visitnigReally depends on your community college and course credit equivalencies, intended major, and of course work drive. I just transferred to UCLA this past year after 2 years of CC and also accepted at Berkeley, Vanderbilt, and USC. I personally went to 3 different community colleges since sometimes class timing/credit transferring/maxing out the courses I was allowed to take just to get it done. If your number 1 goal in CC is to get out of there, and make friends who share the same goal, you should be fine in California at least because of the transfer agreements with TOP UCs
This is my plan.
I have been out of school and in the work force for a couple years now. What I'm wondering is, do those schools consider "extra curricular activities" in the same way that schools do for non transfer (high school) students? I'm trying to figure out how to swing CC and work financially and I'm wondering if it is worth it to quit and get a more flexible job so that I can do things that would be considered "extra curricular" in the eyes of college administrators -- GPA and test scores aside of course.
I remember college admissions in high school and it seemed ridiculous to me how much emphasis colleges put on extra curricular activities.
I will be shooting for Electrical or Civil Engineering, depending on my math aptitude.
