<p>I want to transfer to UC Berkeley and I've decided what I want to do while in Community College</p>
<p>I have only taken Mass Comm worth 3 units while currently finishing high school.</p>
<p>Join the following clubs:
Kappa Gamaa Sigma (Honors club)- Need to finish 12 units first
Scholars Program (Honors Classes)- Need to finish 12 units first
Student Government (School Body)- Need to get elected, but don't know people at the school.
Armenian Club- Joining it because I am Armenian</p>
<p>With those I want experience for Haas school of business
So as a job- Bank of America</p>
<p>So basically working, taking honors classes, and being involved with clubs.</p>
<p>If I was a 3.0 student in high school (Lack of interest back then), can I maintain a 4.0 with all this work?</p>
<p>If you do not think I can let me know what I should cancel.</p>
<p>It really varies too much to say, but starting out you probably feel pretty confident. CC isn’t hard, but keep in mind that you won’t get as many buffer points as there were in high school. An A there might have meant a B test average and A homework, but at a CC it’ll have to be an A test average. Other than that, make sure you use ratemyprofessors.com . A good prof makes a world of difference. </p>
<p>Lots have people work/are involved in clubs/do well. There’s no reason you can’t too.</p>
<p>Do you mean Alpha Gamma Sigma? If you do, then yes AGS is a good idea for CC, it’s one of the only clubs that show up on your official transcript. Bank of America alone will not totally work in your favor, but it will help. If you can, consider a business more specialized in finance-transactions like a Real Estate company or Stock-Broker, even if it is just temporarily interning for little/no pay.</p>
<p>I am assuming your end goal is to attend Haas, so look into completing the TAP Program (Transfer Alliance Project) and completing your IGETC (Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum). Completing your IGETC satisfies the requirement for your AA Degree. I guess some guidelines say you shouldn’t strictly follow IGETC for Haas, but you want the all the weight shifted to your favor.</p>
<p>So I was a 2.6 student in high-school… and I have a 3.9 now in CCC. High school was a joke, especially if you went to Hoover or GHS (I’m just assuming you’re from Glendale like me hahah). Just make sure you take care of your business at CCC so you can be out within two years, not three. You seem to have the ambition to succeed and a plan to do it, so that alone shows you’re ahead of the curve.</p>
<p>yeah you even know more than the cc counselors sometimes and they do lead you atray with some of the cources you take. When i had freshman orientation before my first semester at a cc, the person who gave the orienation just have us the igetc paper and said so yeah for the csu there is csun, and for the ucs where is ucla, and that’s all he pretty much said. Then he went around and asked each person what class they wanted or were interested in taking. So when he got to me i said i was really confused on this whole thing and he jist recommended i sign up for all the non transferable counseling classes. I know someone that likes to say that a particular cc tries
to deliberately sabotage you into staying longer so they can get money, i sort of agree with them with what happened in my situation.</p>
<p>I’ve never relied on my counselors. Everything is easy to figure out once you do some digging. Classes, EC, transferring process–I did all that on my own. It’s cake.</p>
<p>AirArlen: It’s possible to tackle on all those clubs while going to a CC, but keep in mind that the main focus is on GPA, grade trend, prereq’s and IGETC/GE for transfer students.</p>
<p>In my opinion, work and GPA is the bread and butter. It’s the golden ticket to the chocolate factory. Add a dash of Honors society and you’re untouchable.</p>
<p>I think the only thing that you need to worry about is time and commute.</p>
<p>my school is actually recruiting their top students to be peer counselors. i got a phone call and one of my professors asked me to do it as a personal favor. but they don’t need to prod me, i’ll be glad to save some poor sap from listening to the counselors.</p>
<p>AirArlen — have faith. I was a crappy HS student and now I’m doing really well. Just give your all and always have that nagging fear of utter failure in the back of your mind. I’m sure you’ll do great! =) best of luck!</p>
