3 more semesters of this and I'll be so psyched!! :D
Also, trying to remove one bad grade from my time at SRJC... Wish me luck!
Check out this new help blog for anyone applying to UC and CSUs for all the info on 'two' "sites." Especially since assist.org has failed me. I will be adding a lot and hopefully will finish in two weeks time! <3

Other Colleges
So I can't base all of my dreams on ONLY San Diego state, I have to have back-ups. So far the colleges that offer similar majors to the ISCOR major at sdsu are:
Of course there are international relations majors at ton of colleges so I shall be applying to those as well but in CA the closest majors to ISCOR (which is the only of its kind in CA):
Henley-Putnam University in San José: Intelligence Management, Terrorism and Counterterrorism studies, management of personal protection. They offer master's in all three as well and a doctorate in Strategic Security.
National University in La Jolla: BS in Homeland Security and Emergency Management
They have similar homeland security programs at Maritime, Fresno, Long Beach, LA, Monterey Bay, Sac and San Bernardino (they also have cyber security there too), San José, SF.
*None of these are really like ISCOR. They focus on intelligence and security more which is a disappointment and WHY I really want to get into SDSU!*
Not so far away is also the Justice Institute of British Columbia and colleges in WA and OR.
Colleges I have not glanced at: Rio Honda College, Santa Monica College
I know that at Northridge: Information systems, Languages and Culture, Linguistics and Political Science are offered. A double major in two of these and minors would not be terribly off from ISCOR.
All of these 4 majors are offered at many universities.
Basically, my plan is to apply to a lot of the CSUs and Henley-Putnam. I don't want a homeland security degree. I do not plan on staying in the US nor do I exactly plan on doing homeland security. It could happen but I'd prefer a more wide-ranging degree.

Semester 1 at CC: LMC
So I have most of my grades, well all but one, in! Drum Roll!! ALL A's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am starting to make up for a bit of SOU and mostly for SRJC... :( I've signed up for my Spring courses. I have made a deal with my lovely parents, I am not working Spring semester... I am also taking 21 units, which I have to get permission before I am taken off the waitlist for stats, because anything over 18 is a permission-based thing. So I NEED all the units so I have to get permission! Other than that I will be taking: STATS, Comparative Religions, California history, Modern World History, French 1 (I took 1-3 in HS but this is college level so it is probably French 1 and 2 combined! Haha), and Physical Geography.
I am working towards junior status when my hopeful dream of attending SDSU for the ISCOR major shall happen!! So this will be a bit geared towards that but, no worries, I shall speak about the total experience of transferring as well. My goal is Fall 2015, so 3 semesters from now BUT I apply in October 2014, so it is not as far away as it seems. I have also figured that if I get all A's through spring 2015, I will end up with about a 3.6 GPA overall. Which would be super swell! I also have 3 AP tests under my belt from HS, a fairly decent SAT score (about 1750) and I'd have taken all of the pre-reqs except ISCOR courses for the major. Currently it isn't IMPACTED either so I am holding high hopes!! :)

College Thus Far and 4.0 ???
Hi there,
I am just here to talk about being a transfer student and my college experience. I started at just-turned 18 at SOU. I attended there for a year and my total GPA there was 2.93 and 48 quarter units. I didn't do my best by far but the depression I suffered worsened my sophomore year when I moved home to Cali to attend SRJC. There I got a 2.2, with 10 semester units, with one C, one F (didn't drop the class in time) and one A. I took a semester off, moved back in with my parents and now I am going to the CC there. Right now I know I have 4 As out of my 5 classes (semester and 14 units. I am taking 21 next semester. ah! lol). I'm waiting on the fifth and praying for an A!! It was especially amazing that after failing Alg 2 and getting a C and D in HS in Alg 2, I finally passed it with an A! :D So, I am back on track and doing well. I have a lot to do in my scholastic and personal lives but I plan on getting straight A's in my next 3 semesters prior to my goal: transferring to SDSU (technically my 5th year) as junior status. There I will study ISCOR and study abroad my senior year (and basically graduate abroad which is whatever to me and I can always walk earlier or later or whatever but it isn't a thing for me). :) So I plan on updating my grades, life as a student, ETC. Especially the transfer way of things. So far I have done research, I know the EXACT classes I need to transfer as a junior and to graduate. Like I only have stats and speech left for basic GE courses but I will be at a CC for 3 semesters to get all of my major courses done! (Other than special SDSU ISCOR courses).
So at this stage do tons of research!! I need to find out my back-up colleges but I just have a very good feeling about SDSU currently. :)
