Transfer Students
1

<p>hey im having a hard time deciding what school i want to transfer to. i wont be transfering for another year, but i dont want to end up wating till the last minute. im most likely going to be a mechanical engineering major so a school with a fair amount of research projects/opportunities would be great, i like the small town/college town type of cities, i love outdoor activities, and i would really like the school i go to to have a pretty decent party scene.</p>

<p>these are the schools im looking at so far:
CU boulder
washington state- pullman
uc davis
cal poly slo
oregon state
sdsu</p>

<p>o ok, well iv only just finished my first semester but i think i got a 4.0, im still waiting on 1 grade.</p>

<p>HS stats (do they even look at these if im transferring after 2 years?)
3.3 gpa
~1700 SAT
24 ACT</p>

<p>HS stats are going to be the biggest factor in your admissions if your going to be applying in the first couple years of college</p>

<p>what college are you at now? what are your ec's?</p>

<p>im at a community college in CA. i dont really have any ec's, in HS i was 4 year varsity swimmer, but i dont think im going to continue to swim. iv got a job for during the winter break, but other than that iv had a hard time finding a job for the rest of the year. iv been calling around looking for summer internships, but i havent found any really. IDK if i would even qualify anyways, so far i havent really taken any ENG classes.</p>

<p>If you can keep a 4.0 up for three more semesters you should apply to Berkeley/LA/SD. They won't look at high school transcripts or SAT scores, they're a great bargain if you're in-state, and as a CC student you'll have a higher chance of getting in than someone from another UC or CSU.</p>

<p>hmm...maybe SD, but idk if i would like berkely or ucla. i would hate living in LA. Berkeley...idk, i liked sf when i visited but idk if i would want to live there. i really like outdoor activities more than city life. also i think id be able to get a better gpa at some of the other schools, and i want to go to grad school.</p>
