The best doctor I ever had got his degree in Senegal
The best dentist I ever had didn't go to an elite university for college and dental school either. People can succeed from any college.
@@MrDodger3222 Good medical professionals have excellent social skills, are life-long learners, and put patient need before their own.
What was Her Name ?
I’m from there lmao
SAME BRO. In high school all my friends were talking about how they all needed to go to top schools and I felt the same pressure too. Now at CC, im working to transfer because of my own personal reasons, not because of the name brand of the school like you said. Thanks for this video.
Colorado College?
Central Connecticut

"the quality of people you meet". this really stuck with me. thanks for the video! i'll take everything u said with a grain of salt.
My dad always tells me “it’s much more about the student than it is about the school.” I live in Montana and will probably go to Montana State University next year. It’s not as prestigious as some of the schools my friends are going to, but being closer to my family and the in state tuition just makes it the better choice for me. My dream is to go to medical school, and my dad, who is a doctor, told me that some of the smartest people in his med school class were from small state schools and places he had never even heard of.
Great Video! Fact: Its unlikely that you will get into Google or Facebook etc without going to a top school. Fact. However, after 5 years it won't matter. After 5 years employers want to look at your CV to gauge what you have done. What's also fact is that when you get to Stanford and get a job at google everyone will be from a top school. Then after a few years, you'll find out that there are people a lot smarter and more politically savvy than you and they will get promoted. Google can't promote everyone, so after 5 years your Standford degree won't help you. This is why when they do satisfaction surveys of alumni of top students after about 10 years these students are less likely to be satisfied. Whereas students from lesser schools are much happier. For example, the highest-paid attorneys in America are NOT from Ivy League schools. The best attorneys go to modest law schools and are much happier. Choose a school that is best for you! Period.
I think the prestige of a school is overrated. It doesn't really matter where you go. All universities follow the same curriculum. You can get an education that's just as great at Michigan State and UW-Madison like you would at Stanford or Harvard. Of course most people would choose to go to Stanford or Harvard if accepted but let's face it, most people don't have a chance getting into these elite schools so these people including me have to settle for lower name universities.
I agree to an extent. When it comes to graduating and competing for a job, prestige can help get your foot in the door, but what really makes a difference is the networking aspect which is tied to the university. Prestigious universities usually have more networking opportunities than their less selective counterparts. At the end of the day though, the prestige of the institution you attended shouldn't dictate your success post graduation, your competence does.
@@carlosc.4683 Of course if it's somewhere like Stanford, certain employers recruit graduates from the school. But employers usually don't care where you got your degree from. Hell, there's plenty of people with degrees that are working jobs that don't even require a degree.
IMHO, when it come to these huge grant colleges, the education standard rivals harvard and you can tell the quality of student by their Gpa. I am sure if you get a good gpa in medicine or law in these so called bad unis, you can into a good medical school or decent law firm
Yea you could go to a good school like UCLA or UT Austin or a underrated school like Rowan University and you will get the same degree no matter
4:30 RIP KOBE
And Gigi...
Kobe, Gigi, and everyone else in the helicopter, right?
ya man that's why I'm transferring to a better University
Hey man your videos are awesome and gives me motivation to keep maintaining my 4.00 gpa at CC. I just have 1 question does it matter how many years you spend in CC? I will spend approx 3 years at CC because I didn't take much courses 1 full year because of unusal circumstances. Does big universities see the how many years u spent?
I don't think 3 years will matter too much. You'll likely be fine mayne, especially if you elaborate on the extenuating circumstances.
@@alienwarex51i3 Got it Bro. Thanks
Universities will look at how you've changed as a student during the 3 year period. "Did this student have an upward trajectory" "did they take up extra courses to round out their education" "did they find a focus" "how close are they with the professors"
@Tuperwear really? Can you elaborate on this please? I'm a junior in Highschool, and I'm in a stem program taking ethical hacking and csp. I want to go to a CC and transfer to my dream school USC. But is it really gonna take 3 years at a CC for a stem major? A reply would mean so much to me!
@@j3s333 as a stem major who went in with credit from 2 ap exams that let me skip 3 classes, and college courses I took in highschool the answer is usually yes, but it is possible to do it in 2 if you get lucky with the courses offered and take summer winter courses
I think it’s a little far fetched to go from talking about those who are stupid to those who are attending community college for a long time. You don’t know that guys story maybe he has kids has to work his way & save up for university i don’t think it’s sad to attend community college for a while everyone has a different story.
It took me 5 years to graduate and earn all units needed to transfer to university at community college. But this is because I wanted to have the maximum of 64 units to transfer with to save money. I was only averaging 6 units a quarter because I was working full time. I wasn't clear at first if I wanted to earn a AA degree and transfer. I was just taking random classes and going as a drop in during my first 5 quarters or so. I failed 2 classes, dropped 4 or 5 classes, changed my major once and had to take a few remedial classes in Math and English since my placement test scores sucked which also delayed my time to transfer. I think this explains very well why I was at community college for so long lol. I still finished with a 3.2 GPA at community college and my time there prepared me great for Arizona State. I finished in 4 semesters at ASU, finished with a BA and a minor with high honors with a 3.75 GPA!! But if I could back in time and do community college all over again, the things I would do differently is that I would have taken at least 12 units a quarter, gone to summer school every year taking 5 to 8 units, hired a tutor to prepare for the Math and English placement tests, studied exactly how the tutor would teach me, would have gone to tutoring a lot more and would have had my educational plan set right when I started college. I would have finished sooner and with a better GPA. But if I go to grad school, I'm going to do a lot better this time around!!
Meh... Go to the school where you can do well and get the best degree possible in terms of personal interest and ROI. I wish someone given me this advice when I was 17. Look, I'll prefer my child attend earn a degree in Computer science and graduates with a 3.9 GPA than attend Princeton or Brown and earn a degree in Dance. There is always grad school if you're looking for prestige. I know many people that graduated from lowly ranked schools and still got into HBS, medical school, etc.
facts bro. U go to a top 25 u gonna be in a lot of debt. the point of cc is to limit debt.
Debt not bad if u know how to leverage it
I needed to hear this
I just wanna go to a prestigious school for the other students. They are always incredible and have the same personality. Friend for life material right there
I plan to attend UW-Madison and major in economics with a minor in international business and/or international relations, i plan to focus on south korean relations with the us and will study abroad for a full school year at yonsei university in seoul, is madison prestigious enough? I know that economics is one of their strongest programs
and that's on periodt
actually it depends where you live, in Arizona, there's a lot of people who got a job with WGU degrees, associates degrees, or just experience maybe because it is easier to get a job in Arizona compared to California. But I think you need to go to a prestigious school if you're becoming a doctor in Arizona.
As someone who lives in Fairfield County Connecticut, I agree with this video, but I can say I go to a very competitive high school. But not necessarily ivy league competitive. Some of the most popular schools from my HS include Tulane, BC, BU, Northeastern, University of Michigan, UMiami, and UT Austin. All of which accept less than 50% of their applicants.
But some of the most popular schools from my HS also include Elon University, University of Colorado, Penn State, Indiana University, UConn, and Syracuse all of which accept more than 50% of their applicants.
But that doesn’t mean it’s still not competitive, everyone at my HS obsesses over it.
Not to sound arrogant but I’m not qualified to go to a top 10 or 25 university. But I’ve been eyeing schools with less than a 70% acceptance rate.
The reason for that is because everyone at my HS get turned off by 80%+ acceptance rates, and True Story, I’ve witnessed a student being laughed at and made fun of for Indiana and UConn being her top choices and while witnessing this, I thought to myself damn, next year, I don’t want to be made fun of for choosing a school which is too easy to get into.
Hey! I like your videos. Can you tell what cc do you recommend (I from Russia). But I need cc that provides transfer to 4-year university. Thanks in advance
Very broad question.What state,city...
Having a high GPA is far more important than what CC you attend.
I've personally heard that santa monica community college is pretty great and the professors are cooperative.

Google reviews ain't that bad
reddit is not a bad place either
If you have any questions just comment ur question and I'll answer
@@karimhemadeh2656 What exams do I need to take?(SAT)
@Hyon j Kim Thank you a lot. It's very hard to find information by myself since I'm Russian so I don't figure out in American schools
yo deadass i rlly want to transfer from cc to USC in 1 year, but I'm just so goddamn scared of the classes there with classes being so damn hard, any advice?
Work hard man, that’s all it takes. Ambition, discipline, and effort are all it takes. Never give up and accept every failure is a success because of the lessons learned.
The intro courses at USC are probably equally difficult to any major institution in the country. Certainly, your major will influence the level of difficulty (e.g film vs engineering). Once you get deeper into your major, you will benefit from the smaller class size and faculty with industry knowledge.

As a University of Southern California (USC) alum, I can tell you that a good work ethic is imperative. The professors are laid back and supportive. But, you have to invest the time in your studies to succeed. They won't cut any slack. They'll give you what you earn. The curriculum isn't that taxing, unless you're in a program like engineering. Just apply yourself and you'll be fine. Good luck. FIGHT ON!
Don’t worry you will be fine if you just do your work that’s necessary. A lot of my friends came from cc and did just fine at USC. Good luck!
@@SC-bc2yh I think community colleges prepare students good for the top universities. Community college prepared me great for Arizona State. I thought ASU was easier than community college and I graduated with high honors.
I don't think the college you go to matters when it comes to studying and getting a degree, it's just the degree you get for employment matters. Because for every college, depending on what you study, all college professors will probably teach the course in a similar way to other college professors
Your undergrad isn’t as important as your terminal degree (E.g. PhD, MD, etc.) since that informs your career.
I do wanna go to a good school(Oxford), I really like the school. It not necessarily but I like the local area and seams like a lot of people like it, I find the place cool not because it a good school but the school itself.
Samuel, hey. Before entering college learning to write Standard English would do one well. Good luck. And good knight/nite/night...
What about cost I have the opportunity to go to a top 22 business school but it’s 55k a year and they didn’t offer me any financial aid
Does it mean the world to you to pay an entity a fortune, especially if it won't guarantee a return on your $140,000.00 investment (tuition, books, room, board, school fees ones related to professional associations, health insurance, home/job interview travel expenses, business attire, etc.)? If not, why not go to a state school? Join professional organizations in your field. Read books and articles and explore social media that give advice on getting top jobs in your field without having a prestige degree. Etc. "Top 22 business schools" mean little to me, ME, unless you're referencing Stanford, Chicago, Yale, Virginia (Darden), Dartmouth, Columbia, Wharton (U PA), Harvard and others in the top-10.
7 years at comm college haha holy man
I have 20 min to accept my UCLA intend to register but I won’t. I would rather go to SJSU that’s in the heart of Silicon Valley and you can find jobs faster!! UCLA is not a great school for CE.
What 2nd tier Universities can I get into without a GED , High School Diploma , Community College , or any of that other low grade garbage?
