I know someone who transferred from Foothill Community College, and got into Berkeley. The UC system seems to appreciate Community College transcripts. Ask El Camino what 4-year colleges and universities they might have relationships with. I know that Grinnell College has a special relationship with DMACC - a community college in Des Moines, and they are making it easier to transition from the community college environment to the private liberal arts college. Outside of special relationships, you would be applying as a transfer student, and colleges do take transfers.
