<p>First of all, I put UCR and UCSC on the list because they are both UC schools.
I heard Cal Poly Pomona is really good for engineering, but I don't know if that also relates to computer science...
For San Jose State, I heard students get a lot of internship opportunities in Silicon Valley since it is close to Silicon Valley..
So, which college would be best for computer science major? and which college would be best for employment??</p>
<p>Either of the Cal Polys or San Jose St would be fine for Comp Sci and employment opps.</p>
<p>What are your stats?</p>
<p>i had a 3.5 gpa in high school and got a 1820 on SAT and 25 on ACT
I got accepted to UCR, UCSC, Cal Poly Pomona, San Jose State, and Cal State Long beach last year and I obviously didn’t get into Cal Poly SLO or UCI 
I actually already SIR’d to UCR because I didn’t know much information about Pomona and San Jose State since I’m an international student came to United States when I was in high school 
So… I’m just thinking about transferring to either Cal Poly Pomona or San Jose state. Do you think UCR would give me employment opp with my computer science major???</p>
<p>Also, how hard is it to transfer from UCR to San Jose State or Cal Poly Pomona?</p>
<p>anyone???</p>
<p>I’m not clear where you are NOW. You got into UCR LAST YEAR, you SIR to UCR LAST YEAR, and you’re asking about transferring.</p>
<p>Are you a UCR student now?</p>
<p>Yea… And I wasn’t sure if I made a right decision</p>
<p>ouch, sorry to hear that. My general feeling in such matters is to make the most of a situation until a logical pausing point … which would be after freshman year.</p>
<p>It couldn’t hurt to make application for transfer… so I see where your question is coming from, I just don’t know the answer… well, actually, I do. Cal Poly SLO sounds like your ideal fit, but that isn’t an option, right?</p>
<p>It will be very hard transferring from a UC to a CSU since the system was not designed for that. Also, you will lose quite a number of units already taken since they won’t be transferable. </p>
<p>I agree with DunninLA that the logic pause point is at the end of the freshman year. If you really want to transfer, I think you will have a better shot completing 60 units and transfer as a junior. As a junior transfer, yours high school records and SAT no longer matter. </p>
<p>The only issue is that you will need to get decent grades at UCR to pull this off. Otherwise, you will need to go to a junior college to repeat this process which I am not sure is a good idea for you.</p>
<p>I don’t really mind losing all my units right now cuz im only taking 14 units this first quarter. Should I just drop out of UCR after first quarter and then go to community college for winter and then transfer in junior year? what do you guys think?</p>

<p>Why would you say that the UC credits won’t transfer to a Cal state?</p>
<p>so can UC credits really transfer to Cal State?</p>
<p>Do your homework. People don’t usually transfer ‘down’ from a UC to a Cal State unless there is really a compelling reason. Be sure you do your own investigation as to how much better those Cal States are, don’t take a “man on the street” opinion. Ask your professors. But likely UCSD, Irvine and of course LA and Berkeley are better. UCSC is good.</p>
<p>Also read the rules about transfer credits, don’t rely on vagueness and what people told you. Read the UC pathways website.</p>
<p>Why do you think you can’t meet your goals at UCR and why did you go there, and why are you looking to transfer?</p>
<p>Stay at UCR for at least a year…or maybe at least 2 years. Don’t leave mid-year because UCs are on the quarter system and Cal States are on the semester system. It’s easier to transfer credits when you have full years in. </p>
<p>There is nothing wrong with UCR…I think you should stay there all 4 years. Besides, the UCs have better financial aid (if that’s needed).</p>
<p>San Jose State and Cal Poly Pomona are both on the quarter system.</p>
<p>@BrownParent read the above. I’m an international student, so I didn’t much information about colleges.</p>
