<p>Every Professor at UCSD has told me the same thing, and studies back this up. Transfers do better than students who go straight to UC’s out of high school. They tend to be more motivated and know what they want and don’t waste time. Most people who were at my CC didn’t get rejected from a university right out of high school. Many are older folks going back to school, or people who decided or had to work full-time or former military or like in my case just didn’t feel ready right out of high school…</p>
