All B’s and 2 A’s junior year compared to straight A’s sophomore year. Will this even get me into a UC? My grades just spiraled down and it’s left at that. I felt depressed throughout junior year for some personal reasons but I doubt that’s an excuse compared to others who have straight A’s. My dream school WAS ucla… I’m thinking of transferring from a Cal State. Or staying at a Cal State. Not sure, but my dream job is to be an optometrist which I don’t think it matters which undergraduate school you go to.

However, I heard that most Cal Sates are commuter schools and that they are “dead on the weekends.” This is NOT cool This is why I don’t want to go to UCI even if I got in. (sorry uci) This is also why I do not want to transfer from a community college. I’d rather not stay home, but I’d rather not be at on a dead campus on the weekends either. I think dorming is part of the experience. Which Cal States are known for their social scene? Which are NOT considered commuter schools?

I’m also thinking about UCR after hearing about their GAP program. Can someone explain this program to me? I’d have a 3.9 by the end of this semester. It says that the minimum requirement is a 3.9 weighted. However, my grades went in a downward spiral… :[ So does this mean that I’m guaranteed admission because I have a 3.9 weighted? Why is it only UCR that has this program? Is it because they want to make sure who really wants to go to UCR?
