Transfer Students

<p>what community colleges or jr colleges are most respected in the US? anyone know?</p>

2

<p>Deep Springs College. </p>

<p>Or if you're only considering CCs, it's kinda hard to evaluate them. I know the system I'm at (NHMCCD) grants a very high number of AA degrees and I always hear good things about Montgomery College in Maryland sending a good deal of students to JHU/Georgetown.</p>

<p>Man, Deep Springs shouldn't even be on that list. I applied there out of HS, but wasn't able to make it past the second round.</p>

<p>Ultimately though, I'm not sure how I would have dealt with the experience. It really is a different life-though you are rewarded when you transfer out.</p>

<p>Well, it is technically a junior college ;).</p>

<p>You probably didn't make it because of your GPA. I hear Deep Springs is insanely competitive and near perfect test scores are the norm for admitted applicants. I guess it takes a certain kinda person, but as someone that's already lived out in the country for my entire life, I'd never want to spend two more years on a ranch in the middle of Cali.</p>

<p>Like asking who the smartest retard is...</p>

6

<p>wait.............deep springs rejects people and its a CC?</p>

<p>how weird lol im about to look this place up</p>

7

<p>it's a two-year, all-male version of BJ.U.</p>

8

<p>Deep Springs is arguably the toughest school to get into in the entire US....</p>

<p>"It is entirely possible that an incoming class might contain as few as 11 or as many as 15 students and select from a pool of between 100 and 200--which means our selectivity can vary between 15% and 6% year-to-year."</p>

<p>not too bad compared to curtis or jailyard</p>

10

<p>those aren't really academic institutions....</p>

11

<p>so what kind of post-AA opportunities does Deep Springs offer to its students?</p>

12

<p>you get to transfer to pretty much anywhere you want</p>

13

<p>In terms of competativeness, it's Little Big Horn College <a href="http://www.lbhc.cc.mt.us/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.lbhc.cc.mt.us/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Their acceptance rate for non-Native Americans is 0%.</p>

14

<p>^ example of affirmative action going overboard</p>

15

<p>maybe the apply rate is also 0%</p>

16

<p>lax thats not true at all.</p>

17

<p>Um, best community college? I really don't know how one would evaluate them. </p>

<p>Moraine Valley Community College in Palos Hills, IL was ranked #2 as CC a few years ago. I don't know where that information came from though.</p>

18

<p><a href="http://www.mdc.edu/home/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.mdc.edu/home/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Miami Dade College ^ is a rather fine 2 year school. They seem to have their act together.</p>
