My College Knowledge Project
Essential Question: What choices are out there for colleges and universities? What do they have to offer about how you learn and the skills you need to to acquire to be successful?
My Plan is to go to a community college and get my associates degree then transfer to a 4 year College. They have to offer me the right majors and minors for me to take in order to get my degree.

Safety, Fit, and Reach
I think Cal State San Marcos is a Safety school for me because its a good and easy school to transfer to from my community college which is Mira Costa College . Also its really close to home and my family. They offer many majors and classes to choose from. I feel as though Cal State San Marcos is the perfect balance between having a genuine college experience and not being forced to leave home. I feel as though I exceed Cal State San Marcos requirements for students admitted.
Acceptance Rate: 67% Gpa of students Admitted: 3.31 |
I think Cal State Fullerton is my Fit school because I really enjoy the campus! When I visited the campus I seemed to have a really positive experience and I hope that will continue on through out my college experience. All of the work and efforts that I produced seems to align with Cal State Fullerton and there credentials as long as I test as expected on my S.A.T.
Acceptance Rate: 42% Average Gpa of students admitted: 3.53 I think San Diego State University is a good school to for me because I have many family members who have attended and is still close to home. I feel as though my credits from community college will transfer over easily. However the acceptance rate at San Diego State University is significantly lower than Cal State San Marcos. The Gpa of students accepted at San Diego State is also significantly higher than the students accepted at Cal State Fullerton. Attending this university is feasible however there is a few more steps I feel as though I would need to take in order to attend.
Acceptance Rate: 34.2% Gpa of students admitted: 3.75 |
