<p>I am going to start my first year at a community college. Would it be wise to stay in community college for two yrs or one yr. I want to transfer to USC or Berkley. I think I would be able to transfer to USC as a soph but would it be better for me to transfer to UC Berkley as a junior?</p>
<p>You can’t even spell Berkeley. Therefore aim for USC.</p>
<p>Agreed. 10 char</p>
<p>LMAO @ the first response.</p>
<p>Anyway, from what I’ve heard, California has a program in which community college students can be guaranteed admission into a UC, assuming that they fulfill the required courses with a certain gpa. However, I’ve also heard that you don’t always get admitted into the UC of your choice. (I believe the program is called TAP)</p>
<p>If it were me, I’d go to Berkeley. It’s a lot cheaper, and has a reputation as the best public school in the nation. That’s just me though. They’re both excellent schools. I’d say stay in the CC for two years and then transfer to either school.</p>
<p>Try to weigh your choices regarding how it fits you and studies for your major. But I’d go with east89 idea about staying for 2 years and transferring out.</p>
<p>Both are rough. I suggest two years for USC. I dont think you can transfer after one year. Unless you get a 3.8+ your first semester I think most first year transfers have a tougher chance. 2nd year you can be a competitive applicant with a 3.6</p>
<p>The TAG agreement doesn’t apply to Berkeley or UCLA. </p>
<p>You typically transfer after two years since the first year, you’re taking classes and getting a GPA out of it. In your third semester, you apply, update your grades after the fall, and roll into the spring and find out the results. </p>
<p>For UCs, you need at least 60 units to transfer, so balance it out 15, 15, 15, 15 or play around with that number.</p>
<p>Dude… Its Berkeley. </p>
<p>Your question is poorly worded and rather amiguous in nature its self.
What do you mean by better? financially or socially?</p>
