Hi all, need some advice as well.

As my daughter,s score on SAT was not superb, she finally decided to go to a California CC first for the 2 years and then transfer to UCs or other better rank universities in other states during the remaining 2 years. So far she has in mind Foothill/De Anza, Diablo Valley college, and College of San Mateo/Canada College.

My questions are:

1. Which of the above community colleges has a better reputation and better transfer rate to top or better ranking universities?

2. I heard that some California CC has a transfer admission gaurantee(TAG) agreement with UCs and CSUs, how does that work?

3. If my daughter wants to transfer to UW after 2 years, is it better to go to a Washington CC instead? However, my rationale to choose a California CC is that my daughter will have a better chance to go to a California University (just on public universities there is already 9 UCs and 23 CSUs. Even if she choose those at higher tiers, there are still 4-5 UCs and CSUs to choose from? But in Washington, the best known ones are UW & WSU only).

4. How are the chance like if my daughter study at a California CC and transfer to UW versus study at a Washington CC and transfer to UW after 2 years?

Thank for your advice in advance!
