if you didn't do well in high school or the SATs and still want to get into a
good school then this video is for you what's up man
what's up well what's your name my name is Hudson I'm from Orange County
California and what do you study here I'm at ha
I study Business Administration we were talking a little bit before and you say
you kind of have a unique process of getting in here but it's not unique to
this school because it's a big part of the admission process you can talk about
how you got into UC Berkeley for sure so I'm a junior just transferred in here
but I'm supposed to be a freshman age-wise
so he's a genius yeah here you go we give some good of us in California we
have something called community college system and since we have a lot of UCS
which are public universities the state requires them to accept transfers so if
you like graduate high school you don't really get into good colleges you can go
to CC or Community College study for like one or two years that are getting
associates and then you can transfer to any you see you have to get accepted of
course but there's really high admission rates at these UCI's because they need
the transfer students first like somewhere at Harvard for example I think
like 11 kids get accepted a year it's like crazy whoa first I think Berkeley
has somewhere like around 5,000 this is a lot that's like a whole school year at
Fisher what are the grades you need in
Community College to get into a good school like this so honestly Oh
California set it up really well there's a site called assist.org you can go to
that site put in the major you want the school you want
like literally I knew exactly what classes I needed to take and all I had
to do is just get the best grades possible and I will say you don't need a
four oh I personally had a four oh but I know so many people that were in the
summer program with me that had anywhere from like a 3/4 to like a 3/7 like
grades are not everything especially for this halls major like you need the
extracurriculars and professional experience I think more so than the
grades first like for an econ agree I think it's all about the grades because
like sure they still carry extra clickers but I've heard at some of these
UCS they don't even read your essay question really just look at your GPA
and you finish the prereqs all these schools
especially for transfers complete different for high school it's
completely different but for transfers it's all about finishing the
prerequisite coursework so it's like taking econ one and Chu taking the calc
sequence and taking your English all that's required before you can even
transfer that actually sounds like I wouldn't say it's easier in terms of the
amount of work you need to put in but it's more guarantee that you can get yet
because yeah like yeah so path right you just need to complete step by step the
hardest part is just kind of like navigating through CC because I know a
lot of my friends like the counselors there don't even know what they're doing
like I would ask them questions and they wouldn't even know the answer so a lot
of days just figuring out on your own like for example check
ratemyprofessor.com do not take a teacher there without checking that site
and i will say like there's some really big loopholes at CC like i took most of
my classes online that's how i finished in a year and like I took I think 40
units in one semester well because in California you can go sign up at another
CC like a crosstown take units there and taking us at your home CC it's so gonna
be you just did it all in your dorm room or my mom still cooking me dinner where
did you find out about this okay so honestly my brother was kind of a potato
in high school and a family friend reached out and was like hey you know
you can do this ec thing and get to a good school like all your friends are
going to he's like okay but so he like dropped out sophomore year cuz in
California you can take a test called the chess B that's what I took and it's
basically like a diploma equivalency for high school so he took that test dropped
out went to CC and he was actually at UCLA when he was 16 so Wow
he graduate when he was 18 so you guys aren't necessarily geniuses but you know
how to navigate the system exactly thank you I'm so glad I found you because now
they can get into the top UC schools exactly and apply to the privates I got
some privates I would never guess I would get into like what slight flex but
I got into Cornell and Georgetown both of which have like ridiculously low
acceptance rates it's honestly a crapshoot I got denied from like 20
schools and gotten to those two honestly take the shotgun approach apply to a
bunch and I stays matter a ton what do you say is gonna help you with us is
honestly time like once you start working some of the opps you're gonna
notice a lot of them are similar so I would use like the same well I'm about
to drop some knowledge right now oh yo I'm ready they're ready too

different class different professor different club oh and throw in like oh

knowledge pieces oh hey Georgetown I said walking the class making sure to
