Location/Region: I'm looking into colleges in California (mainly SoCal), and I also would be open to out-of-state colleges (i.e colleges in Massachusetts, New York, Washington and Chicago).
Major: Business, Economics, and Mathematics (I am working towards an associates for transfer for all 3 majors to broaden my choices for colleges to apply to)
GPA/Test Scores (optional): unsure if this is relevant, but I got an 1100 on my SAT in high school about 3 years ago... also my current GPA is 3.25 BUT I'm doing very well this semester and I predict my GPA will be around 3.5-3.6 by the end of this semester.
Curriculum: Rigorous
Size: No preference, any size is nice!
Costs: I have not been eligible for financial aid, so I will most likely take out loans + apply for scholarships. I am also thinking of getting job/work-study to save up.
**Schools you're currently looking at (if any): **I am thinking of TAG-ing to UCI for quantitative economics. I am interested in UCs in Southern California (UCSD, UCR, UCLA and UCI). I also want to apply out-of-state to east coast colleges, but I am not that knowledgeable of colleges on that side.
Additional: I would be interested in colleges that don't really require as much driving/have close amenities (i.e stores/food/places nearby). I am good with commuting/using public transportation! I also would be interested in a college that has a student orchestra/jazz band.

you can TAG to Santa Clara University

UNC Chapel Hill is decent yeah

#

but for oos transfer it could be less friendly

sage elk Mar 30, 2022, 4:55 AM

#

yeah, idk anything abt transfer stats

boreal coyote Mar 30, 2022, 4:56 AM

#

assuming you're a community college transfer, it's important to select only transfer friendly institutions like USC which have 33% of the population as transfers

#

also their transfer rate is around 30%

#

Pomona College is also good but not transfer friendly

I was thinking of USC but the transfer agreements are different than IGETC and most of my classes I’ve taken/planned to take don’t fall in line with the USC transfer agreement 🥲

#

And if I really wanted to do that I would have to stay another year just to accommodate those classes

I hope so too… I’m in my honors transfer program right now and they do have an agreement with UCI Honors but my GPA is low for that cause it’s 3.7 for the guarantee

#

But I’m hoping this semester plus summer and fall will boost up my GPA

Yeah if you fill out your TAG app you are guaranteed admission to at least one UC

Their gpa requirement is 3.4 though so you need to make sure that your gpa raises
