<p>I am currently a high school graduate and will be attending UCR for business economics this fall. I eventually want to end up at UCSD. I was wondering if the CCC would be a better route. This link Transfer</a> Admission Guarantee for Fall 2013 says that the TAG to UCSD will end fall 2014. It says I have to apply fall 2013 for admission in fall 2014, so would I still be eligible? I have several AP credits from my high school. I appreciate your suggestions, thank you for your time.</p>
<p>Why not go to a community college first and then apply to UCSD and tag UCR. That way of you get denied at UCSD, you’ll be at UCR as a junior and it would like if nothing changed. I don’t think you’ll qualify for the UCSD tag because you won’t have the 30 ccc unit requirement.</p>
<p>I’ve always had the feeling that ccc students are thought of as failures. That’s the only reason. Even if I have ap credits it wouldn’t make me eligible?</p>
<p>If you have AP credits, you can use that towards units at your Community college. Honestly though, I thought the same thing, but after almost 3 years (a bit too long) I managed to get into UCSD and UC Davis. At high school I was only accepted to UCR and CSUDH. Good luck!</p>
<p>Well, that’s sweeping generalization. Anyway, that’s the thing I’m unsure about. How many ap units do you have?</p>
<p>I have comp sci (4) bio (5) macro apes ab</p>
<p>agreed with mermaker!!
you won’t be eligible for the TAG. go to a cc and try your best to keep up with at least a gpa of 3.5 you will have a sure shot at UCR and maybe for UCSD depending on your major. you will also save a ton of money that way.
who told you that cc students are looser? do you know that transfer students tends to do better than continuing at any UCs? I am a transfer student who got admitted to both UCR and UCSD for fall 2013(engineering schools) and trust me when I say that attending a cc is one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. Most of my professors are also part time professors at UCI, UCR, CSULB and CSUF. My chem prof was from Stanford and my physics prof was from cal-tech. attending a cc, you will also get to keep close relationships with instructors.
it is all up to you though. keep in mind that transfering from a UC to another UC is harder than transferring from a cc. hope you will find the right decision that best suits you!! good luck!!</p>
<p>Ok I will seriously think about it. As a high school senior I applied to UCSD and was rejected so I appealed and was wait listed. Would it make it harder if I applied again as a transfer? I also applied to UCLA UCI UCR and UCB. If I’m planning on applying these as a transfer would it be harder too?</p>
<p>“I’ve always had the feeling that ccc students are thought of as failures. That’s the only reason. Even if I have ap credits it wouldn’t make me eligible?”</p>
<p>Who filled your head with this garbage? This sounds like a classic example of brainwashing. I transferred from a CCC after (8) years in the military, and never once had so much of an inkling that anybody thought I (or any of my classmates) was a failure.</p>
<p>If your parents aren’t footing the bill for college, transferring from a CCC could be a much better option for you in the long run. Like others have mentioned, CCC transfers take priority in the application process. The tuition money saved through the lower division GE classes is another huge (and common sense) benefit.</p>
<p>But on my professional r</p>
<p>Why would you put that on your r</p>
<p>Ok thanks mermaker!</p>
