“What percent of the students who started out in your class are still there?”

I’m not sure, there aren’t any official statistics. The only thing I have is that anyone with a 3.5 or higher GPA and 12 units gets on the President’s (Dean’s) list.

“What percent of the folks who say they plan on transferring actually do?”

A good amount of them. It takes some people 3-4 years, and about 20-30% of the students are re-entry or just need classes for another college.

“Where do you want to transfer to?”

Reaches: Rice, Northwestern, Berkeley
Matches: UCLA, Richmond, Michigan, UVA
Safeties: UCSD, Wisconsin, UBC (British Columbia)

“How expensive is it OOS?”

About $1300 a semester including books. It’s about $500 a semester for a resident like me.

“Could I gain residency by going to a CC?”

Not in California, and I suspect not in other states either.
