<p>I waited too long and honestly don't think I'll get in to any of my top schools. I know (once I apply) ill get into Texas State and Ole Miss-both schools that don't have great reputations. Is it better to attend one of these schools for four years or just one year and try to transfer to a better school (I know I'm capable of high grades) or attend a junior college option like go to utsa for a year and then automatic to ut Austin or blinn for a year then texas a&m automatic. Which is better? I am planning on applying to a good law school so will the junior college look really bad on my transcripts? At this point I'm literally depressed that I won't be getting in to any good schools but I guess things could be worse..</p>
<p>I don’t know how you can be so confident that you can get good scores in college if you don’t have high enough high school grades to even have a chance of admission to higher colleges.</p>
<p>Please try to answer the question…</p>
<p>Because I took college classes in high school and got As in them. The only thing that kills my gpa is my freshman/soph year when I was too immature to try.</p>
<p>I’d stay at a university for four years rather than transfer</p>
<p>Why would you stay four years at one university if you could get into a better one?</p>
<p>Did you apply for Ole Miss’ Honors College? I think their Honors College is better than the honors colleges at many other public universities. There are some exceptional programs there but the application deadlines are January 15.</p>
<p>For transfer questions, I suggest you ask on the Texas and/or Transfer Students forums. Many public schools have transfer agreements which you need to be aware of; for instance, I believe it is easier to transfer to a UC from a CCC than from another CA public due to transfer agreements (CA folks correct me if I’m wrong).</p>
<p>For your question about law and attending a CC, ask on the Law School forum.</p>
<p>It is really helpful to look at the various forums offered here and pick the most appropriate one(s) for your questions; separating your questions if necessary.</p>
<p>My reading of your question is: Looking froward 3-4 years from now “what are my chances for acceptance to law school”.</p>
<p>A key component of your chances would be your LSAT score. That score range is 120-180. If you were to score 170+ you would have very good chances regardless of where you attended college.</p>
<p>Another key component is your college GPA. If you do well at college – say an A- average or higher – you would have very good chances regardless of where you attended colleges.</p>
<p>If you prove out as a strong student at college you should do extremely well at the 4 year colleges on your likely list. You will have less competition than at a more selective college.</p>
<p>My opinion is that the CC route + transfer is a poorer choice than the 4-year college route, especially if you plan to continue on to law school. While there are exceptions, CC courses are at a lower level than 4-year college course, and the learning environment at a CC is more like a continuation of high school than the experience of college.</p>
<p>just do well at the university you choose to attend.</p>
