I would check the track record of the community college you’re interested in. See what schools students have successfully transferred into and the trends for transfer credit acceptance. If both fit your interests, do your best to take intensive courses (nothing more than you can handle or you’ll be hurting yourself and your chances) and get as close to a 4.0 as possible. Otherwise, consider similar options at a cheap state school.

It is possible to transfer after a year at some colleges. Depends on the program. If you can meet the requirements in a year and they allow for soph. transfers go for it. I know programs (UVA McIntire, for example) that only accept junior transfers. Best of luck.
