@Gumbymom Yea, the problem is that I would only be eligible for the TAG program with UCI, since my major is computer science. I don’t find it logical to transfer to a CC just for one school. I will probably try to transfer to other colleges outside of the UC’s anyway so it’s not like I’m screwed if I don’t get into any UC’s. I was just concerned about being at a major disadvantage since I’m not at a CC. Now I’ve realized that I’m really only at a disadvantage for UCI.
In case any of you care. The reason I want to transfer is mainly because I wish to go to grad school and I want to have a real college experience. Currently, I am living at home since I am a local and I am pretty depressed and I don’t really fit in with my school (First world problems, I know). I got into some great schools with great computer science programs (Harvey Mudd and USC to name two) but I just couldn’t afford it. However, I can swallow two years of loans, but I just couldn’t do four. I’m hopeful for that future and if I don’t get in anywhere I guess it isn’t the end of the world.
Thanks.
