I leave school early, 12:00PM. You can see that I took it really easy this year. I already made my mind up that I am going to CC then transferring. Something you want to inquire about is TAG. This is a program that is available at community colleges that guarantees acceptance into a UC (pretty much all of them). I am looking at UC Santa Cruz, and I'm getting involved in TAG. The only requirement, is that you maintain your GPA above a 3.00 or something like that. It doesn't look like you have a problem in that regard. I have a 4.00 GPA in college so far :D

Oh yeah, I have a regent scholar friend that got accepted to Berkley without much effort, and his schedule is easier than mine in terms of workload, are you a regents scholar?
Nope =/.
Ok, well talk to your counselor about TAG. See where its available. I also heard that once youre in the CSU/UC system, its really easy to transfer between the two.

Yeah, but Schwarb said it's easier to transfer from a community college to a UC rather than a CSU to a UC. And I looked it up, and apparently transfer students from community colleges have priority...

I also had a friend that went from CC to UCLA, and said he got in quite easily.

Ok, well then if you want to take a break your senior year, and go to a UC school, then you can go to a CC then transfer. TAG can help you a lot too :P

Sweet =D

EDIT: I checked it out, but I have automatic admittance to most of those colleges anyways... So it doesn't serve much use to me (Berkeley isn't on that list =/). But thanks for the information =D
