Will 4 year universities (the main schools I want to attend are higher tier SUNY schools like Stony Brook, Binghamton, Buffalo, and Albany, or any UC school) actually consider and/or accept my application just based on ONE semester of community college if my GPA is high?

UC schools only consider transfers with junior status. They don’t actually care how much time you have spent at a CC, just that you have enough units to qualify as a junior. So if you have enough units because of AP then you can transfer in 1 year.

Also keep in mind that the UC system does not give any financial aid for the OOS tuition.

They both tell me that if I get a good GPA on just the first semester of community college, I can use that to apply to 4 year universities

Timing may be a little off here. Apps are likely due before you get your grades in January. I guess you could apply in the fall on the assumption you’ll get good grades, which they will see when you send them your mid-year update in Jan.
