<p>I'm in love with schools in New England states, and I've been wanting to attend one of them since I was a pre-teen. I've heard much about them, and I'm currently doing lots of research to discover which school is going to be my best fit.</p>
<p>As for now, I could be considered one of those "prestige chaser", but in the end, I truly want to go to the best school for my major/interests, so that have been said:</p>
<p>I know transferring from a community college to, let's just say for now, an ivy league school is EXTREMELY challenging. However, I also do know that it's not impossible as I've seen quite a lot of people transferring there from community colleges here in California.</p>
<p>I've been reading many threads on this board, and I read this one thread about California being the best place to go to CC's to transfer to a four year college since the system is well-known to many people and very well-organized (considering the fact that they actually have a program called IGETC) My spouse and I have exchanged words about moving to the east coast though where may very likely be my final destination.
I've spoken to an aquaintance over there in North Carolina, and he said that my chance of going to, let's say, for example, Harvard might be better there than from here.</p>
<p>Could this be true? Frankly, I'm not sure about what he said, because although North Carolina may be much closer to those excellent schools in the east coast, it's still a small state compared to California, and again, having read about California being the best place to attend a CC at today, my question rose to the top.</p>
<p>Any advice/answer would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>I don't think 4 year uni discriminate which CC you go to. California has the best CC system because we have the UC system. Unless you want to transfer to one of the top UC's (which is the best public school system), I don't see why you need to move from where you are to California. </p>
<p>What's your major?</p>
<p>Oh, and welcome to CC =)
Remember im the one who replies to your first post on CC</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your response.</p>
<p>Actually, it's the other way around; I currently reside in California, and my spouse and I are thinking of moving to North Carolina where my spouse is originally from. That's why I called someone over there to ask how transferring from CC to 4 year college works over there. I frankly didn't even know such system existed in the east coast, and I was actually even happy to find out that it does exist over there as well.</p>
<p>I did read much about CC's being regarded as the same to four year colleges, however, I was wondering which CC, or I should rather say CC's in which side of the national perhaps have better chance of getting you prepared for those tough colleges. I guess it probably ultimately depends on what class you take and who you come across as a professor, but I was hoping to get a statistic or something like that.</p>
<p>Also, does anyone know what particular CC had the highest number of students transferred to the nation's top 10 universities?</p>
<p>=D hah nobdy replies to your post except me. </p>
<p>If i were you, I would stay in calif. Though you want to tranfer to ivies, they are extremely hard to get into and in this case, UC's can be your safety net. (or even USC)</p>
<p>Here are some top notch CCC that have high transfer rates to top notch 4 year univs. </p>
<p>Pasadena City College
Santa Monica COllege
Diablo Valley College</p>
<p>CC system on east coast sucks. i could never imagine to transfer froma CC to a prestiges college like hopkins, harvard, corenell but on west its easy to transfer from a CC to a UCB UCLA UCSD its a shame :(</p>
<p>If you want to transfer to Harvard, go to Harvard extension nights rather than to a CC. It is VERY hard to end up at any ivy from any CC. You will need high SATs whereas UCs don't look at SATs. So for your best chance at a highly rated college CC to UC has the highest odds.</p>
