<p>My first choice will be Berkeley, second- Cornell and third UCLA</p>
<p>My chances.../?</p>
<p>Your odds are about 6 to 7 times as good to get into UCLA or UCB as to get into Cornell. </p>
<p>The reasons are very simple:
(1) the whole UC/CSU/CCC system is designed to allow students to attend a California community college for the first two years and then transfer into a 4-year public school within California (or to a 4-year school that is looking for transfers on a regular basis--such as USC or Loyola Marymount).
(2) Cornell is not generally looking for many CC transfers to begin with, and, when on that rare occasion they do accept a CC transfer, it is usually someone that has gone to a CC within NY and greatly excelled.</p>
<p>This is not to say that it is completely impossible to transfer to Cornell from a California CC--but it is extremely difficult. </p>
<p>P.S. Generally, however, an accepted transfer to Cornell would be someone who has met all of their transfer requirements--ones which usually include having already taken one full year of science courses and one full year of foreign language. If you will have both of these requirements done by June, you will have a much better chance of acceptance than if you haven't taken these courses yet.--Good luck.</p>
