Options from transferring into a community college

Transfer Students

<p>Hello everyone, I'm currently attending a community college in Florida and want to know what universities I can transfer to in the future.</p>

<p>In high school I did not do well, but this is inconsequential in regard to my academic ability (not necessarily to the universities, as I may understand). I want to go to a top university for business.</p>

<p>This semester, I am on course to finish with a 4.0 gpa. Assuming I complete 60 units and transfer as a junior, what are my choices?</p>

<p>I am a very ambitious individual who is set on using nearly all my free time (I have plenty, just moved here and know very few people, haha) into attending a great university - so if you have any, I would love to hear advice on what other things I could do (besides getting really good SATs and a high GPA) to ensure my acceptance at a higher-tier university.</p>

<p>So I've already done research on this and have pretty much concluded that it is nearly impossible to attend Harvard, Princeton, and Stanford per their transfer policies and acceptance rates. I guess I won't be going to Harvard, then. </p>

<p>As with Upenn, Columbia, and Cornell, they seem very iffy on their transfer policies. The UCs (Berkeley in particular) seem like they are reluctant to accept students outside of California CCs, but I'm not sure. So I'm just asking for your insight as to what would be the best university I could attend, assuming I make the best out of my community college experience and time out of it.</p>

<p>Thank you for reading and helping me with my question.</p>

<p>Have you sat down with the Transfer Advisor at your CC to get advice about this? That person should be able to tell you which places have admitted students from your CC in recent years. If you are one of the top students there right now, that advisor should also be very excited about working with you to find the best place for your last two years.</p>

<p>This is the sort of information your Transfer Advisor should be able to provide for you:

<p>See the UC Transfer Students subforum for information about OOS CC transfers to the UCs; it is likely to be difficult, and it is definitely going to be expensive (ca. 50k/yr COA).</p>
