Apply to Top school or transfer from CC

<p>Hi all,
Which is easier?</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Applying directly to a top school ex: cornell, stanford, yale after high school (I do the IB programme)</p></li>
<li><p>Entering a community college at grade 10, doing 2 years there then transferring to a top university</p></li>
</ol>

<p>I got 50/56 on my last IB myp term, an academic scholarship student at my school, but I just want a more diverse experience, and was wondering which option would be easier.</p>

<p>By the way, I am from Hong Kong.</p>
