Why do people seem to suggest gap year over community college?

<p>Okay fine, as I said slice the numbers any way you want, but at least 5,000 kids per year go into MCC with the promise that they will/can transfer to UCLA or USC. Check the actual transfers to those schools to see my point. In MCC’s case it’s 91 to UCLA and 23 to USC in 2010 out of many many thousands. This is the top CC transfer in California. </p>

<p>CC transfer to a top 4-year is slim to zero odds and it’s a lie that is told and retold. Check your own local CC’s transfer rate (and transfer location) to see if I’m wrong.</p>
