Okay so I just got wait listed at UCR which honestly sucks because it was my first choice. I also haven’t heard back from CPP; which I’m assuming I will either be rejected or wait listed.
The only colleges I got accepted to right now are:
Cal State San Bernardino (20-30 Mins. & away from the traffic)
Cal State Fullerton (40-1 Hr Mins. & goes towards traffic)
Cal State LA (I can take a train and I’ll be there, but I would have to plan my schedule with the train schedule)
Stats:
3.83 UC Gpa
1530/2400 SAT (Regret not retaking it)
Computer Science
So my question(s) is, which college should I attend? Their prices are similar so the cost is not that big of a deal. However, in terms of the commuting time and the post-college job opportunities I get from each Cal state, which one would be the better option?
Thank you.
job opportunities: Fullerton
If I plan to attend CSUF, should I SIR there and just cut my loses if I happen to get into either CPP or UCR later on in May/June or just fully commit to CSUF?
SIR to Fullerton but you need to know that the schools are aware that the universities have different notification dates, so, you can cancel your SIR to Fullerton when you get into CPP.
You may lose your $100 deposit, if you have to deposit, but that’s something you have to consider.
Give yourself the benefit of the doubt and while you are waiting, assume that you will get into CPP. Good Luck!!
Hopefully CPP comes through with the admission haha. Anyways, do you know if there is a deadline on when we can SIR for Cal states?
Also, do you know what the requirements to transfer into the CS major are if lets says UCR grants me admission under another major?
May 1 is the deadline for all CSU’s to SIR. I second @aunt bea’s recommendation for CSU Fullerton.
