You can write down as many colleges as possible. This is so we can help you plan next steps.

The Honors Institute has partnerships with some schools. You may have heard of the UCLA-Transfer Alliance and the Irvine Honors to Honors, but there are many more. Also you can directly TAG one UC which tells that university you want to go there specifically. Of course, this is all very preliminary and is used only to help you formulate a list. Below is a list of transfer partner institutions for Foothill, select any you are interested in pursuing. These are not final decisions and of course there are many other universities to apply to!
