Thanks for your input UCBALUMnus

But I’m not sure what this is supposed to mean -

“then you may also want to consider whether entering as a frosh but completing your degree in fewer than 8 semesters may be financially feasable.”

Oh I guess what you mean is entering as frosh stretches my stay at UCB so the financial picture is not therefore sanguine.

But my question is, is getting in as a freshman easier than getting in as a transfer? I honestly don’t know how much of a chance I’ll stand once I apply as a junior transfer, but I do know that I’ve got an around 2300 SAT and 780 770 760 SAT IIs (USH, math, physics).

I’ve posted this question on the UC transfer forum but I want to ask again. Can I do the following:

Apply as freshman this August (I think the UC schedule is a little different from the Ivy schedule?)
Enter community college this september to finish up two semesters by next May
Do additional 4 APs
admitted to UCB, then transfer my AP credits and CCC units
start UCB, junior year, political economy



I live in Pacific Northwest, but in Vancouver, BC ! (so no Washington)
I noticed that international students may qualify for Regents scholarship as well - and it seems to serve me well if I do get it. How much of a chance do you think I’ll be at least nominated as a candidate? I qualify for…well…at least some financial aid because my parents don’t make that much money, so it’s better for me to shoot for ivies rather than going to a public school like UW or UBC or UCB (if without scholarship)



In regards to the MBA - I don’t know how much of my work experience counts. As I said, I’m a non-traditional student who have run some businesses (and therefore some work exp). I’ve run a tutoring company (hired about 7 ppl), a scarf-selling business, and a little here and there. What I’m concerned about is that these small-business experiences don’t match the big consulting, BB experiences others have.
