<p>This is a list of open questions that have been shortened and focused and easy to answer. I was just denied admittance to UMD-College Park. I want to go to another school for as short a time as possible, then transfer.</p>

<p>1) Is there a list of schools that are GOOD, have late application deadlines(Feb 15th or later)/rolling admissions, and are CHEAP that I can browse through and then apply to?</p>

<p>2) Is community college a good option? Are all CCs two-year schools? Does going to a four-year school when transferring look better than attending a CC? Is there even any sort of this community college discrimination practiced by Universities when picking out their transfer students?</p>

<p>3) When's the earliest I can transfer out of college from question number 1 without having the target school look at my high school grades/SATs? What if my grades in college were really good? Would the target school recognize the trend in my grades and not even care about my high school GPA? Is this timeline 1 semester, 1 year, or two years in college before transferring?</p>

<p>4) What grade/rigor should I shoot for in college before transferring? Does it change depending on whether or not I'm in CC or 4-year school?</p>

<p>5) Do high school grades even matter when transferring?</p>

<p>Thanks guys, this help isn't just for me!</p>

<p>Here is the link to the page for transfer students at UMCP [University</a> of Maryland - Applying as a Transfer Student, University of](<a href=“http://www.admissions.umd.edu/admissions/apply/transfer.asp]University”>http://www.admissions.umd.edu/admissions/apply/transfer.asp) I believe it will answer a number of your questions (and at the bottom of page there’s a link to more answers).</p>

<p>There are numerous threads about schools with later deadlines on CC. Here’s one <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/841691-official-list-schools-later-deadlines-9.html?highlight=deadlines[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/841691-official-list-schools-later-deadlines-9.html?highlight=deadlines&lt;/a&gt; All you have to do is to search.</p>
