With grades like mine, what university should I aim for?

Transfer Students

<p>CC Transfer</p>

<p>CUM GPA: 2.97</p>

<p>End of Fall 11'</p>

<p>CUM GPA: 3.12</p>

<p>End of Spring 12'</p>

<p>CUM GPA: 3.22 (81 units)</p>

<p>End of Summer 12'</p>

<p>VP and COO of my business club (A friend and I made the club official. We speak with profs from MIT/STANDFORD/USC + small-time business owners + workshops are being developed - we're launching it this Fall, I am very excited.)</p>

<p>Interning at law office.</p>

<p>I'm thinking of starting a philosophy club at my school too. People need more opportunities and incentives to give thought about life, especially at my school.</p>

<p>100+ volunteer hours at Down Syndrome Info Alliance</p>

<p>100+ volunteer hours at Loaves and Fishes (distributing food for those in need)</p>

<p>50+ volunteer hours at Mercy Hospital</p>

<p>For TAG you need a 3.2 by summer - it's possible, if I try hard and pull 6 A's (3un) and 1 B (4un). </p>

<p>Should I apply as a normal transfer student? I want to go to UCI. </p>

<p>Should I take honors courses? I'm scared of the GPA drop.</p>

<p>Thanks for your time and help ;)</p>

<p>What’s your intended major for UCI?</p>

<p>UCI was very competitive this year, lots of students were rejected. TAG is a must! Make sure you fill out the TAG form by the due date.</p>

<p>Don’t bother with honors, it won’t help much. Just be sure to get over a 3.20</p>

<p>I apologize - I would to like to transfer as Philosophy major.</p>

<p>Also, is there a threshold for the amount of units you can complete? I know UCD’s TAG doesn’t allow students to have more than 80 units. Which sucks because UCD has a really good internship program with the capitol.</p>
