CA community college students add to the fabric of our UC community and arrive at our campuses with the intellectual passion to graduate and succeed. Home Requirements Transfer requirements Transfer requirements Nearly a third of our students started out at community college.
And with a little planning, you could join them. Get a head start on your transfer Community college is a smart choice. Who can transfer? I think they give more priority to incoming freshmen and transfers from California Community Colleges. Over the last 10 years, it seemed to go away from that as the years went on little by little until we got where we are today.
My D is graduating from HS early and can probably get into a UC but wants to start college in the spring You apply as something like "other than freshman. Hi, the process will be the same as it would be for kids transferring from community college who do not go through the "guaranteed admission" transfer process; if she's considering Berkeley or UCLA, community college students never have a guaranteed admission so for those two schools the transfer process is the same no matter where they are transferring from.
Best of luck to her. After completing one semester at Bennington College, one at Goddard College two very alternative schools that use narrative over letter grades and three at Laney, my daughter has been unable to find out which of the CSU's or UC's will accept her credits. The UC staff she's spoken with have been discouraging about the transferability of her Goddard credits, but SF State seemed to indicate, when we checked with them in , that they'd allow them. College counselors she's consulted have not been able to advise her.
We are starting to wonder if it might be wiser to apply to private colleges and hope the financial aid we might be eligible for would cover the difference in tuitions.
You are right to check private college transfer requirements, because it may be possible to finish in two years as a transfer student when it often can take three at a UC or CSU.
Scholarships alone will not make a private college's cost of attendance comparable to UC's and CSU's. Your daughter should start with a counselor at Laney to assess her progress with IGETC, the fulfillment of general education undergraduate requirements for UC's. Prestige counts more in areas where skills are hard to measure — how to you hire a great liberal-arts major for your business? However areas like CS are different. Employers cast a much wider net, both because skills can be measured and because of the scarcity of CS majors no scarcity of History or Poli Sci majors.
Employers look at things mostly under your control, grades and internships. The kid that has done nothing but take classes and earn a CS degree from UCLA is a much less desireable candidate than one that has spent 2 summers working in industry.
I suggest you meet with the faculty advisor and find out what you need to do to land such a job after the end of your soph year. In the end nobody has a crystal ball. LB is a good school.
