Cal Poly
Pros:
Great learn by doing environment
Good job placement and academics
Great environment
Cons:
47k a year would put me in debt significantly.
SDSU
Pros:
Good place in San Diego, and has great school spirit
Decent networking for Business related degrees
Cons:
Out of state isn't cheap (40k a year)
Kind of a party school
UW Bothell
Pros:
Cheaper than my other options and I can reapply to the business school in Seattle.
Familiar environment and not far from home
Cons:
30k a year regardless for a fairly mediocre experience
WSU
Pros:
Cheap (25k per year total cost)
In-state
Cons:
Doesn't offer informatics (my intended major) but does have business programs
Reapplying as a transfer applicant to UW-Seattle
Pros:
It would be cheaper than all my other options
I wouldn't have to wait very long or have to take a very hard course load at all
I could work and save money
Cons:
Its really scary. If i dont go to a school, I am stuck at home for another year while I apply and I cant guarantee I get in.
I currently have almost two years of college credits through a dual enrollment program so I wouldn't be taking many more classes.
If i dont get in at this point, I cant attend a good school period.
General info
Intended Major: Econ or Informatics where available
I know this is kind of a pickle but I appreciate any advice people can offer. Thanks A2C

probably don't do the transfer option
autumn sapphire
forgot to include, im currently waitlist at UW seattle
crimson plover
nice
autumn sapphire
probably don't do the transfer option
how come
crimson plover
you said you would be stuck at home
you can probably transfer from bothell to seattle
autumn sapphire
you can probably transfer from bothell to seattle
difficult process as well
crimson plover
it is
but better than staying at home imo
you are instate, it would not be the hardest
autumn sapphire
i agree. I just need to find a school to commit to while i wait for waitlist options
crimson plover
and its in the same system
autumn sapphire
thats true
crimson plover
looks like the cali schools are too expensive
autumn sapphire
yea just a bit too much
crimson plover
I would not go that way then
autumn sapphire
they are great schools though
autumn sapphire
i agree
crimson plover
I would probably choose UWB or WSU
and try to transfer to seattle
alternatively
CC -> UW - seattle
but that might not be the way most people want
autumn sapphire
i would only have to take one class to qualify for the informatics application
thats it
autumn sapphire
yea my stats are excellent at CC
crimson plover
while normal colleges is 20%
autumn sapphire
they prioritize transfers there
thats why its still an option for me currently
its not an end all be all stanford type transfer
crimson plover
right
I feel like you could take any path except the cali schools imo
debt can hurt a lot
autumn sapphire
yes thats why im even debating it
I know its easy to jump head first into those schools
but i need to have stability moreso than anything
autumn sapphire
eh it wouldve been more painful to complain
crimson plover
lol
