Transferring- Is going to CC going to hurt me?

<p>I am currently a freshman at the University of Michigan and am wanting to transfer to either UC Davis, Pomona, Occidental next year, or possibly UC Berkeley my junior year. I realized that University of Michigan was not for me ( I am from California) and am applying to UCD, Pomona, and Occidental for sophomore transfers. I am thinking about dropping out at the semester and doing community college for the 2nd semester of freshman year. How much do you think that will hurt my chances for admission of those 3 schools?</p>

<p>My high school gpa was a 4.3 with a 2000 SAT, and my first semester college GPA should be between a 3.5-3.9. If i drop out and get a 4.0 and CC will that hurt my chances of admission as opposed to stay at michigan the full year?</p>

<p>No; if you go to a California CC it’ll help you, not hurt you.</p>
