Where to appy and what are my chances as a soph? I got to get out of my school!

Transfer Students

<p>Hey everyone, first time poster, long long time reader.
So here is my situation...
I go to Chico state and I just hate it. It is not the school for me. It was my last pick, but I didn’t get into the arch program at Oregon or Hawaii. So I just picked there because I didn’t know what to major in anymore and it was just a cheap, safe pick. I thought I would just go there and get my GE done for little money, without having to go to a Jr.C, and transfer if I really didn’t like it. Which I don’t.</p>

<p>Ok so I didn’t have good grades in high school, hence Chico.
HS GPA: 2.9 (from the #1 district in the state, at the best HS in the district)
SAT:
CR - 550
Math - 580
W - 470</p>

<p>College GPA
(Keep in mind that this is only one semester)
3.1 - 15 units + 1 unit of bowling :)</p>

<p>Next semester I am taking 17 units and they are
PRINCIPLES OF MICRO ANALYSIS - 103
FINITE MATH - 107
ARCHAEOLOGY & THE BIBLE - 222
POLOTICS OF 3rd WORLD NATIONS - 102
HUMAN SEXUALITY - 265
Plus two, one unit sport classes</p>

<p>I also plan on taking two classes this summer at my local CC just to kinda get some stuff out of the way</p>

<p>this would all bring me up to 39 credits total!</p>

<p>So this is my problem. Mediocre grade, second year transfer, and I don’t know where</p>

<p>These are my ideas so far</p>

<p>1) University of Oregon
(This time I would go even if it wasn’t for arch, but you never know maybe I could transfer into that major later on)
Also, if you send in your app and you have 26+ credits they don’t even look at you HS work, only college</p>

<p>2) UC Davis
This may be a looooonng shot, but do take second year transfers. But they really take priority of CC students</p>

<p>SO THIS IS WHAT I NEED HELP WITH
- could I get in??
-where else to look??
-what school don’t look at HS work??
-what school are really transfer friendly
-what schools take second year transfers</p>

<p>I don’t know my major yet, maybe buss? I’d pick anything to be honest if it helped me get in :/</p>

<p>o ya, and if I have to, I could spend another year at Chico. I wouldn’t want to, but I would much rather do that then go back home to a CC.</p>

<p>You need to think about the long term. While you may not want to go to a CC, it’s probably your best shot to bite the bullet so you can graduate from a good college. If you can do well for a year at a CC, you may get into Davis or another mid tier UC. Why would they take a 3.1 from Chico?</p>

<p>Who knows, Oregon may take you, but it’s not as good as a mid level UC.</p>
