<p>Life advice! Posted this earlier but got no feedback...need help w/ college options... </p>

<p>Good evening everyone. I'm a high school senior and I've sent in all my applications (yay!). Not exactly looking for more schools, just wanted advice with my options.</p>

<p>OK, I'm a CA resident and my favorite schools are in the UC system. I applied to UCB, UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, and UCD. I'm expecting to get accepted to UCSD, UCSB, and UCD and rejected to UCLA and UCB. </p>

<p>Here's my question: Should I A) go to a school like UCSB next year or B) go a community college for 2yrs then transfer to a school like UCLA. The ONLY reason I'm not getting into UCLA/UCB now is because I don't have the SAT numbers (GPA, EC's, etc. are all very solid.) I'd like it at UCSB, but all I have to do is save a ton of money and wait 2 years to go to UCLA. Though decision...what are your opinions?</p>

<p>if there is a rule that from a cc u can get into ucla, then do it
for example in maryland if u get a 2.5 or higher at montgimery college(a nearby junior college) then u must be accepted to maryland by law</p>

<p>There is no rule set in stone to transfer to UCLA, but I'd feel confident about getting in as a transfer. UC's only look at your community college GPA and essays when you apply as a transfer, and I would be feeling good about that. Basically, I could go to UCSB, UCD, etc. now or wait 2 years then go to UCLA or UCB. Any opinions? I could really use advice from current UCLA students. Would it be worth waiting 2 years at a CCC? Thanks!</p>
