<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I am from Southern California (45 min south of SB), but I have spent my first 2 years of college at Arizona State University studying Journalism with a minor in Geography. Last month I decided that I wanted to transfer to UCSB and solely major in Geography since they have such a great program. Since I obviously missed the deadline to apply for Fall '11, do you think they will open applications for Winter '12, or will I be stuck waiting around until next fall?</p>
<p>I will hopefully have an internship this Fall so that will keep me busy, but am I going to have to go to community college in the spring? If so, should I go to SBCC or the one closer to my house (Moorpark CC)?</p>
<p>I was also wondering if anyone is familiar with UCSB's Geography deparment and willing to give me advice or tell me their thoughts on it. </p>
<p>Also, I have a 3.8+ GPA and 1850 SAT so I am not too worried about being accepted, should I be?</p>
<p>Any help is appreciated! Thanks.</p>
