<p>do yu think cal states like sal st. long beach will care that i stayed 3 years at a community college? i would have transferred sooner, but i skipped a semester of math and would have to squish my remaining classes together. this is my 2 year schedule</p>
<p>summer- business calculus 1- 4 units</p>
<p>fall semester
microeconomics- 3 units
business calc 2- 3 units
financial accounting- 4 units
intro. to comptr. info. system- 3 units
art 1 -visual culture in modern life- 3 units</p>
<p>spring semester
managerial accounting- 4 units
intro. to logic- 3 units
elem. statistics w/ prob.- 4 units
intro. to physical anthropology- 3 units
physical elements plus lab- 4 units</p>
<p>i am afraid that i might not do as well in those classes if i try to transfer in 2 years, so i am wondering if better grades is worth an extra year to transfer to cal st. long beach as a business major.</p>
<p>I do not think spending 3 years will hurt you at all. They are looking for how well you do, not how quickly. I planned to transfer after two years of community college but ending up staying a third – and I’ve just been accepted to UC Berkeley, UCLA, and Columbia, among others. If you can demonstrate your ability to perform well over a longer period of time, that may actually be a bonus. I would recommend that you try to meet with someone from the admissions departments of the schools you’re applying to, though, to make sure you’re taking what you need. Remember that you don’t always have to complete all of your major preparation before transferring.</p>
<p>I also did three years, and I’ve been accepted to Berkeley, UCLA, etc. Don’t worry about it. I was at Berkeley’s welcome reception and I believe they said the average age for entering transfers was around 22 or 23. I imagine Cal States have similar statistics. An extra year won’t hurt you.</p>
<p>I sure hope not. I’ve been attending CC off and on since 2003.</p>
