Best Transfer Route?

If I wanted to transfer to a higher tier nursing program like UCLA, then would it be better to start at a community college or a pre-nursing program like that of Cal State Long beach? Does this affect the transfer admission at all? Because according to UCLA admitted transfer student profile, they accept more community college students than state school students. Any thoughts?

I’d search for a previous recent post where someone posted the admissions stats for UCLA nursing. They were scary.
