Probably not and back-up

<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>Next year I will apply for colleges, and I just needed some advice.</p>

<p>My record isn't amazing. I didn't try at ALL Sophomore year. I am doing better this year (Junior). I seriously doubt that I will be accepted into any major schools such as Berkeley and UCLA.</p>

<p>So I have a few questions.</p>

<p>Pretty much I've been in Honors / AP classes whenever they've been available, so I don't know if that's going to help. I will probably apply to the lower UCs and the Cal Polys. If I don't get into at least Irvine, this is where I have questions.</p>

<p>Is it better to do two years at, say UC Riverside / SC, or should I just go to a CC such as De Anza and attempt to enter a program which will go into Berkeley?</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice.</p>

<p>Hmm...most likely I will end up going to De Anza.</p>

<p>Or probably I have like a 95% of getting into UCR, UCSC, and UCM.
Is is better to go there?</p>
