Spend more than 2 years in CCC ~ will it affect my chance?

Transfer Students
1

<p>I've been wondering about this coz all my friends wanna transfer as soon as possible. I'm the only one who really want to take things slowly. I want to work, travel, get new experience and spend as much time as I can in CCC (to save money) and when I'm ready I'll transfer to UCB, UCLA</p>

<p>The problem is my friends said that if I stay more than 2 years in CCC, it will lessen my chance of getting into UCB and UCLA. IS IT TRUE???</p>

<p>I might stay at CCC for 3-4 years. </p>

<p>I also wanna know anyone that got into UCB or UCLA after spending more than 2 years in CCC. </p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>Can I be a part time student and transfer?</p>

<p>Will taking less than 12 units affect my chance?</p>

<p>no, I believe most people take three years to transfer into the UC system (the stats are somewhere out there). And most transfers I've met here are around twenty one and over...</p>

<p>Nope, unless all you do is college.</p>

<p>yesterday I we had a Berkeley transfer counselor come to our school and I asked her the very same question because this is my third year and she said no way, she actually said that she transferred to UCB after six years of CCC.</p>

<p>I know tons of people who are trying to transfer or who had already transferred with more than 2 years under their belt. I even know of something who's been in CC since 1996, he barely transfered this school year. It really trips me out too to think that I was only 9 at 1996..</p>

<p>i dont think this gives u a disadvantage, as much as it gives people who finish in 2 years a little bit of an advantage bc i guess finishing in 2 shows motivation and seriousness about getting things done..while 3 years can either mean 'taking things slowly' or just being lazy...</p>

<p>i dont think its a big deal but i feel like i remember an admissions representative at berkeley say something good about finishing in 2..good luck</p>

<p>haha 10 years at a community college is like taking a class every other semester...</p>

11

<p>It's my first semester in CCC</p>

<p>Recently graduated from high school</p>

12

<p>if I finish in 1 year, do I get a gpa boost??</p>

13

<p>lostincode...that would probably impress them...</p>

<p>u know what, they do care .000001% about the amount of time it takes u to finish..i'm sure they notice in the back of their head...and it tells them something about the applicant...it may subconsciously play a small role.</p>

14

<p>woooot I knew it :D</p>

15

<p>a very small role lol its hard to tell but wouldn't u think differently of an applicant who did their thing in 1 year when comparing them to another with the same stats who took 3? like i said .0000001 probability</p>

16

<p>.000001 or .0000001???</p>

17

<p>lol i totally knew someone would be a smart *** so i ALMOST was ready to go through the trouble of counting the zeros, but i decided to approximate (sp) instead...</p>

<p>and to answer ur question: .0000001</p>

18

<p>13 units this semester</p>

<p>So will it affect me coz i'll take less units next year maybe 3 classes or less</p>

<p>Yeah, you'll probably be rejected. After all, UCs don't care about gpa, courseload, involvement in honors program, extracurriculars or pre requisite completion. All they care about is whether or not you're a full time student in your final semesters (which is why the application is so short).</p>
