<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I am a community college student. I am just wondering if there are any other community college students that have already transferred, what they did and where they ended up?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply. I read that thread. I was looking to see if there were other community college students as well.</p>
<p>right here</p>
<p>i just finished up two years at a community college. i went there because I wanted to boost my grades a bit in order to get into a good school (my hs grades weren't good at all and i knew i could do better) as well as to take some time to figure out what i wanted to do in life. i'll be transferring to cornell in the fall.</p>
<p>It was great to hear about your experience. That is quite inspiring. I am also in a similar boat and am attending community college. This transfer forum is quite inspiring. Would you mind just telling a little more about yourself and what you were involved in and what you did at your community college that made you such an attractive student?</p>
<p>By the way if there are other people in the same boat as me I would love to hear your story. I am a community college student. In high school I went a nationally ranked public high school (17th in the nation). I had all the opportunities, and being of a economically and minority background I had tons of help as well. The problem that I had in high school was that I had many problems in my family life. For example, in my journal year my fist semester gpa was a 3.85 then it went down to a 2.45 the next semester. I had quite a pattern of that spiraling up and down throughout my high school career. It is sad when I think about it because I have always felt at home at school and learning has always been where I thrived. When it came to the choice of selecting a college, I knew I would do best at a community college so I could have some freedom to get my self together so I could go to the best place.</p>
<p>The decision to attend a community college really is working out quite nicely for me. I am lucky to go to one of the best community colleges in the nation. I have been able to maintain a 4.0GPA despite taking a rigorous pre-medicine courseload, working 25-30 hours a week and becoming involved in extracurriculars. I have also started two undergraduate research papers and should be publishing in some major and minor scientific journals this spring 2007. I have pursued my passions here. At first it felt kind of forced because I knew the pressure was on me to get good grades and get scholarships so I felt kind of forced to be this super student. But after relaxing and reassessing what is important, I realized that by just being myself and pursuing the things that I enjoy I could be that student and so much more because I could actually be myself.</p>
<p>Now I am just in the grind, studying for SATs (never took 'em in high school), writing applications, applying for scholarships, etc. It can sometimes get rough so I am glad to have people like you to look to and hope that maybe I can get there soon.</p>
<p>Anyway thats my community college story. Thanks again for posting about yourself and where you are know. I feel truly inspired and it gives me something to look towards.</p>
