<p>I am not sure whether I should go to UC riverside or Santa Monica Community College. Which one would be the easiest to transfer from if these are my target transfer schools: </p>
<p>UCLA
USC
NYU</p>
<p>big reaches:
Yale
Columbia</p>
<p>Thanks for all the help!</p>
<p>And, yes I know I am going to transfer if i go to riverside, because they don’t have my major, or a strength in my alternative major.</p>
<p>this might be an odd question, but i have no idea about this. i just found out today that i got into ucr and im not sure what to do.</p>
<p>USC will be easiest for you followed by UCLA and then NYU, this is a broad generalization as it could change based on your major and other things.</p>
<p>For USC and UCLA, SMC will give you slight advantage due to the fact it being a CCC (priority).</p>
<p>For NYU, I suggest UCR.</p>
<p>So, if i decide to apply to east coast schools i should go to ucr instead of smc? And, im applying as a Musical Theatre major to UCLA, do you know if it makes much of a difference if you went to a ccc or ucr. </p>
<p>And, coming from smc or ucr, what would you guess my chances of getting into columbia or yale as a theater major?</p>
<p>oh, and thanks for all the help!</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>like was said, smc for usc or ucla. i don’t know exactly about chances for theater majors at yale or nyu, but i can tell it’s very very low. you’re going to have to be phenominal to get in.</p>
<p>I agree with dhl3–SMC for UCLA and USC, UCR for NYU</p>
<p>Unless you go 3.9 or above and have a 2230+ SAT score, it won’t matter which school you apply from for Yale or Columbia–but I’m guessing that UCR would have a slight preference.</p>
<p>P.S. As a theatre major, you would have a better chance at Yale than at Columbia or NYU Gallatin–everyone who’s a theatre major wants to be in NYC.</p>
<p>^^ya NYC’s like theater mecca. But i love Yale’s theater program. I am thinking about doing the summer session next summer and taking acting classes. Maybe I can get one of my profs to write a rec. If i don’t get in, it would be a great experience to go there, if only for the summer. </p>
<p>“Unless you go 3.9 or above and have a 2230+ SAT score, it won’t matter which school you apply from for Yale or Columbia–but I’m guessing that UCR would have a slight preference.”</p>
<p>Sorry, just to understand. So IF i had a 3.9+ & 2230+ SAT score, coming from a CCC, I could POSSIBLY be admitted to yale or columbia. I’m not getting my hopes up by any means, but I figure if I’m going for theater, and I send in a strong app, I might have a shot? </p>
<p>Let me know if I’m wrong. Thanks for all the help. This is helping me form my own opinion… I’m leaning towards smc, and hoping that by a stroke of luck i make it into Yale or UCLA. I can dream, if only for a moment. </p>
<p>Thanks guys, :D</p>
<p>Yale is actually the toughest admit in transfer admissions (less than a 3% accept rate). Its virtually impossible to get in as a transfer without a hook. Columbia you have a shot if you have incredibly strong academic credentials.</p>
<p>go to SMC
I know sooooo many people who have transffered to UCLA and USC from there
make sure to join Scholars Program
and you’ll be GUARANTEED for UCLA</p>
<p>you’re better off at SMC if you’re gonna transfer to UC’s</p>
<p>im sorry if this is a stupid question, but what do you mean by a hook?</p>
<p>like being a celebrity, winning the nobel prize, curing a disease? </p>
<p>cause… then it is impossible, for me. All I can do is be me, you know? And, im just saying this with honesty, I don’t mean to sound rude if i do.</p>
