Transferitis

<p>Whaaaaat? Top hundred? Who cares. If you make any group big enough, you’ll end up including just about every school. Talk to me about top 25 and you have my attention.</p>

<p>I decided to attend a CC than go to UCR, cal me stupid, but if I get into UCLA it will be all worth it :slight_smile: CHASING TEH DREAMM</p>

<p>Not trying to start any arguments or anything but top 100 sounds pretty good considering when you search online there are quotes which say that there are anywhere between 5000 and 7000 “institutions of higher learning” in the US alone. Granted these numbers include trade schools and CC’s I’d be wiling to bet that at least 1500 or so are universities or 4 year colleges. When speaking of top 100 we’re talking at most the top 5-10% in the country. Sure while number 94 is no Harvard it is by no means University “Not in the Top 100”… I can think of many reasons to choose UCR (if necessary) over hundreds if not thousands of other universities/colleges out there.</p>

<p>This is my fifth semester at my CC (I included summer) and my last. Frankly, I am going to miss it. The entire experience has been really good for me. I started here with one goal, get a 4.0 and thus far, barring catastrophe this final semester, I will graduate with a perfect grade point average and a Human Development Studies degree. I won a 1K scholarship, formed a PTK chapter from the ground up, and became best friends with the future governor of California. I’m not even joking. So I went from being a reclusive genius, to a social butterfly and getting great grades. I’m all about CC now.</p>

<p>So I’m going to miss this place, even the seemingly infinite amount of stairs! The one thing I won’t miss are the ****** bag Afghani and Indian guys who think they are extras on Jersey Shore. . </p>

<p>With that said, between my Ivy League application, coaching speech and debate, tutoring in the Math Lab, I don’t have transferitis. Down two, three seconds left, I want that damn ball. :slight_smile: </p>

<p>So my advice to all of you, savor these final moments, don’t waste all of the efforts you put in to get to this point, and start getting for the next stage.</p>

<p>For the love of God, April 29th, hurry. </p>

<p>I’m still as busy as ever at school but I can’t shake that date from my head even if my life depended on it. It is a mix of nerve-wracking anxiety and euphoric excitement. Like being hooped up on Red Bull while holding back a shart.</p>

<p>^lol. </p>

<p>UPDATE: Got a 99% on my Calc II Exam, 96% on my Acct Exam, and a 92% on my Botany exam. Guess im not doing as bad as I thought I was. I forgot just how easy accounting was.</p>

<p>Yessss… feeling a little less stressed for now (damn private school apps)</p>

<p>Personally, Im not feeling to worried or anxious about April 29th. It’ll come when it gets here. In the meanwhile, Im still very busy</p>

<p>99% on Calc 2 Exam. Nice one lol. Looks like you’re keeping up pretty well…</p>

<p>What gpa do you have to maintain to keep a college acceptance? Transferitis is killing me this semester…</p>

<p>So far still maintaining my 4.0 phew. It is pride and the disgusting feeling I get from seeing a B that is helping me fight off transferitis.</p>

<p>I am DYING for this semester to be over as well but I am still working hard because I can’t afford to mess up in my major prep classes, I’m honestly feeling the pressure to do well. Can’t afford any C’s, even though I’ve never gotten a C (except in Film/TV, HARDEST CLASS I’VE EVER TAKEN, harder than calc lol)</p>

<p>I wouldn’t be ashamed if a didn’t get another 4.0 this semester. My primary concern is passing my second english composition class which is something I was avoided taking for two years. Other than that, It really irks me when someone gets a higher grade than me on a test.</p>

<p>dont let transferitis get to you you guys. my last semester at CC was easily my closest call to getting rescinded (my fault i know). i literally had to score 100% on a final to get a B in a class, otherwise i would have been rescinded from LA. i scored 98% but luckily my professor had mercy on me.</p>

<p>Our advanced search function sucks terribly. It was easier to find this thread by googling it. </p>

<p>So how’s everyone doing? Hope y’all still keeping your grades up. I’m still managing to keep my grades up to my standards but my God I am so ready to transfer. It is all I think about everyday. It has only gotten worst since getting accepted to UCSB and as the end of March approaches. I day dream as I walk to class about where I’ll end up and how I’ll feel. It’s getting bad. lol.</p>

<p>For me now that I know I got accepted into a few school Im actually more motivated then ever lol. I might even strike a 4.0 this semester.</p>

<p>^Nice. I’m not any less motivated. I just know exactly how to maintain my 4.0 so I’m a lot less intense. Ironically, I would rather be stressed out of my skull than not. I function better when I am intensely stressed.</p>

<p>I can’t let transferitis affect me this semester. I’m actually MORE stressed out about schoolwork than I have ever been before. I need to be since undergrad admissions don’t matter much to me. My real goal is to get into Medical School and that requires that I don’t slack off. So I’m working harder than I’ve ever worked before with molecular bio, electricity &magnetism, and differential equations this semester and judging by my recent exam scores, I really think I can pull off straight A’s! :smiley: iA</p>

<p>It’s really the stress that’s killing me right now because I’m actually feeling my head literally heat up while studying and it makes me feel a bit distressed (a little anxious) on the inside so I think I’m gonna go take a nap now and then hit the gym once I wake up. A GREAT way to keep from burning out again.</p>

<p>^I’m planning on some sort of post-Bachelor’s degree so I can empathize. My transferitis is more of a conflicting of being ready to go but not being able to.</p>

<p>^But if it’s not for medical, dental or law school then you shouldn’t have too much to worry about. Unlike medical, dental, or law schools, Masters Programs aren’t really looking for grade regurgitating monkeys. Actually I’m not too familliar with the latter two types of schools I mentioned above but for medical admissions, they are totally unfair but I guess you have to go with the system if you truly desire to be a doctor. I’m even at a bit of a disadvantage because of the courses I took at community college. Medical schools think CC courses are a bit too easy so the 2 B’s I already have in Pre-med courses are BAD. But I’ll pull through :)</p>

<p>^It is for law school :-)</p>

<p>I’m already at a disadvantage having gone to a community college that does not use +/- on grades. My LSAC calculated GPA will be lower than it should be. Realistically, I can’t slack off for another three years lol.</p>

<p>Transferitis hasn’t caught up to me…yet. I think it really helps that a) I don’t know if I’ve gotten into the university I’m realllllly hoping to go to (UCI), but I did TAG and didn’t efff up so I should be fine…and b) I saved all of my easy classes (with easy & awesome profs) for my final semester (psych-human sexuality, ceramics, health, aerobics, and intro to soc :P)</p>
