Hi,
I’m in my second year of CCC with a 3.76 GPA. I recently declared my major to nursing and I’m hoping to transfer to UCLA. I need to stay one more year since most of the prerequisites are 5 units and I just started taking my science classes in summer12. I just have to take English 2 and I’m done with my IGETC. I’m also in the scholars program which allows me to apply to TAP but guess it doesn’t matter since it doesnt refer to nursing.
So my questions are:


does it look bad if im not a full time student? I’m taking calculus based physics general chem and another IGETC class. I’m thinking about dropping my physics since I have a C in that class and I’m not so sure if I can raise it to a B, and also I don’t need this class for nursing major. My problem is if I drop it, I’ll get a W and I won’t be a full time student. It will be my first W so I’m not so worried about that.
Only 2 students from my CCC got accepted to UCLA nursing… so it’s VERY competitive. My friend said I could apply for a different major like, Asian studies (seems like easy to get into…) and then change after getting accepted to UCLA? is that even possible? don’t i have to apply separately to the school of nursing anyways?
If UCLA is too high of a reach, then what other universities do you recommend that are in CA with GOOD undergrad nursing programs?


Thanks!
