Transfer into a college after one year of community college?

<p>My grades in high school for the first two are bad, but I shaped up during my junior year and sense then I have been getting basically all As, including in a few AP classes. I am behind one math course though and community college seems like a route I will have to take. I am smart, but my SAT score won't be great untill I complete Geometry. Once I do that, I will have a at least above average SAT score.</p>

<p>If I complete one year of community college with straight As, and try to transfer into a good college/university after that year, do you think I will have a good chance? Is that ever done? Community ollege sounds depressing to me and I want to get into a decent college as fast as I can. Will a college see that I shaped up for my last two years of highschool and did great in a community college and decide to accept me?</p>

<p>Any advise about this would help me.</p>

<p>if you are planning to go to community college, your highschool grades does not matter to the college you are planning to transfer to. Thus, just do your best and aced that community college and transfer. But plan ahead about the transfer, talk with the college you want to transfer to so they would know your situation. </p>

<p>I would say to try to see if you can go in the college you wanted to go, community college as a last option.</p>

<p>You might want to take a look at the Transfer Forum. Click on “Discussion Home” in the upper-left of this screen and scroll down to find it. Many of your questions are answered in the sticky thread titled “Transfer Admissions 101” near the top of that forum.</p>

<p>Yes, you can apply for transfer after only one year at a community college. However, with only one semester’s worth of grades there for the admissions committee to look at, they almost certainly will require a copy of your HS transcript, and will use that information when making their decision. Generally speaking, it is better for a student to plan on completing a full two years before transferring, as many colleges and universities will no longer require the HS transcript of standardized test scores.</p>
