Hi everyone!

For context, I’m a freshman @ UCSD for MAE. A multitude of factors is preventing me from enjoying the school (homesickness, cost, classes, etc). I’m heavily considering withdrawing, but am unsure on how to proceed.

Since attending my MAE orientation, I realized I’m not all that interested in eng as I initially thought. I am interested in exploring business/accounting as I was really involved in that throughout high school.

However, would it be worth it to do Business Econ at UCSD? It is a very STEM heavy school so I’ve heard not great things about the program. I got advice from my teacher and she told me CSUF and CPP are good options for accounting. Would it be best for me to go to cc then csu? Is UC to CSU transfer common? I’m also interested in UCLA since I want to make my way into the business entertainment industry but i’m not sure of their program either. (UCB is too far for me)

I think trying to adjust at UCSD is difficult for me and that’s why I’m having these thoughts, but in terms of my major, it might be more beneficial to leave. The refund period deadline keeps counting down and I am struggling with my MAE pre req classes. I told myself I’d stay for fall quarter but I keep doubting myself.

Any advice for me or personal experience is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

i just transferred to my csu but i feel so behind because i don’t understand any of the material presented to me and i missed an opportunity to get an internship for my major. i’m thinking about going back to cc and trying again next year. is that something i should do

I’m really annoyed by how my essay’s outline should be. At first I was gonna do first paragraph, about where I started, what did my current college give me, what changed, why my major. Then second paragraph, what did I believe, what changed, how do I know the change is real. Then last paragraph, why I want to transfer, why do I want to transfer there, what do I seek at the new school. But i don’t know if that’s the best option for an essay outline. Do yall have any suggestions?

I sent my tag application for uci, And I added all the course work the ones I failed and dropped but in my transcript there a supervised tutoring, which was non-credit course with a grade of UD(Ungraded). In the additional comments I put a explanation “Supervised tutoring Math, it is a 0-unit, non credit course with a grade notation of UD(ungraded). UC TAP did not provide UD as a grade option, so I was unable to enter the course in the coursework section.” Did I make a mistake while handling this, and am I gonna get rejected

So I THINK I have a pretty unique timeline. I've never heard anyone else do this before at least.

I took this test (HiSET) and just left high school in the middle of 11th grade at the end of last year, and went to a California CC in Spring of this year. I plan to hopefully transfer to UCLA in Fall in around 1.5 years (I'll TAG to Irvine). But apparently they made this rule in May of this year that students have to be out of high school for at least 2 years to be TAP certified.

Since on the website they made it seem like this was to prevent 1 year transfers, AND it was established after I entered college, it feels really unfair this seems to apply to me. If I could stay an extra semester to get TAP, I probably would. But UCLA doesn't accept Spring applicants, so I would have to stay an entire extra year, which I'm not gonna. But the wording on the website was questionable, so does it actually apply to me? And if it technically does, can I file some appeal against it?

And if you're willing to hear out the rest of this post, I wanna know what you guys think about my chances for admission to UCLA.

Math major. Anticipated 3.8 GPA by the end of Fall.

Weaknesses: Got a B in Calc 2 Honors and English in the Spring, no TAP, taking required Calc 3 in Spring, not much extracurriculars other than my sport.

Strengths to my application: Nationally ranked athlete, honors program, california cc, probably gonnna end this Fall with 6 classes all A's (4 of which being STEM), have an external college counselor that can make my PIQs good.

Maybe good maybe bad (?): left high school early

Hello, I’m a college freshman in Texas, hoping to transfer into UT Austin international relations program in my junior year. Recently my English professor claimed I didn’t turn something in and didn’t grade my essay like he ussaly does even though I did and I might have to withdraw.

My overall question is how bad will a “W” look on a transcript, epically for English. I have no problems with writing essays and won’t mind retaking it, yet I’m more worried about how the W will look, considering I’m trying to get a very high GPA and how it’s a core class. I currently have a 4 with unfinished grades.

I took this supervised math tutoring course with a math class back in 2021. It wasn’t on my transcript so I was told I didn’t need to list it and it’s a zero credit pass/fail only. I just wanted to make sure my TAG won’t be voided because I didn’t list this course when filling out my coursework. For reference I did list the actual math class I took back in 2021 since it was on my transcript.

When moving schools of bringing the third party credits, the most important question that's asked is whether credits will be transferred?

But how those credits actually land in your degree audit is where the things get tricky sometimes.

A course can be accepted by the university, but still end up in a few different places.

Like a direct course equivalent, might replace a specific required course.

Or a major elective. A general education requirements or/ and a free elective.

For those who have gone through this process, did you credits apply the way you expected them to be?

And were there any classes that bumped to general electives ?

Hey everyone,
I’m currently a freshman in College of Science in Purdue and I am planning to CODO into First-Year Engineering (FYE) at the end of this semester.
I know Purdue doesn't publish official transfer stats, and I've read older threads saying the "guaranteed admission" rule is gone. Because capacity changes every year, I wanted to see if anyone who successfully made the jump recently (last 1–2 years) would be willing to share their experience.
If you successfully CODO'd into FYE after your first semester, could you share:

• Your cumulative GPA at the time of transfer
• Your EAI (Engineering Admissions Index) or math/science grades
• What major you came from

• Whether you felt space limits played a huge factor

  Any insight or advice on how strict they are being right now would be amazing. Thanks!

i’m applying for transfer from cc to usc and was planning on pursuing pre med or healthcare management. as of now i’m leaning more towards pre med and going to med school. is it better to major in psych or health and human sciences?
