<p>Alright so my situation is very complicated. I slacked off big time during my senior year and it was not because of senioritis---right at the beginning of senior year, I didn't feel any passion to ever go to college. I was so focused other things that college has been my last priority. Anyways, I still applied to several colleges---all of high are in California. So when decision letters came by, I was accepted to UC Riverside, UCSD, UCSB, UC Irvine, Cal Poly Pomona, CSU Long Beach, and CSULA. I was wait listed at UCLA because on the questionnaire I wrote about how I had poor grades my senior year and that I plan on improving them and I guess the admission officers did not want to outright reject me so they just wait listed me. </p>
<p>So I submitted my SIR at CSULA thinking that I could always transfer to a UC campus later on but now I truly regret if. As I was going through several topics on CC I heard that community college transfers have a better chance of transfering than CSU schools right? If that were the case, I regret having to submit my SIR for CSULA and not UCSD because that was originally my second choice school. </p>
<p>I don't know what I should do. I really want to transfer to UCLA and major in Molecular biology but I really do not like the idea of going to a community college. First, i worked so hard for the past 3 years of high school and going to community college is like a start all over :/. Second, I really want to experience that social aspect that comes with a 4 year university. I want to live on dorms, join clubs, make friends, etc...so if I go to community college and transfer to UCLA I will miss out my freshmen year in a 4 year university. </p>
<p>It was a big mistake for me to not care about college I the beginning of senior year. But now I deeply regret what I had done. Please share some guidance on what I should do now :/. It sucks to see all my friends going off to UC school while I'm stuck at CSULA.</p>
