<p>I disagree with T26E4. I had GREAT high school grades (accepted to Univ of FL, FSU, UCF & UNF) but expenses helped make my decision to go to CC and then transfer (it was half the cost, plus I could live at home). I did great in CC, I got a 3.7 and then decided to transfer to UCF (LOVED the campus), where I also did great (graduated with a 3.9). Now I am going to graduate school at NYU on a scholarship. Not everyone at community college goes because they never graduate high school. That statement is very ignorant. Many students choose CC as a lower cost option or an option to raise their grades and get into a better school later.</p>
<p>OP, there is no average GPA for CC though. It all depends what school you want to transfer to. I had a 3.7 and was accepted (again) to all state schools in FL but chose UCF because it offered my major. Anything over 3.2 and you should get into a state school.</p>
