Transferitis

<p>Been awhile since I last made a thread....</p>

<p>But who's suffering from some major transferitis? I have straight A's and am really over CC already, I need a new challenge. Plus, since I started spring semester Im still overwhelmed with transfer apps to the privates (USC, Cornell).</p>

<p>I feel pretty disconnected with my current courseload which includes Botany, Calc II, and Managerial Acct. I don't feel like dominating everything like I used to. I feel that my performance at school is slipping. I just wanna leave!!!</p>

<p>I also been riding on those "paper planes" more often (if you know what i mean).</p>

<p>Anybody going through the same thing? How are you dealing with it?</p>

<p>FML</p>

<p>nooo!!! DONT LET TRANSFERITIS TAKE YOU. I’ve been working soo hard to avoid it, but I catch myself slipping so often…like inviting my bf over instead of working on my lab…like being on cc when I should be working on the biggest project of my life due monday…
oh no.</p>

<p>also, good luck on cornell. thats boss.</p>

<p>Sounds like we’re experiencing the same things…</p>

<p>I’m also working on privates, but it feels like a joke because of the likelihood I’ll get in. Most of them have sub 10% transfer rates. (One of them is Cornell and I’m NOT liking the reputation it has for suicide.) </p>

<p>Transferitis has sucked out so much motivation that I’m just trying to get by. Berkeley has never looked so good!</p>

<p>What college are you applying to within Cornell? My major’s in CAS.</p>

<p>Yeah Im applying as an Economics Major also in CAS. Suicide reputation? LOL. Never heard of Cornell having a rep like that. I just applying cause its an Ivy and I may decide to go there instead of Berkeley. But now I just need a change in scenery.</p>

<p>Really? I thought that was a common perception. It was big news last year. ([Two</a> suspected suicides confirmed at Cornell; total now at six - CNN](<a href=“http://articles.cnn.com/2010-03-20/us/new.york.cornell.suicides_1_suicide-prevention-cornell-daily-sun-medical-examiner?_s=PM:US]Two”>http://articles.cnn.com/2010-03-20/us/new.york.cornell.suicides_1_suicide-prevention-cornell-daily-sun-medical-examiner?_s=PM:US))</p>

<p>Well, since we’re competition, I wish you g’luck. Though I’ll have hoard it all for myself.</p>

<p>Yes. I am so anxious about transferring that I am getting ahead of myself and getting distracted. Must. Focus. It’s not working though. </p>

<p>For me, this semester is going by fast. I just finished my 2nd week back and it felt like two days. I thought it would go by slowly. I’m afraid of falling behind at some point.</p>

<p>Didn’t know about the suicide. Oh well, I wont be offing myself thats for damn sure. That school is my ticket to Wall Street. Good luck to you too though… maybe we both get in.</p>

<p>@heytherejessie: Yeah I know what you mean. Im taking Calc II (beast of a class) and I feel like Im not dominating like I should be. Like im not keeping up</p>

<p>“That school is my ticket to Wall Street.”</p>

<p>lol</p>

<p>I have a horrible case of transferitis. I find myself sitting on the UCI website looking at all the teams/clubs I want to be a part of and daydreaming…I know its probably unhealthy considering I have no idea if I got in (Okay, I have a pretty dang good chance if I may say so myself). I also sit around and dream about getting the acceptance letter to UCLA but I honestly doubt I would actually go there if I got in. That is a whole 'nother story. My semester doesn’t start until Feb 24 and I didn’t have to take winter session so I am bored out of my skull. I only work about 30 hrs/month so seriously, I’m dying over here. </p>

<p>Sorry, I know some of you are in school and already stressed out, but I’m DYING to just get the last semester over with. I know a few people that spent 7+ semesters at my CC, I am not sure how they handled it. I am starting my fifth and final semester and I feel ready to burst.</p>

<p>BTW does anyone go to Citrus Community?</p>

<p>@natjan
omgg i’m doing stuff like that too!!! Like i’m already trying to figure out where i should live in ucsd…and sometimes ill even do the same for cal x_x…it might be somewhat unhealthy behavior but heyy were guna have to do it at some point!</p>

<p>goingmeta…any stories you’d like to share with us? ;]</p>

<p>I’m with you there!</p>

<p>I had a major case of Senioritis in high school so I knew it would happen again and planned accordingly - I crunched all my major pre-reqs and IGETC classes in the Fall so I could relax Spring semester (2 classes, French and Linguistics aka Easy A’s!) and get away with riding on “paper planes” more often ;)</p>

<p>^so, so lucky/smart. i pretty much saved the hardest classes for this winter quarter…sigh</p>

<p>@natjan I am totally doing the same thing with UCI too, and I think I’m in, but you never know. Trying to keep my thoughts positive.</p>

<p>I only have one GE class this semester and the other 4 classes are theatre classes for my drama major, so I am a little more relaxed this time around. Still, my theatre classes require a lot of research, reading, and memorizing…which I need to do right now instead of lurking on CC haha :)</p>

<p>definitely feeling the transferitis…but this feeling will end once our results for the UCs come out.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Ah, that explains your username. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>There was a guy on the forum who got into Cornell from a CCC. Wonder where he is now.</p>

<p>Only two classes Maddielove? Hmmmm… Do you know if we are forced to be full time the semester before we transfer? I could swear I had read that somewhere. I decided to take an econ class this semester since it is the only social science I haven’t taken so I figured I would and its KILLING me already. It’s not that the subject is hard but the teacher swears he’s teaching an honor’s seminar at Harvard to a group of already government-employed economists. I wouldn’t mind only keeping my “just-for-fun” classes.</p>

<p>@redoplease</p>

<p>Housing is a major concern for me so I can’t help but start to scope out places. I am from the Inland Empire (40 miles east of LA if you’re not familiar) and am pretty dang familiar with LA so it’s easy for me to scout out places for UCLA. It’s so bad. My boyfriend won’t even talk about it with me because he doesn’t want me to be crushed. Not that he isn’t encouraging, but we all know how hard it is, lol. </p>

<p>I keep looking at the UCI rowing team which I want to join so bad. And their rock climbing (which I am a huge participant in), and their outdoor stuff they offer to students. I just can’t help it! I’m excited!</p>

<p>But seriously, what harm can it do? I have a TAG to Irvine, a 3.5 gpa and am a womens studies major. How the heck can they refuse me!?</p>

<p>And as far as classes go, I totally saved my most dreaded class for last. Biology. I am so terrible at science and have little interest in biology especially, it’s going to be brutal.
I also had to keep a full time status for my financial aid, so I feel anyone else’s pain about being loaded with classes for the final stretch.</p>

<p>natjan were so alike! except for the whole outdoors/sports part haha…hellz no. i live close enough to berkeley to scout housing out too. although im now starting to consider living in the dorms…if i get in lol. and if u dont mind me asking, why is housing a big issue with you? and my bf is the SAME exact way! i think hes more afraid of my ****yness if i dont get in than anything -_-
and yay atleast u have a UC that u wouldnt mind going to other than la! u really cant go wrong with either. and i too saved my science with a lab for last…■■■.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>personally, with your gpa and your choice of major, I’m pretty much sure you’re in at UCLA as well (provided you didn’t bomb your essay or anything :slight_smile: )…and mind you, I’m generally not one to do the whole “chance me” thing either.</p>
