I accepted my admission to UCLA biz Econ but idk if I’m down to move to SoCal so I might drop my acceptance what do u guys think? I initially wanted to go to Berkeley for haas but I applied to Econ instead cuz it was too scary and I got rejected even tho my application was very business related I felt like I should’ve gave haas a shot but it’s too late now. And I know so many ppl who r on the UCLA waitlist or wanna go in for biz Econ. I keep feeling like biz Econ at UCLA is average. Any advice??? 🫤

I’m a first gen college student and honestly community college was a lot more confusing than I expected.
When there isn’t someone in your family who has gone through it before, you end up relying heavily on academic counselors to figure out what classes to take and how to stay on track.

When I first started, I even had to build my own academic plan using assist.org because I wasn’t really getting clear transfer guidance from counseling.

Before graduating this spring, I was told I still needed two summer classes to complete one of my certificates. What stood out wasn’t even the classes, it was how late I found out. I wish I had known earlier so I could’ve planned better.

It just made me realize how much impact counselors have on your academic path and how little transparency there is around the process.

Has anyone else experienced something similar in community college or transferring?

So I built this https://ratemycounslor.com
