<p>trunl – Did you take those CC courses at the CC or in your high school? Are they for high school credit or dual enrollment credit? If for dual enrollment you need to know that many of them would not be transferable to many private schools or to some out-of-state publics. If your CC experience has been a positive one then you might indeed think about completing an Associate’s degree there then transferring to one of your in-state publics to complete your undergraduate degree. I’m not familiar enough with the Texas system to give any useful information but you should find out what it takes in CC to transfer to an excellent Texas public school like UT-Austin and then do what it takes. I do think that with your current GPA and test scores – and financial need – your OOS and private options are limited.</p>
