<p>I've been having a lot of anxiety lately about where I should transfer to and what I should major in. I currently go to community college in socal where I'm majoring in business and have a 3.9 GPA as well as honors. I've been doing really well at my school but I think it's mainly because of how easy most of the classes are compared to high school (I've never pulled an all nighter or been required to study abnormally hard for my grades). In high school I had around a 3.5 GPA and did pretty badly in some science and math classes in junior year because I rarely studied. I realize that that was a stupid mistake but I'm really worried that I won't be able to do well at a university because I'm not really sure what I want to do for a career. For next fall I applied to Cal Poly SLO for business administration, ucla for biz/econ (which i hear is really hard and a lot of people switch to econ), and ucsb for economics. As far as campus preferences go, all the campuses seem nice but I definitely liked cal poly the most. UCLA seemed alright but a little to city-like for me. </p>

<p>As far as interests go I think the most interesting classes I've taken are psychology and sociology but I don't want to be a psychologist or choose a major that will make finding a job difficult. I originally chose business because it seemed interesting and I know I don't want to do anything medical or with law. Sorry for all the writing but I'm really really worried about my future, any advice is greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>well assuming youve already sent out applications, then i think its safe to assume you have a good amount of units. </p>

<p>if you are unsure about what major you wish to pursue, then i would choose a school that offers the most and the best of each kind. if it were me, id choose UCLA, because no matter what major i end up falling back on…UCLA will be a powerhouse for almost any major. have u talked to your parents? friends? counselors? </p>

<p>u already know what you dont want. medical/law. so that eliminates a lot of sciences and humanities. have you considered engineering? </p>

<p>btw i think if you get accepted into UC’s they generally dont let you change your major, and its difficult if you choose too.</p>
