Upcoming senior, need help choosing colleges!

<p>How about Cal Poly Pomona? </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>SLO uses a point system for admission (and is different from the other CSU’s in that they require freshman year grades). Extracurricular points range from 1-10%. My son just completed his freshman year at SLO and when he filled out the application, it allowed 4 lines for extracurriculars. He managed to squeeze in those four lines to list work experience, high school & club sports, volunteering and leaderships in clubs. All info listed was very brief, no extra details. </p>

<p>Cal Poly Pomona admission is similar to the other CSU’s (and no extracurriculars are listed on the application ). </p>

<p>Don’t sell yourself short. Apply to all the UCs as well as Poly SLO.
Transferring from CC is also a possible path. Don’t all the UCs except Cal and UCLA have guaranteed pathways for CC transfers?</p>

<p>I know & I will. The only problem with SLO for me is they don’t offer AFROTC not even cross-town only ArmyROTC. I considered transferring from a CC but my parents aren’t really educated when it comes to colleges (that is they don’t know the different paths.) All they hear is “Berkeley or Standford” so I won’t gain their support but it’s certainly still an option if I do not make it into a UC. I don’t know too much about the CC path but is it basically 2 years + transfer to 4 years so 6 years total assuming you passed all the necessary courses?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Oh, no! It’s 2 years at a community college (completing a minimum of 60 units) and completing the next two years at a 4-year uni. Total should be 4 years. (However, If all classes don’t transfer it can take longer). CC’s have articulation agreements (with publics and privates) and TAG agreements (with the UC’s) which can guarantee admission. They also have AA-T majors with the CSU’s which, when completed, guarantee completion of the two undergrad years (and you won’t have to take any undergrad classes when transferring to a CSU). </p>
