Can I transfer after one year, instead of two?

<p>So I just got rejected from 9/10 of the colleges to which I applied. And the one that I got accepted to is too expensive for me to attend. Which makes community college the only option. </p>

<p>Is it possible to be ready to transfer from a community college in one year? </p>

<p>I will have loads of AP credits:
5 on AP Psych (junior)
5 on APUSH (junior
4 on AP Lang (junior)
4 on AP Euro (sophomore)
3 on AP Bio (sophomore)
will be taking Gov, Macro, Art History, World History, Calc AB, and Lit this year</p>

<p>Could I accumulate enough credits to transfer in one year? Also, could I earn an Associate's Degree in one year?</p>

<p>In addition, is this plan even advisable? My high school GPA was really my downfall in this admissions process (3.18 UW, 4.06 W), and I got a D in my Calculus class first semester.Will one year of a great college GPA be able to make me competitive, or is two years necessary? Or will my high school GPA doom me once more, regardless of how much time I spend at a community college before applying as a transfer? </p>

<p>I'm looking to transfer to UC Berkeley, or privates such as UChicago, Columbia, and Georgetown. </p>

<p>And finally, what else can I do to increase my chances at transfers to extremely selective schools?</p>

<p>Thank you so much for reading through this long post, and for helping out a senior that is somewhat unsure of where to go from here.</p>

<p>Yes you can apply for transfer after only one year. Make an appointment with the transfer counselors at your local community college and talk with them about your options. They will have good ideas for you.</p>

<p>Sure, but you need a lot of units. I’m not entirely sure how the AP classes factor in, so you’ll want to talk to a college counselor. What’s your major? I could see what courses you need, how many you’ve done through AP, and what’s left.</p>

<p>this is exactly what I did and I got into Pepperdine on a Regents’ Scholarship. It works well.</p>

<p>Try to take about 30 hours during the year you’re there and do your ABSOLUTE best to get a 4.0. I mean it. Work hard and BUST YOUR ASS.</p>

<p>They will see how serious you are now about your education, and you will be rewarded for that.</p>
