Thanks for the response!
- Well, if that's case then I think I have a pretty high chance to succeed in the class since I never slack off and I always try my best regardless of class. However, I did work pretty hard in my calculus classes at CC and I was still never really able to do well. Is Econ 10A like that? The thing is that like a lot of people tell you if you work hard you're guaranteed to do well. And I kind of have to disagree with that saying. Like I know you need to work hard to do well and that's necessary. But even then, that still doesn't guarantee that you'll do well but it does increase your chances of doing well. Not to sound like a downer, but that's just my belief. I probably work as hard as a 4.0 student and I still don't have a gpa like or around that. I'm not the best test taker either, but I mean I guess i'm okay.
-About Accounting, it’s not like I hate it but I’m not that interested in it either. I have taken introductory accounting classes and they were just formulas and numbers. However, I wasn’t like I was bored to death by it. And in the UCSB econ/acct major there are like I believe 7 acct classes I need to take which won’t be too bad for me. And I scored high in my intro acct classes too. Another thing that I like about UCSB is that the big 4 recruit heavily there and I did a thing with PwC and I liked the company so i mean idk, I might want to work there. And even If I transfer to Davis, I would like to do like 2 accounting classes there. It’s good to know.
-I won’t know what I want to do as a career until maybe next year. Not now for sure. And that’s also another thing I don’t like about UCSB. There are no big cities or big firms nearby, so while I’m at school I’m not sure if I can do stuff like internships, attend conferences, or do job shadows. I really need to figure that out soon.
- So see that's what I think the problem is. Education wise, I can't go wrong with either UCD, UCSB, or UCI. They all have their pros and cons. And the reason why I want to go to UCSB is because I like the whole vibe and campus. Like i'm not targeting any academic reason that stands out. If I were really into accounting or something,I think I would for sure take it over UCI & UCD, but I'm not. And first and foremost education is my #1 priority though. So in other words, the problem is like I'm taking this risk just to get that "social experience' that UCSB has. Would you say it's worth it in all honesty based on what I have said here?
