Community College vs University

In short, yes. I transferred out of UF this past year (I start at Stanford this fall) and I think my 4.0 at UF was an important part of my success. Now, I do not know if I would’ve been as successful with a 4.0 from a community college but I don’t think so. What I do know is that SATs are less important in the former case because you have indicated what you can accomplish at an accredited university. If you have a 4.0 from a community college, your SATs are more important because the workload is drastically different in a community college than it is at a top-notch university (although this may not be true, it is certainly the perception).

Regardless, if you’re a Florida resident it’s a no-brainer as Bright Futures pretty much pays for everything. Good luck, PM me if you want any more information.
