Community College tips to successfully transfer out... (top 25 universities) 

Yeah they do prioritize people from CA, you can move to a California school though 👀

Yes, there are older students and they fit well in school culture but like anyone it’s up to you to get engaged with on-campus organizations. So advice would be to exercise these opportunities to join on campus organizations bc it’s really what makes the experience. Good luck with admission coming out soon!

What major are you?

It will be nursing.

It’s highly recommended that you have them complete. As long as you have igetc complete you’re good but I’d plan to get it done if it’s required. It’s probably gonna be harder if you wait till UC to take it too

@@adamramirez1 I found some community colleges that offer the calc 2 and 3 classes fully online and they are easy. If I take courses from multiple community colleges will it look bad when i apply?

@@mainaccountforonline8558no lol. shows you’re determined to find other ways to get classes.

So important to join campus organizations to acclimate to the school and make friends. Join as many as you can and most importantly be active in them. You should be fine socially if you do that!!

@@adamramirez1 Do you think I would be fine if I’m transferring into a university as an athlete because like you said junior already have their groups?

@@rafaeliraheta6752 might be better as an athlete because you have a built in friend group. (Assuming your team is close)

It’s never too late to go back. I would apply to the closest cc to you (although some cc are better than others) There’s a website called I think California community college where you can get started. Not too sure about financial aid but it’s pretty affordable.

@@adamramirez1 thanks for the help and sorry if I'm asking too much, but since I'm new to this, does it matter where I go for engineering? I saw the UC website saying that you need lab experience in your required science classes for transferring but I don't know if that'll be available at every CC. I have yet to pick days to take time off work to visit the CC campuses and find my fit Will age affect my transfer? Will being old reflect negatively for a selective school like Harvey Mudd/Irvine or should I keep my expectations low? I'll still of course try as many schools as I can with safeties but Harvey Mudd would be nice

@@delgande age does not play a factor in admission. Harvey mudd is a great school but if you’re looking for the best bang for your buck I would like at cal state and UC schools since tuition is more affordable. There are certain classes like biology where you take lab with the class. All community college should offer the classes needed to transfer, for the most part at least.

Just matters about the grades & fulfilling the transfer requirements at community college

It doesn't matter if you take some super hard math if your major is something unrelated. Just meet your requirement with an achievable A so that your GPA is as high as can be. Why stress yourself taking every hard class when you can focus extra hard on your major requirements and spend extra energy on things like extracurriculars and the like

Every school has diff requirements. I’d check the schools website

Nope, no more SAT

But what if you don’t get into csu and ucs after two years in community @adamramirez1

You can still get scholarships but fafsa im not too sure

I only applied to cal states and ucs. Got into all except sdsu

Yeah scholarships do help a lot.

@@adamramirez1ok so look right I wanna go to trade school then community college get my credits up and get some scholarships then go to a 4 year.

@@Drew-my4ej trade school for what training?

@@adamramirez1 Electrician trade

@@adamramirez1I got some scholarships to go to an HBCU when I was in high school but my GPA wasn’t there and I wanna go to trade school first cause like I need money right now frl plus going to an HBCU is expensive af. I’m just confused about how to get to a 4 year I was in the marching band for 5 years and I wanted to go to an HBCU to participate in a marching band but I couldn’t go cause of my GPA. And I just don’t know how to get there there’s money I need scholarships and I just don’t know how to plan it and what to focus on.
