Cal State San Marcos
GPA: 3.27 SAT: 1030
CSUSM is my safety school because I can easily get my GPA to a 3.27 in senior year. Also their SAT scores are very attainable. |
Arizona State University
GPA: 3.42 SAT:1210
ASU is my fit school because I could definitely get my GPA up to a 3.42 by taking honors questions and if I hit my target score on my SAT than I could definitely get in here, And they have Air force ROTC. |
Cal Poly Slo
GPA: 3.92 SAT: 1220
Cal Poly SLO is my reach school because the GPA is a reach for me, I would need to push myself really hard to get A’s in all my classes senior year and probably take some honors. I am taking the SAT in June and I hope to get a 1250. I think that this schools learn by doing moto would work really well for me. |
Essential question and interview
How did transferring out of a community college after two years help you? What education skills are needed and beneficial to succeed in topics of study at the university level and in careers that you deem engaging and worthwhile? Organization and note taking are what i think the best education skills that you can bring into college because you will always need to be organized with you work and where you are putting things so you don't lose them and note taking is also the most important skill to have because you will have to take lots of notes in almost all of your classes. These two skills will be very essential to me with mechanical engineering because i will need to take notes on how things are built and what parts to something do and the organizing will be needed because if I am working in a mechanic shop i will need to be organized where all of the parts are to something so that I don't lose anything. " Transferring out of a community college made it gave me a better chance to get into a better 4 year college than i previously had when i graduated high school, because it let me improve my grades and test scores and helped me find out what I did and didn't want to get a degree in," |
