You’ll want to study hard before attempting any thing in this curriculum.

Hopefully, they’ll have a good English program.

Oh, dear. Do you mean what majors does the college offer? Please see Rob’s link. I think maybe you need to do some basic research into college and probably have a chat with your school guidance counselor.

Universities don’t mager; students declare majors in their field of concentration. Have someone proof-read your application, please. And if you don’t feel like doing your own on-line research, call SDU, ask for Admissions Department and have them mail you a catalog.

There are actually three universities in San Diego with similar names:

1) U.C.S.D., in La Jolla, (University of California, San Diego) part of the UC system,
2) U.S.D. (University of San Diego) the Catholic University there, and
3) C.S.U.S.D. State University, San Diego) also public, but part of the State System

You need to do a search on all three and find out which one your are interested in and what the requirements are for entrance. All are fairly competitive, desirable school with great competition and due to location and reputation.

i meant like you know how UC Davis has a big and good medical area, thats what i mean, like what do they specialize in?

Miss_Lys's avatar

okay well maybe i should rephrase my question, what University is good for a career in Law enforcement.

Seesul's avatar

You still haven’t answered which one.

Miss_Lys's avatar

like Criminal Defense lawyer or Criminal Investigator. And not talking about Law schools because i know you have to go to law school as well.

Miss_Lys's avatar

SORRY I MEANT MAJOR. YOUR RIGHT PUPNTACO HOPEFULLY A GOOD ENGLISH CLASS, NOT SO GREAT AT IT, I HARDLY SPELL OUT THE WORD MAJOR SO I SORT OF FORGOT lol. oops

Before you go into any career, be it law-enforcement or medical-related, you need some basic liberal arts skills – accurate reading, clear and readable writing, critical thinking, some hard science. (and please turn the volume down, Miss_Lys. We get your point.)

That is the most difficult of the three to be admitted. To even consider it, you need to first speak to a guidance counselor, as others have suggested. To be admitted you need to have impeccable English, high SAT’s, and a high GPA to match it, to even consider it.
La Jolla is perhaps also the most desirable of the UC campuses, due to it’s location alone.

Gail has given you some excellent advice. I strongly suggest you follow it and consider all of the options.

Miss_Lys's avatar

well i can always take those in any university right, they offer a whole bunch of classes.

Miss_Lys's avatar

well i do have a high GPA im great at math i just need to work at English but im not that bad, i get good test scores and high for math and Science. so im and determined student and of course i will have back up colleges.

Quite frankly, I really really doubt that it matters where you go to ‘major in law enforcement’. If you want to be come a cop, you don’t go to a university, you go to a tech school/trade school…

There’s a difference between getting in to a college and being able to keep up with the curriculum. If you’re actually going for something you can ‘mager’ in you can do your initial GEC courses anywhere. Save yourself some money in the process.

Keep to larger universities in general. I doubt a small private college would be of much help. They don’t have as much breadth as a large university.

The person who asked the question didn’t say they wanted to be a cop- they said they want to be in law enforcement. And it most definitely does matter what school she goes to- trade school would be the wrong move if she wanted to go on to join the FBI, for example. She’s not trying to be a mall security guard. Law enforcement can encompass many fields and her end destination doesn’t necessarily include her local police department.

Here’s the latest (2007) class admissions for UCSD, so you may see if you fall into the basic range. Keep in mind that a great many students took honors classes in HS as well.

Miss_Lys's avatar

okay to make things easier for delirium and jballou i dont want to be a cop or FBI, nothing like that, its more like criminal investigator or a criminal defense lawyer, they are both in kind of the same field but im stuck which i’d like to do. But im sure i have to take similar classes to do either. Does that help. Thanks seesul and yes im in some honors classes and i think im capable of going to a University like UCSD. What would you say how high a gpa to get into this university?

gailcalled's avatar

@Miss _Lys; If you are serious about matriculating at UCSD, you should be able to find the admission stats. Admissions are about much more than GPA…Robmandu has made it easy by giving you the link ^^.

Miss_Lys's avatar

thats true but UCSD isn’t my only choice its just the one i know the least about. sure i could go to a website but what i wanted to do is see if anyone knows of any better or if they thought going to that type of school is good with the career i’ve chosen.

gailcalled's avatar

My dear sweet girl; you have to work on written English before you think of any kind of career. Punctuation and upper case were invented for a reason…clarity.

Seesul's avatar

Correction on my previous post. I put in the wrong link. It was for applicants, not admissions. Here is the most current admissions data.

“Mae Brown, assistant vice chancellor for Admissions and Enrollment Services, noted that the academic quality of the incoming freshmen class continues to be outstanding, as this year’s group of admitted students attained a mean high school grade point average (GPA) of 4.06 and an average SAT Reasoning score of 629, 670 and 641 respectively for Critical Reading, Math and Writing.”

Miss_Lys's avatar

@ gailcalled: Very funny but I’m sure people could read just fine without correct punctuation and uppercase. No offense. And thanks to all the people who commented. And actually and not as bad in English as it looks it’s just not my favorite subject, I am actually a very good writer just with minor errors.

delirium's avatar

No, we can’t read it all that well.
