Hey everyone,
I’m in a bit of a weird spot and could really use some honest advice.
I didn’t get into the main UCs I was aiming for, so my original plan became going to community college and transferring.
But last minute before the deadline, I accepted my admission to San Jose State as a backup and now I’m second-guessing everything.
Right now I’m torn between:
\- Going to SJSU and just sticking it out there for all 4 years
\- Or going to community college, saving money, and trying to transfer to a UC
My main concerns:
\- Is it actually worth giving up a solid 4-year like SJSU for the transfer route?
\- How realistic is it to transfer into a top UC for engineering?
\- Would starting at SJSU and trying to transfer later be worse than going straight to CC?
\- Am I overthinking this since I already accepted SJSU?
I feel like I rushed the decision just to not lose the option, but now I don’t know what the smarter long-term move is.
Any advice, experiences, or honest opinions would really help.
Thank You
