<p>Apparently its much harder for OOS students to get in, so I was wondering if I even had a shot....</p>
<p>My school now is ranked in the lower part (80s) of America's Best Colleges. (USNews.com), and its in the lower half for top 50 public schools.</p>
<p>Its not very well known though.</p>
<p>I'm a science major
I have a 3.6 gpa
I have a fair amount of community service
I'll be working this semester, and volunteering at an animal shelter.
I was 5th in my HS class.
My SATs were 600s across
I currently have 50 credits, after my fall semester I will have 64 - 67 (depending on if I add another course).
I'm in my sophomore year and want to transfer for my junior and senior year.</p>
<p>I want to major in animal health.
I'm also looking at CSU: Fresno.</p>
<p>Yeah, it's interesting you'd want to go to a CSU coming from New York. I think you should give it a shot at the UCs if you want to come to California for school.</p>
<p>I liked it because its near an area where I want to live permanently. </p>
<p>And aside from Fresno, which I also plan on applying to (and aside from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo - not applying to though) I don't see animal health majors. Animal science and animal health are similar, but animal health is geared slightly more towards what I want to do. From what I've seen its more handling and identifying disease, while animal science deals more with livestock and food animals.</p>
<p>I will probably apply to some others, but I want to stay some what near LA.</p>
<p>Cal Poly Pomona.....? I can't say I've been there, but I haven't heard anything good about the city of Pomona. Apply to one of the Claremont schools! woo-hoo! Except they probably don't have the major you're looking for.</p>
<p>The Claremont consortium. Pomona, Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, Scripps, and Harvey Mudd Colleges. They're liberal arts colleges in Claremont (a city close to Pomona but a much better/safer area). Here's the website: Welcome</a> to Claremont.EDU</p>
