<p>Okay so, I've been admitted to UCR for Fall Quarter 2009. I'm actually not sure how I got in considering I'm finishing IGETC in the Summer and I'll only have 50 units after Spring (2.8 GPA). However, I'm not sure if I should take this fluke and run or wait it out and re-apply in November. I would really appreciate some advice on this one.</p>

<p>Note: I also applied to UCI, but we all know I won't fluke an acceptance there. IF I wait this out and re-apply, I will have 3.2 GPA, an amazing extra curricular, TAG, and TAP for my Fall Quarter 2010 application; also, if you're wondering about my major, it's philosophy.</p>

<p>//sorry i’m bored</p>

<h1>include <iostream></iostream></h1>

<p>using namespace std;
float n1,n2;
int main()
{
cout << “How bad do you want to get out of CC?”;
cin >>n1;</p>

<p>cout <<“How bad do you want to goto UCI?”;
cin>> n2;</p>

<p>system (“cls”);</p>

<p>if (n1>n2)
cout << "Goto UCR
";</p>

<p>if (n2>n1)
cout << “Goto UCI”;</p>

<p>return 0;
}</p>

<p>I know someone that got into UCR after getting rejected from UCLA, which is kind of interesting, since he never actually applied into Riverside.</p>

<p>dude just hold out. think about it, going to a CC means ur getting a fresh start on ur academic career, do u really want to waste that blank slate on a school like riverside?? or wait and work a little harder and get into a school that you or no one else thought u could get into when you were in high school. just seriously think about it, your choice to go to a community college was like a rebirth, do u really want to waste that opportunity?</p>

<p>Yeah, you’re right. I kind of been leaning towards waiting as well; I guess I just needed some reassurance. Thanks again for your feedback.</p>

<p>Definitely wait to apply for Fall’10, unless you fall in love with Riverside (which I hope not) :slight_smile: No offense, but I think any UC is better than UCR (perhaps except for Merced), it’s worth a wait. </p>

<p>And with a higher GPA (3.2 or better) and everything you said, I think you’ll have no problem getting into other UCs (UCI, UCSD, UCSB, etc.)</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>i say wait and apply next year until you really dont like your life where you currently are. with a 3.2 you could get into SB and SD and enjoy your college experience much more</p>

<p>I say wait and apply. =) And you’re honestly not far from other schools. I’ll get honest here. I currently have a 3.5 GPA, not pretty high. I don’t like boasting about grades, because frankly, I’m not the academic type. It was prior to that semester when I had a 3.2 GPA, and got a “get your grades up” from my counselor. Thankfully I did. Filling out all the IGETC and the req., I got into UCSB, UCI, UCSD, and UCSC. I’d wait it out, and you’re bound to get your schools =)</p>
