<p>Hi, I am a 20years old Japanese student, and I am planning to study in US.
So now I'm finding colleges but most of informations in Japan is not enough and limited.</p>
<p>So, I'd like you to give me some informations about US colleges.</p>
<p>Prerequisite are that the college has....
[good results of transfering to 4year college]
[located east coast such as MA,PA,NY,NJ,CT]</p>
<p>Unfortunately my high-school GPA is not good...(about 2.9)
so I cannot go good college directly, and transfer is very important for me.
I need to graduate good college, because I want to work in financial institution like investment fund.</p>
<p>I know my english is terrible but please help me!</p>
<p>BMCC(borough of manhattan community college) is located in New York City. It’s well-known for its all programs. If you study enough, I’m sure you’ll be able to get into a 4 year college after you complete their curriculum.</p>
<p>Actually I thought that apply to CC in California such as Foothill college, Santa monica college, Diablo valley CC and De anza, but I heard that after the Lehman Shock, the California’s Colleges situation are terrible. So I excluded California…</p>
<p>I know so many Japanese people went to Community College in US, however not few people (I mean a lot of people) failed…</p>
<p>I don’t want to be these people. I want to be succeed!</p>
<p>I heard two types of Community Colleges
one is for Working (I mean like Vocational Training)
and other is for transferring to 4-year colleges</p>
<p>I want go last one I said.</p>
<p>But it is really difficult to find good school for foreign people…
you know… school website never say negative things…</p>
<p>But I think you should have more information than me…
So please teach me what school is good for me…</p>
<p>Actually, now I listed Allegany college of Maryland, Nassau community college, Roxbury Community college, Raritan Valley Community College, Lackawana college, Montgomery College in Rockville.</p>
<p>Im taking early college classes at Allegany College of Maryland Bedford County Campus. (I have personal connections with a lot of the faculty). All of the professors are extremely nice and willing to help you anytime they can. The classes are also a good size (about 20-25), the professors interact a lot in class and try to stay at a personal level with the students instead of just being there to teach. Im not sure if the main campus is the same, Ive never been there, but the Bedford County campus is a nice, small, friendly enviroment. The credits also transfer to a lot of good colleges throughout the area. Im looking to transfer to University of Pittsburgh, University of Pennsylvania, or maybe St. Francis. Honestly, the only thing I dont like is having to pay out-of-state tuition simply because the main campus is in Maryland. On the other hand, classes are actually really cheap, Im only paying about $350 per 3 credit class (that’s with the discount for early college students)</p>
<p>In California, at least, most community colleges offer courses for both types of students. [Welcome</a> to ASSIST](<a href=“http://www.assist.org%5DWelcome”>http://www.assist.org) lists articulation agreements with UCs and CSUs to help community college students plan their courses to prepare for transfer. However, the problem at some community colleges is that they are oversubscribed, so that waiting lists for some popular courses can be very long.</p>
<p>In California, community colleges sometimes model their courses and curricula on a nearby UC or CSU, so looking at the community colleges local to the desired UC or CSU is more likely to find one with the best course coverage for that UC’s or CSU’s courses (e.g. Laney and Diablo Valley for UC Berkeley, and Cuesta for Cal Poly San Luis Obispo).</p>
<p>In most cases, the transfer path from a community college is easiest to a state university in the same state. If you go to a web site of a state university, you can search for “transfer credit” to find course articulation agreements. A few states even arrange for all of the state universities and community colleges to have the same course numbers for courses that are supposed to be the same. If you wish to transfer to a school that does not have an articulation agreement with the community college (e.g. private schools or out of state schools in many cases), transfer credit will likely have to be evaluated individually.</p>
<p>Investment banking employers tend to be rather school-prestige conscious, but many of their favorite schools do not accept that many transfer students.</p>
