Applying to College
1

<p>i went to a really competitive high school and didnt try what so ever so now im hearing about what a great time my friends are having at cornell, michigan, miami etc. im going to community college for a year to transfer to a normal school(hopefully).</p>

<p>i want to go to the University of Arizona real bad what are my chances of getting in since i am out of state? here are my CC classes for this upcoming year </p>

<p>Foundations Of Col Reading
Basic Writing 2
Prealgebra
College Success</p>

<p>i know that those are bad but like i said i didnt even attempt high school what so ever. i know that the prealgerbra class doesnt even count the credits since its not a college level course so pretty much im a failure right? can i get a list of schools that could be willing to give me a chance?</p>

<p>I’ll be honest, but those classes sound and look very bad on a transcript. Is your math level really only good enough for prealgebra? Can you handle calculus 1? </p>

<p>To successfully transfer from CC to big state universities you need to show the big state schools that you can do well at their school. So I would suggest taking some more serious courses. </p>

<p>I would drop everything except basic writing 2, and take some real courses in majors your interested in.</p>

<p>EDIT: Don’t take calculus then, but are there courses in journalism or media studies or anything like that?</p>

<p>if those are your courses, you are not going to be ready for a ‘regular school’ in one year. if those really are your courses, you likely don’t have the necessary skills, and won’t for some time, to succeed in a 4 year university</p>

<p>Probably a ■■■■■. Pre-Algebra at that age? Seriously? From a competitive high school?</p>
