I'm not sure if i'll take this path, but who knows what'll happen by the time I graduate HS. This path honestly sounds amazing, but it might not be for me. I'm glad you found your own success, it's really reassuring to me.
I'm currently a community college student looking to transfer to NAU next fall as a mechanical engineering major. What would be a good range of credits to transfer over? NAU has a 90-30 program that allows me to transfer up to 90 credits. However, I'm not sure if my major applies for the program. I currently have 58 transferable credits, and only want to transfer up to 70 credits, but I don't know if that's too much. Btw love the videos! There isn't enough appreciation for community college, as it's a great financial option for those who want to go to college.
Stay in the range of 60-70 credits, that’s the standard range. Unless you want to finish more of your degree off at CC but you have to make sure all your units transfer - might be tricky with upper division classes. Appreciate the support 🤝
Hi was wondering if there is an higher chance of being accepted into an UC if you went to CC versus just graduated out of high school. Also thx for the helpful advice in the video.
The major difference for getting accepted to a UC from hs vs cc is that for community college they accept people by their major. This can play to your advantage or disadvantage as the acceptance rate for business at UC Berkeley is ~3% but if you apply as economics the acceptance rate is ~15% and getting in as a Spanish major is ~50%. UCs also prioritize who they accept as transfers by #1 cc students #2 uc/cal state students #3 other private schools. This plays a major factor as to getting into a UC as a transfer.
If I have poor stats and apply for physics major, would I likely to be accepted if I transfer? The catch is the acceptance rate for transfer with that major is 28.9%
Make sure you finish your last semesters at CC very strong. If you can finish with A’s (mutivariable calculus, differential equations, physics e&m, modern physics, linear algebra) then your chance of getting into LA and Berkeley will be much higher-it can even make up for an overall low gpa. If you’re set on physics, make sure you apply to physics REU’s (as a cc student) throughout California and the US for the Summer 2024 season as well. Also, in the case you don’t get into Berkeley or LA for Physics, another UC or CSU where there isn’t grade deflation will still help you out a ton-grad schools for physics pay attention to overall university GPA & research experience.
Less applicants and schools prioritize accepting community college students over other four year universities. Also acceptance are based on major so for my year ucla and uc berkeley had like a 50% acceptance rate for Spanish majors.
@@adamramirez1 still wondering why they prioritize cc. If the acceptance rate is that high for your major couldn't you have transferred from your original school? Congrats tho UCLA is great.
Universities usually have commitments to prioritize community college students from their state. Some universities even have guaranteed admissions for community college students again from their state. It’s a pipeline system since all schools have transfer students.

i had a 3.3 GPA in high school too and similar SAT score 😢😢😂 i did some clubs but nothing spectacular!!
thank you for making these vids!
Gotchu fam 💯

3.3 is good more so if you went to a good school 😊

Also even if people say that I have “very low” chance, i still try to take a shot as first-time and if i get rejected than i can transfer from cc
You can check the average gpa for that major to see how you stack up. Also, you can write some amazing essays to compensate for underwhelming stats.
Good plan, two chances 👍🏽

@@matthewzarate8851 What if I got few Bs? Just wondering
Should I go to ucla or cal??? Got into both.
Both are great schools. It’s all about fit and figuring out which school is gonna put you in a better position to achieve your next goals.
what did u major in big bro
Political Economy and ISF - going into finance now
why does community college increase your chance at getting in transfer
Less applicants and schools prioritize accepting community college students over other four year universities.
Also acceptance are based on major so for my year ucla and uc berkeley had like a 50% acceptance rate for Spanish majors.
