Does it look bad if I stay in community college for 3 years?

<p>As mentioned above, they will see your transcript and recognize that they are all lower level 100-200 level classes that you would generally take before completing upper level major courses. Schools look down on someone who takes those upper level courses and then tries to transfer without having an extremely good reason for transferring.</p>

<p>You can always call admissions and ask how they would prefer you mention your reason for the third year (major change) and they will either say don’t worry about it or they’ll suggest you mention it in the essay, in an addendum, or “other information” field in the application.</p>
