I’m a high school senior and I’m getting ready to go to college obviously. I visited my cousin at UPenn last summer and fell in love with the school, specifically Wharton. However, I felt that neither my GPA or SATs or ACT or ECs were good enough for me to get into UPenn so I didn’t bother applying. I applied to several UCs hoping to get a business-type degree. However, after completing the FAFSA and getting disqualified from the Cal Grant, I don’t see how I can afford to go to any UC without taking out a massive amount of loans and debt. So I thought that I should start at a community college, do very well, and try to apply to the UCs again while my brother is in college too so I wouldn’t have to take out too many loans. I also thought that maybe I should try to transfer into Wharton now that I have another opportunity to do better and raise my chances of getting in. However, I saw on the Wharton transfer requirements website thing, Wharton does not accept credit from any community colleges or two-year institutions. So I thought that maybe I should attend my local CSU, CSUSB, and try to transfer. However, I also know that transferring from a CSU to UC is really difficult. So I came to ask is it worth it going to CSUSB and trying to transfer into Wharton or should I forget about getting into Wharton?
