Is it worth going to CC and then transferring to a 4 year college?

<p>I have applied to six schools in the US. I've been admitted only to lake forest college (IL) with $22 000 scholarship and waitlisted at Grinnell and Bryn Mawr C. Now I plan to go to a community college in IL. My scores are SAT 1860, ACT 27, toefl 107. Only now I realize that it's extremely hard to get into US colleges having $ 15 000/yr. But I do not want to give up yet. I'm obviously retaking SAT.</p>

<p>My other question is:
would my chances of getting in be higher if I transfer from a CC, not a uni in my home country? Also, will my credits transfer to a cheaper uni in canada, for example? (I know I need to do some research on that)</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>There’s essentially no financial aid for international transfer students. The little aid there is, is almost always restricted to international students who are transferring from American universities.</p>
