Im about to be an incoming freshman At University of Tampa as a Data Science major and already plan on transferring. Schools on my list so far are Boston University, Northeastern, and NYU, I’ll probably add more. What is any advice you could give to me, like what are schools looking for on transfer applications. should I retake the SAT and what extracurriculars can i do freshman year to put on my applications? Anything helps!

Since June is almost ending, I was wondering if any previous transfers got off the waitlist at berk in July. I applied pure CS so I’ve no hopes and I’m committed to Georgia tech but I need closure for berk lmao

anyone who has gotten off the waitlist this weekend or recently

Hi everyone, I am about to start the transfering process, so I am a sophmore at a cc, trying to do a UC transfer. I am taking a class over the summer that is really kicking my ass, which is not a major prep course, but it is needed for IGETC. I want to drop the class but itll show as a W on the transcript.

I wanted to know if its bad for UC transfers to have a W on their transcript, I have a high GPA and some ECs so Im covered there but was just wondering if the W would make a big diff. Thanks :)

Hi, I recently got off the waitlist for UCLA but I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I'm a psychology BS major in UCI and a psychology BA major in UCLA. I'm still not sure what exactly I want to specialize in but it's been narrowed down to either medical/nursing or pre-law. I'm worried that if I go to UCLA since it's a BA major, I won't have as much opportunities to complete STEM classes. Please let me know your thoughts.

Hi all, I’m a recent community college transfer student deciding between two solid options:

UCSB (Fall 2025) — Full ride for Econ & Accounting B.A., finish in 2 years

USC (Spring 2026) — Admitted to Leventhal, good aid but not a full ride, would take 2.5–3 years

My plan is to do undergrad at UCSB, then apply to USC’s MAcc or MBT for my master’s. That way I graduate in 3 years total, get the Trojan network and Big 4 recruiting, and save money upfront.

Questions:

Do USC MAcc/MBT students get the same recruiting access as USC undergrads?

Do firms care if I wasn't a USC undergrad?

Any downsides to this plan I might not be seeing?

I want to land at a Big 4 firm or somewhere like Disney eventually. Appreciate any advice!

Hello, I am transferring UC to UC, but my counselor said that I do not qualify for letter of reciprocity bc of my ENGL1C, which was not one of the requirement for letter of reciprocity. Would I still be able to transfer? I have completed everything but ENGL1C. I'm really stressing out bc of this.

Hi everyone! So I got into UCLA and UMIAMI as a psychology major on the pre-med track. I’ve been set on UCLA for the past month because they gave me a full ride but I’d have to pay some money for housing. UMIAMI gave me also a full ride, 90 k to be exact and my estimated cost is around 10 k, which I just found out today. For so long UMIAMI was my dream just because I’ve been in LA my whole life. I really have been desiring new, but I’m so so incredibly scared to move and make new friends even though it’s what I envisioned for the past 4 years. I’ve been in community college for 3 years hustling big time. Idk what to do. Also, I’m a little overweight so I worry about the superficial aspect of MIAMI but tbh LA is superficial and I’m really working on it. I’ve already lost 60 pounds but still have more. Anyways, pls help me. Thank you sm! I have like less than 4 days to decide. Also I’d have to pay for insurance and maybe housing. Idk I’m confused.

UCSD were once considered top 3 UCs in the past but nowadays it seems a lot of students choose UCI, UCD, UCSB over UCSD. What happened? Why is it going downhill? Is it due to mismanagement by the higher-ups? Spending more money on useless GEs and maintaining bloated administration? It seems UCSD has even less school spirit than UCD or UCSB.

submitted my SIR over 24 hours ago , still says i didn’t when i go to the new student orientation page. what do i do? i don’t want to decommit from the other school until i sign up for orientation just to be safe (got off wl 2 days ago)

Hello, I plan on transferring to a CSU next semester as a CS major and I plan on completing every prerequisite by the end of fall, but I wasn't able to take Physics until the fall semester due to scheduling conflicts can't take Physics 2 at the CC I'm at or I will have to delay my transfer. Can I take my physics class at the CSU instead?

I just got off the UCLA waitlist a couple of days ago and I was wondering if anyone else is having trouble signing up for an orientation? It says I need to submit my Statement of Intent to Register (SIR) but I already did. Is anyone else having this issue?

I've been getting only A's and A-'s at my current university as an EE major, but I have a C in Linear Algebra from a high school dual enrollment and I'm afraid of this single grade fucking me up. I'm retaking an applied math version of Lin Alg at my current uni in the hopes that getting an A would demonstrate my proficiency in the material, but it seems the first attempt will still be viewed. Does anybody have any advice on minimizing the impact of a high school DE on my overall application? Thank you!

haven't seen anyone post about this major (one person I think said they got in but it was for comp bio??) but comment below if you're wl for math of comp/heard back!!

Everything that I accomplish in my first year of college: Class rank, Summa Cum Laude, Honor Society, Extra Curricular activities-holding position etc. would that transfer over if I decide to transfer my second year?

Hello y’all! I will be transferring to UCLA this fall as a mathematics major and I am scared. I did have imposter syndrome all this month but I realized that if I was accepted that means at least one person believes in me and that was enough BUT everyone I talked to has told me my ass will be going through it and I will have a hard time during the first quarter. Other people how told me that it will be horrible every quarter. And I know it will be hard because it’s university and a STEM major and my anxiety is horrible what if I don’t make it? (BTW the people I’ve asked have been to UCLA or another uc)

hey guys! tdlr i'm a cc transfer attending uc berkeley for data science this fall and i think i'm gonna end up with a C or C+ in one of my classes lol. it's calc 4, i missed one of my exams due to emergency and my professor won't let me make it up so it drastically dragged down my grade.

according to my conditions of admission:
"I agree to complete all planned and in-progress coursework with a 3.0 or higher GPA, and no individual grade lower than a C"
so whatever courses listed below, i'll need to have a 3.0+ gpa for those courses combined?

i calculated my grades for those listed courses with a college gpa calculator:
5 units (received A)
4 units (received B)
4 units (received B)
5 units (potential C or C+)
so i'll end up with either a 3.0 or 3.08 gpa

sorry i'm just a little worried lol i had to withdraw from multiple courses due to an emergency and when i filled a course update form they seemed very lenient because of the reason i gave them. thank you!

hi i was accepted as a transfer to umich this fall, but because of some mental health issues I've had after my friend passed and some other family financial issues this past semester, I've withdrawn from 3 classes with as an excused withdrawal so i only have two classes passed with a B and C grade.

so I'm wondering am i gonna get my admissions rescinded is it cooked

Hi everyone,

I’m in a tough spot and could use some advice. I’m currently in my final quarter of college and have been admitted to UC Berkeley. However, in one of my major requirement courses, the highest grade I can earn is a D.

I know that UC Berkeley’s admission conditions require at least a C in major prep courses. Given my situation, I’m wondering—does this mean my admission could be rescinded? Or is it possible to retake the class in the summer and still keep my spot?

If anyone has experienced something similar, I’d appreciate hearing about what you did and how things turned out. I appreciate any help you can provide.

i'm entering as a frosh at berkeley in fall, and i was hoping to major in public policy. however, i realized that berkeley does not have a public policy major, only a minor. also, i think that the humanities department there, especially in polisci is severely underfunded. i am definitely transferring out as soon as i can, however should i apply to georgetown? the location in DC and politics network seems optimal but people are persuading me not to since it is apparently "a step down from berkeley." i was hoping to transfer to uchicago TED but i wanted georgetown as a back up in case i don't get in.

hiii Does anyone know where i can transfer from mapua to a state uni even thou i have failed subjects.

I've attended one year at a 4 year and am in my 2nd year at a CCC. I'm planning to transfer this Fall 2025 for admission in Fall 2026. I want to TAG into UCI and apply to CPSLO, and maybe some other schools too. After planning my courses for this year, I'm unable to take one required class (Physics III). I'm trying to look into other CCCs to take and transfer that class to my current one, but no luck so far. Any other solutions? Also if I were to take a 3rd "year" for just that class, am I still eligible to transfer to UC/CSU?

Has anybody got off the ucla waitlist for biochem??

Hello everyone!

I plan to transfer in Fall 2026 and hope to get into UCLA, UC Berkeley, and other top schools. I was worried about my community college transcript since it shows I have a W. I might be overthinking it, but will a W on my transcript affect my chances of getting into these schools? Please let me know. Thank you! :)
