<p>ucbalumnus: The young woman I mentioned is applying to dental schools but I don’t know specifically which ones back East. She shared the information with me when she heard my daughter is going directly to UC from high school. She told me she figured she’d save money going to SBCC first, since she knew she was going to be in school for a long time. She now regrets that decision because the schools on the East coast won’t accept her lower division classes. I was surprised because I thought a UCSB diploma is a UCSB diploma, but she said the transcripts are separate, and the East coast schools didn’t consider her lower division classes as meeting the undergraduate requirements. I know she was invited to interview with USC for their program, so I am assuming she did well in her undergraduate studies. I was so surprised to hear it was an issue, which is why I am passing it on.</p>
