    My son has been accepted to UCR for Fall 2020 and being Waitlisted at UCSD, which is his first choice. He has a pretty good GPA, high 3's and a1530 SAT score. Having that said, he does not have a good study habit. My husband literally is trying to convince him to go to community college and transfer. This is not because we are disappointed that he only got accepted to UCR, but that he is concerned that my son won't be able to do well at college for his lack of motivation. My question is, do you know, based on your experience or your friends', who did not (or still don't) have decent study habits and are surviving college?
    And, yes, this video is super helpful and did answer some of my questions. Thank you!!

    • @WillWang
      @WillWang  4 года назад +5

      From my personal experience work ethic is definitely something extremely important for college. As I would assume his external motivation is currently coming from you and your husband; however, I was not the best student and started to pick up the slack in college, I would say it varies from person to person. One thing to also consider is the experience of going to a four year right away. Feel free to ask me any more questions! Glad the video was able to help :)

    I got accepted to UCR for transfer and was given the Regent’s scholarship which according to UCR is the most prestigious scholarship offered by them. However I might not go because I heard it gets really hot, and I truly hate heat. Do you guys think I am making a mistake ?

    • @misterjay4347
      @misterjay4347 4 года назад +1

      Yes! I graduated in 2019. The regent scholarship is a great way to save a lot of money and reduce loan debt. But I would say look at all your options before saying no to UCR.

    I've lived in Riverside all my life and I barely survived high school mostly because of "bad" associations and or "friendships!" If there is anything that is unimportant, it is your development of friendships anywhere. If you are "needy" then you will probably attract bad friends anyway. So don't make "friendships" a priority!
