I have worked tremendously for the past 2 years at a local community college. As of right now, I have a 4.0 GPA, extracurricular activities, EMT-B, ex-military, and volunteering.
When I was at the transfer center preparing to apply to the 4 year universities (i’m deciding to forego the associate’s degree route). While I was applying to cal states across california, the majority of students majoring in other fields (business, engineering, liberal arts) advised me to apply to the best 4 year school out there (e.i. : UC berkeley, UCLA, UCSD). However, what they don’t understand is that there are limited prestige 4 year universities that offer the nursing BSN program in the state of California (UCLA and UCI) and that my major is highly impacted, which is why I am applying to cal states.
I’m pretty sure if I majored in a different subject, I’m pretty confident I could potentially be accepted to UC berkeley. From where I’m from, numerous counselors, advisers, professors have said that the cal state system is a joke. But, due to the shortage of nursing instructors, impacted major, and competitive major, is it acceptable to say that you went to a cal state because of those aforementioned reasons?
The reason why I stress about this is that my family asked me “which school will you be attending”? and I responded by saying “cal state long beach” and they looked in disappointment because everyone else in my family went to private school and UC’s. But, how come nobody understands that my major is highly competitive?
