Does going to "better" cc improve your chance of admission?

Transfer Students

<p>I mean really.
I know that for high schools, University gives +points for going to a good private school, and no point for going to a regular public school.</p>

<p>I know that SMC is like a top class community college. It has the highest transfer rate in California, and highest number of people being admitted to UCLA. </p>

<p>I go to College of the Canyons, i dunno if any of you know it or not, but it's a good school, but i doubt it's as highly reputed as SMC.</p>

<p>do you think this will hurt my chance of admission?</p>

<p>^Holy ****, I went to College of the Canyons. COC in the house! haha, IM me if you have any questions... =] I love my fellow cougars.</p>

<p>In any case, I got into all UCs I applied to blah blah blah.</p>

<p>P.S. Don't forget that SMC also has the largest pool of UCLA rejects out of all community colleges. I believe its 700+ each year.</p>

<p>NO it wont hurt you. its not suppose to.</p>

<p>we're not the admission committe so nobody here can say for sure.</p>

<p>but seriously why worry about something you can't change?</p>

<p>if this is bothering you, change schools. otherwise focus on yourself...you're way more important than the school you went to. so yea good luck =)</p>

4

<p>yeah thats what im considering also.
I'm visiting SMC tomorrow to see their policy and is thinking of switching for this fall..
but i dunno yet.</p>

5

<p>^ Wow, ***. Seriously, please don't. You will be able to succeed from any community college.</p>

<p>For that matter, COC is pretty bad ass. We've sent people to Yale; as well as a couple to Stanford and Cornell over the last few years. Haha, and almost all my homies (friends in student gov, tutoring lab, in classes) who applied to UCLA got in.</p>

<p>dhl thats really dumb if your only reason is 'a cc's prestige lol'</p>

<p>stick it out, work hard, you can do it. its not worth the trouble.</p>

<p>Cardinal, COC????
wow... YOU GOTTA LOVE COC!!!
damn~ what year did you transfer?</p>

8

<p>I'm fresh out COC dhl3...! yup, I felt like I mastered the school when I was there. In the sense, that I took advantage of all the available opportunities and whatnot. If you have any questions whatsoever, don't hesitate to ask :)</p>

<p>what's your major?</p>

10

<p>English. You should just IM me ! haha :)</p>

11

<p>Cool~ then you must know D'astoli!</p>

12

<p>Yup, I know all them Ingles gangstas. I'm pretty close to some of the faculty there. Just holla if you need any prof recommendations. </p>

<p>What is your major ?</p>

13

<p>Economics.</p>

14

<p>I hope you go to Berkeley. We need more CC heads up here. :)</p>

<p>Are you applying this Fall?</p>

15

<p>Yup, applying this fall.
Just need to get couple more activities and leadership program to make up for my below-average EC history.
And yes, Berkeley is one of the schools I'm applying. Somehow, I have a feeling that it'd be easier than the UCLA econ major transfers, even with the HITE.</p>

<p>what was your GPA?</p>

16

<p>3.8 haha but I had like 37 hite units. I think thats what set me apart. I was also student trustee for a while and other random ****...like tutoring in TLC lab.</p>

<p>If you need more activities, you should join ASG or tutor a subject in the TLC lab.</p>

17

<p>oh you were in ASG. nice~
you must know Annie Yang then.
I was also in ASG last year.
I was the director :P</p>

<p>but this year im applying for one of the officer position.
hopefully i get one of em.</p>
