Looking for the a CC which offers/has high transfer rates to UC's.

What California CC has the highest transfer acceptance rates to UC's? Or what is a Community College in the Los Angeles area that offers the best curriculum for a transfer to University of Southern California, University of California: Los Angeles, Berkeley, Irvine, Santa Barbara, or San Diego? I'm moving to California for the Spring semester or winter quarter for California I assume. I want to pick the best Community College that offers me a greater chance in being accepted as a transfer to the schools mentioned before.

~Thanks

Santa Monica College, Pasadena City College, and Los Angeles Pierce College are among the best. SMC offers the most courses and has the highest amount of transfers to UCLA out of the three I believe. Look on assist.org to see which college has the most courses articulated for your major.

It does not matter what the name of the CC is, just that you complete as much of your major preparation possible and maintain a competitive GPA. That being said, larger CC's offer more courses and flexibility. They also may offer courses needed for your major that other, smaller CC's don't offer. Some CCC's participate in a TAP program for Berkeley which I believe guarantees admission. However, I think you have to be low-income and there are other requirements.

How low of an income? My parents are well below the National Average Income. I suppose I could maybe be eligible for the TAP program. My parents income overall is Below $35,000. I assume that's very low. I'm a student striving to become big and help out my parents who have help me out a lot.

Also what schools has the best Medical School or most reputable?

I assume I'm going to apply of Santa Monica Community College, but I will look at the other schools mentioned, because distance can play a factor. I don't want to go to far from the residence. Gas nowadays can be a killer and especially with my financial situation I can't afford to over waste.

Santa Monica College is ranked the best. but it has like a high interenational student population that might distort their transfer rates higher. Orange Coast College and Saddleback College are good schools too.
