TRANSFERRING from a UC

avideh · 08-20-05, 04:24 AM

Hi everyone!
I went to UC Santa Barbara for one year (last year). Now I'm looking to transfer to CPP to study Architecture. My question is, how easy/difficult is it to transfer?! Has anyone here transferred? I thought it'd be easy transferring since I'm coming from a UC (3.0 GPA, College of Engineering), but then again the programs are very different. I know they admit community college transfers first, so that's why I'm thinking of going to a community college this year and transferring from there to CPP. Will that be easier than transferring from UCSB?

I'm also concerned about the atmosphere of CPP. UCSB is a VERY social school. I'm not the type of person to go out partying and getting wasted every weekend. But I do like the social + laidback atmosphere. From what I've heard there aren't that many social scenes at CPP. I dont know if it's gonna be a big shock for me coming from SB. Any comments/thoughts on this?

Ooh architecture is a difficult major to transfer into. But you will never know if you qualify or not unless you apply as a transfer student. Give it a shot and let us know how it all went.

Thanks. It's worth giving a try!
