<p>Will taking Band help my chances of transferring at all? I did band all throughout high school too. I was looking up extracurriculars and all that to try to increase my chances of transferring out, but will band help me at all?</p>
<p>Essentially no. Spend all the time you would have devoted to practicing your instrument to studying and getting higher grades, that will help you much more.</p>
<p>UCB seems to be all about the GPA.</p>
<p>You are better off dropping from SJSU and attending a CCC because the UCs take CCC transfers first before all other types of transfers…you are shooting yourself in the foot by taking classes at a CSU when all those kids at the CCC get to stand in front of you when it comes time for transfer… the UCs fill up first with those CCC kids and then, with whatever tiny space might be left for other kinds of transfer students (like CSUs) they take some from the CSUs… but not many.</p>
