Where can I get in?

Transfer Students
1

<p>I am a freshman at the University of Oregon and I want to transfer back home to a school in the Bay Area. I am majoring in sports business, but I might get just a normal business degree as an undergrad and then go back to U of O for a sports marketing MBA. I also want to take some journalism classes becaue I want to combine sports business with sports journalism if possible. Maybe PR.</p>

<p>I didnt do too well in high school (didn't try at all) and had a 3.05 gpa but did pretty well on the SAT -- 1900. I have done much better in college, posting a 3.61 and should improve on that this term. </p>

<p>My EC's are pretty good - Sports Editor of high school paper 3 years, wrote for a reputable local daily paper as a sports reporter covering high school football and basketball (25+ published articles), worked part-time on and off for the past few years, now I umpire little league, worked on a project with a U of O sports marketing grad student about sustainable energy in the 4 major sports, and it might get published in ESPN or Sports Business Journal. I'm in the sports business club, 4 years baseball in HS, 2 years basketball, including captain for one. I'm going to be interning for a professional sports franchise this summer, just to get my feet wet in the world of pro sports.</p>

<p>I think I am too late to go anywhere for fall term of '09, so this is probably for '10. The schools I am looking at are Cal and Stanford, possibly Santa Clara, and possibly USC and UCLA. How do my chances look for getting into those schools and what could I do to improve my stock over the upcoming year?</p>

<p>Stanford is out. Cal more than likely too.</p>

3

<p>Upon looking further into it, Santa Clara may be the only one on your list that you can get into. I would expand your search.</p>

<p>What’s Cal?</p>

5

<p>wow. Cal = UCB = UC Berkeley</p>

6

<p>k-b - you’re an out of state student so Cal and UCLA are out for transferring since priority is given to California Community College students, CSU’s, and UC’s. Stanford has admissions averages out of your range as well, so that’s definantly out. Also USC Marshall is selective and has an average of 3.8 GPA for accepted students whom mainly come from California Community College (68%), so that’s out too.</p>

<p>The only thing in your range is most likely Santa Clara.</p>

<p>no i live in california but i went out of state to the U of O. I live just south of San Francisco.</p>

8

<p>I think that you could have a shot at UCLA and USC… stanford is out unless you are a extremely tremendous writer :P</p>

9

<p>Even though you live in California, the last college determines your region of transfer. Meaning that since you’re transferring from University of Oregon, you’re declared an out of state transfer.</p>

10

<p>Good Point. Overlooked that fact. Is this the same for all states?</p>

<p>Somewhere2012 - Most likely it is.</p>
