<p>Anyone fit that category on here? Stats? Still pending? Accepted?</p>
<p>How the **** did you manage that?</p>
<p>Yep. CA res, attended a private 4 yr on the east coast for 2 yrs. Still pending…</p>
<p>what are you talking about grimes?</p>
<p>its kind of frustrating to see cc kids with 3.0’s get in and see us probably get rejected with much higher gpas from much harder schools than cc’s</p>
<p>I’m curious as to how you went out of state, still have in-state residency and now you’re trying to transfer back in-state.</p>
<p>And why would you pay 10x more to go to a four year university only to transfer out two years later anyways? Why not just go to a CC right off the bat?</p>
<p>well obviously it was a mistake for me to go out of state, and i never worked so i retained my CA residency, so now i’m trying to come back hopefully.</p>
<p>i didn’t go to cc mainly because of family pressure and crap like that</p>
<p>I thought you have to physically present in the state to retain residency, I can be wrong</p>
<p>boom15: I attended a private university OOS until everything went to ****s in my family, so I’ll be attending a CC soon. ): Probably not relevant to your situation though…</p>
<p>Yep, CA resident my entire life, attended an Ivy League on the East coast for 2 years, applied to UCSD, still pending! 3.4 ish GPA. It is unfortunate that it’s probably easier to get a higher GPA from a CC.</p>
<p>Wait…you have a 3.4 at an Ivy and you want to leave? What Ivy and why do you want to leave (if its personal, feel free not to answer)?</p>
<p>I partially fit into this category. I’m a CA resident, grew up in CA and graduated from a CA high school. </p>
<p>I attended an out of state private university for my 1st year (F 2008 - SP 2009), “achieving” a 2.92 GPA. </p>
<p>Then at the end of last year (May 2009) I decided I didn’t want to stay there, so I moved back to California and decided to enroll at a CC for a year (F 2009 - SP 2010). I notched a 3.77 GPA first semester, and this semester hopefully a 4.0. (Melodie is indeed right, there is so much of a difference in difficult between CC and 4-year! And I called UCSD and they treat the GPA from both CC and private 4-years as if there’s no difference!)</p>
<p>I went to a four-year private university my first semester (I went home due to a family situation and because I didn’t want to rack up a bunch of loans for G.E.). I worked hard and got a 4.0 after taking statistics, two classes for my major and then a fourth class. When I transferred into a community college I found that my classes were just as challenging, not easier. But that’s just my experience…</p>
<p>The one thing that I don’t like is that you don’t really know if each campus is going to actually give you credit for classes from a 4-year.</p>
