What are the best universities that will accept qualified CC transfers?

Transfer Students

<p>I am graduating high school this June. I did really poorly throughout the four years (like a sub-2 gpa), way under my potential, because of bad habits, to put it simply. I missed class and didn't turn work in. This final semester, I decided to complete my credits through my local community college, taking 100-level college classes that fulfilled my remaining high school credits while also counting towards a future college degree. I've actually been doing fairly well in them, earning A's and B's. </p>

<p>So I am going to go to community college next year as well, mainly because I have no other option at this point. If I continue to get good grades, what are my best hopes for transferring into a 4-year university? What are the best colleges that accept CC transfers? Anything else I should do while attending CC, like ECs, etc? What is the process, and which universities will allow for a robust experience without having attended the first year or two years? </p>

<p>As for what I plan on studying, I am having difficultly figuring that out. It is a whole subject to tackle in itself. But this much is certain: I am someone who loves to learn, who has a sense of wonder that I want to nourish throughout college. My poor performance in high school came from a lack of an ability to manage my time and a tendency to procrastinate. It wasn't from a lack of curiosity or desire to learn. My SAT/ACT scores were a stark contrast from my grades, so I feel that I've mastered the HS content better than my GPA would say.</p>

<p>Thanks SO much for your help.</p>

<p>There is really no limit. I know people who have transferred from my CC to Columbia, Cornell, NYU, and many other excellent schools. </p>

<p>If you have a strong desire to learn but do not know exactly what you want to study yet, then a CC is the perfect place to explore your interests in a lower-risk environment! As for ECs, anything like Phi Theta Kappa or other honors societies are great and being a member of PTK can make you eligible for transfer scholarships at lots of schools. I don’t know specifically what else is available at your particular CC but anything that shows you made the most out of your current institution is key.</p>

<p>As far as I know, colleges that accept transfers accept transfers from both community colleges and four year colleges. What could hold you back is your high school grades. I would search for old posts about what colleges don’t require high school transcripts.</p>
