Hey everybody,
I’m currently going to community college in Minneapolis and I’m trying to decide which school to transfer to. I’ve been wait listed from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities twice(although I think the fact I went to hs in India and then took a year off from school during the times that I applied might have something to do with it) so I’m a bit paranoid I won’t get in when I apply for transfer this time but I’m fairly positive I’ll get into the Duluth campus- its acceptance rate is much higher.
I will have taken about 80 credits in my two years of community college(summers included) and my grades are about 50/50 A’s and B’s except for a History class which I got a C in. I was able to do an internship as a programmer at a startup during my freshman year and I’m part of an honor society- phi theta kappa(i don’t know if this even matters).
However, I’m wondering if in terms of job opportunities there is a difference between the two campuses? Is there a much higher chance that I will be making more money graduating with a fairly good GPA from the Twin Cities campus compared to the Duluth campus.
My plan if I don’t get into the Twin Cities campus is to double major in CS and either EE or Physics (all of which I’m highly interested in), try to keep a high GPA and try to transfer to a better school for my Masters.
Any insight or advice(I’m feeling a bit down and worried about my future)? Does anyone have any suggestions for any other good universities that would be in the range of where I could get into?
Thank you in advance guys!
