<p>Lazy Kid - Um, getting a start at a community college means nothing. People who do one year at a CC then transfer to Cornell are just as prepared upon graduation as those who started there. Otherwise they couldn’t have made it through three years at Cornell and graduated. The original point of my post was that graduating from Cornell gives you a more well-rounded education than graduating from a community college. Transferring from the CC to Cornell negates my argument.</p>
<p>Polarscribe - I didn’t receive a nursing degree before applying to the grad school, nor did any of the other applicants. I wasn’t saying “my ivy league nursing beats your CC nursing.” The applicants had GENERAL EDUCATION degrees from community colleges, and were applying to a BSN program. Neither of us had nursing experience. Under than scenario, I think my 3.6 BS from Cornell should have trumped the 3.7 from a community college associate’s degree based on GPA alone.</p>
