<p>So my original plan was to apply to a Four-Year University that accepts 100% of their applicants (AKA Open Admission) and then complete a semester or two there and transfer to a
better four year university (Like University Of Maryland - College Park) to pursue my major because I did not do so well in High School (2.28 weighted GPA, a couple honor classes and AP classes here and there but nothing amazing) and I figured that would be the best way to not only get out of my parents house but also continue my education. However, recently I spoke to a couple of my class mates who suggested the idea that I should just continue my education at a respectable community college (Montgomery college) and transfer to UMBC from there, because it would be a lot more easier (and my chances increase of being accepted as a transfer) than it would be if I were to transfer from a non-selective University (I.E Mountain State University, Wayne State University) to UMBC. How true is this? Do my chances of being accepted as a transfer really decrease that much if I decide to try and transfer from a non-selective four year university versus a public community college?</p>
<p>If the community college accepts 100% of its applicants, that argument makes zero sense.</p>
