H.S->College->Financing
Just found out all of my admissions for college. Only got into San Francisco State.
I need some advice on whether or not I should go to SFSU or go to a community college and transfer to UC Berkeley.
*Wondering on what is the best thing to do over the summer, find a job, internship, take a class...etc.
def. go to a community college and transfer to UCB, you will save a ton of money. if you need the money go work for the summer. But I'd recommend taking classes over both summer so you can transfer out of CC asap.
I heard it's impossible to get into Haas as a CC transfer
They are right about the transferring into Haas. It is 100x easier to get into if you start there as a freshman. Are you sure that you can even transfer to UC Berkeley? You may be better off going the CC route and then go to a semi target that you would do well at.
Who's paying for your college?
If you're not paying & your parents can afford semi-easily, then I'd say goto SFSU and transfer 2 years in (assuming credits transfer).
The whole experience of going away to college is something not to be discounted as well. If you have the chance to do that over a community college, I would say go for it.
you need to talk to an advisor about transferring to UC schools and what classes you need to take. all i can say is you need to take all your general education courses before you can transfer. I thought there some CC that guaranteed transfer to any UC school or some shit like that? Most people I see end up making it in three years (but they are not the brightest) that is why i suggest that you take summer classes and keep your GPA sky high, competition is still tough with transfer students. Get involved in clubs/orgs. and maybe try to get an internship or something to show interest in transferring to XX school.
Also don't just shoot for UCB, try UCLA, UCSD, UCI, and UCSB, UCD. All are great schools but I would put UCB/UCLA at the top two. Not sure which is semi target or target but I have seen bankers from all schools.
^ UCI and UCSB? bank tellers aren't bankers.
i know a WSOer from ucsb going to an elite boutique. but yeah ucsb and uci > ucsd and ucd. a quick search on linkedin shows that there are a good number of bankers from these UCs. i go to a complete nongaret with close to 0 alumni and consider having atleast 20 alumni to reach out to a god given blessing.
go to my cc. it's in cali and has transfer admission guarantee with csu, uc and cornell
From what I understand, regarding transfer student's admission into Haas, it isn't all that difficult. They inflate the actual admittance rate by including applicants who do not meet the requirements. Provided you meet the requirements you have an excellent shot to get in if your GPA is above a 3.8. Which is what is generally needed to get into Berkeley as a transfer student.
Also do some EC's regarding money, treasurer or something. Get an internship if you can.
The actual admittance rate is ~30%

Also, use http://assist.org, it tells you all the classes you need to take at which community college to transfer into a specific major at a specific UC. You should also look in to Cornell, they also accept community college transfers.
As a note, it's much more difficult to get into Haas if you came to Berkeley as a freshman. Classes are significantly more difficult at Berkeley than they are at community college and you require a ~3.6 to get in. Getting a 3.8 at community college is a lot easier than getting a 3.6 at Berkeley lower division weeder courses.
I don't think Haas lets you stay there for 3 years. They force you to graduate within 2 academic years. The only way to get around this is to take a semester off.
I will try to appeal for Berkeley and wharton, thought this may seem impossible, it never hurts to try.
BB=Bulge Bracket (Morgan Stanley MS, Goldman Saches GS, JP Morgan JPM)
PWM=Private Wealth Management
What is an SA?
If you go to a CC, way easier to get into Haas than the undergrads here.
At CC, it is way easier to get A's and as long as you have A's in courses at CC, it will be fine. Met tons of transfer students in Haas from CC who said they mostly got A's. I think Diablo Vally College? Something like that is known for getting people into Berkeley. So, you should look into that.
You should take classes and do some finance related work like PWM.
Not too sure. haven't met anyone from Berkeley Community College or Alameda at Haas. But I have to say that certain CCs have higher percentage of kids coming to Berkeley in general.
CC (assist.org)->PWM Internship->Haas -> BB SA-> BB FT good luck.
You don't need Haas to get into IBD.
Make sure you actually learn something. You need to know your shit to pass interviews. So study
god this is such a cheap 2nd chance. I almost did this and am shooting myself in the foot for not doing it =/. Actually my parents didn't let me do it - I totally wanted to do it.
do the CC route.
