know too many people who just do drugs all day there, i hate the atmosphere of riverside.</p>
<p>well i loved it when i first visited. then i got here and saw that everyone goes home every weekend. and i try to keep busy with friends and classwork, but the truth is it’s just a lame ass atmosphere.</p>
<p>if i had known, i would have taken the cc root.</p>
<p>wow, route. not root. ***.</p>
