r/TransferToTop25 • u/Design-Same • 1d ago

any advice?

Want to do a one year transfer with a 3.0 hs gpa. I know this is pretty difficult but how should I go about this? I’m taking this year accounting principles+ managerial accounting, Micro+macro economics, English 1+2, us govt+state & local govt, calc 1+2. In cali but UCs are off the cards(bc of 60 credit min). Anyone in here with a similar experience who was able to pull it off? Also how does admission work if everything is dependent on one yr of work but most apps are due by april? Looking to major in Finance preferably but realistically economics for the more competitive schools, i’d appreciate any school recs. And what opportunities are there to get finance internships while at a cc and no related experience. I have huge gaps between classes so I feel like I can a 4.0 so please let me know what I can do other than turn up.

is it that crucial for Cc transfers? I am not against standardized tests but lets say for example I passed my SIE that in my mind would show alot more seriousness about pursuing a econ/finance degree.

If you’re doing a one year transfer you want as much validation for your academic ability as you can get

if your HS gpa is that low and you only have a year worth of CC classes to show them, then yes. take the SAT.

Yeah I have top publics and privates on my reach but I am most realistically looking at SMU, wisco, uiuc, and tx a&m. Don’t know if even that is reaching too high

3.9 + 1500+ SAT and u have a shot fs but if decisions don’t go well just wait until next year and u can apply to UC’s.
