Decision Help

VinceSez · 09-13-04, 10:33 PM

Do you guys think I will be able to make it into Cal Poly, SLO with a 4.0 GPA, 1200 SAT? I'm currently out of state, but I plan to attend Cal Poly SLO. I'm currently involved in NHS, and Key Club.

Also, I was wondering if it is possible if I could attend UNLV for 1 year to spend my state $10,000 scholarship, and then transfer to Cal Poly SLO my sophmore year in college.

Thanks in advance

First off, use the appropriate forum (Network and not Introduction).

If I was in your shoes, I would not be worried. I would choose the UNLV route as it is an economical decision. Save money for yourself and your parents. UNLV is one of the top university for Hotel & Restaurant Management so it has a very good reputation. Maintain a good GPA and you shouldn't have a difficulty transferring to Cal Poly SLO after a year or two. Good luck. And why not apply to both university and tell us your result.

lol

I don't plan on majoring in hotel management, I plan on majoring in Computer Engineering. The reason why I chose Cal Poly as my top priority was because I heard it was one of the top schools in the nation. UNLV is just a safety, just in case I dont' get accepted into Cal Poly.

What grade are you in high school?
If you're 16, you should be in either sophomore or a junior.

VinceSez · 09-20-04, 11:12 PM

I'm a senior in high school. I just started kindergarten when I was 5, which is why I'm a 16 year old senior.

I say you should stay like one more year to enjoy your life...

Can't agree more.

See whether your school will let you stay one more year so that you can be a super senior and all underclass high school students will start looking up to you.

Seriously, there's really no need to rush through the education process. There are more that you learn from the experience in your life.

i don't know what you are going to get out of hanging around high school for another year. what will you learn that you don't already neeed? maybe if you live in vegas go to your local school for a year as you say, that's okay as a transition away from home. but nevada schools are pretty weak academically. cal poly slo is a bit higher ranked than pomona but both have incredibly strong engineering programs. i go to pomona and the real reason is that here you get all those internships while you are still in school. what do you have near slo...nice views and not much more.

If you started kindergarten at the age of 5, wouldn't that mean that you are now 17? From the beginning of kindergarten to beginning 12th grade is 12 years. 5 plus 12 is 17.

Yes, but one starts kindergarten during September. That would mean that he started kindergarten at the age of 4, not 5. 16 minus 12 is 4.

VinceSez · 09-26-04, 09:57 PM

To wrap things up, I'm going to graduate when I'm 17 because my birthday is in November.... END... lol

So you started kindergarten after November?

Mike · 09-26-04, 11:44 PM

I'd get a headstart. High school is for losers.

College is where you ought to be.

It is not a "big deal", but it does mean that you were 4 years old during kindergarten unless you skipped a grade.
