Community College is a do-over, basically. If you score a good GPA, you can transfer to a good and well-respected college. I am more familiar with UC/CSU transfer (since I’m Californian) but I do know that Cornell University, an Ivy-League institution, has a habit of accepting a lot of New York transfer students. Maybe someone more familiar with transfer options in NY can help you.

The 2+4 plan is bad because you’d be wasting two years and money at community college. Now that I think about it, a gap year may not be a bad thing for you if you are using it to figure out what you’d like to do with your life (taking internships, shadowing, etc) but I am not sure if you are planning on doing that or using it as a chance to get into a 4 year university. Prior to finishing community college, you should really have a major decided and the pre-reqs completed. I am not sure how it is in New York but in California, almost all of the schools do not accepted undecided transfer students therefore meaning that all transfer students need their major decided prior to matriculation.

Thank you, and you’re very helpful as we’re on similar boats. But what about that undergraduate stuff Madeline said? If I do 2 + 4 besides the money problems, why would I be Undergraduate after 6 years? I know community college is most likely my best route at the moment, but I’m wondering if I can do a 4 year thing off the bat. That’s just a what if, my main plan(s) include to save money and work for a year, @ gap year if I do it… Also I wouldn’t know how to job shadow during that year however, but I’d have a bit of extra time to think.
