<p>Hey ZFG, nice to see you on my board for a change. I’ll try to give some of that nice UCLA-board hospitality i find lacking on the USC board ;)</p>
<p>As far as SMC goes, they certainly DO have the highest transfer rate to UCLA. What they DON’T tell you, is that they also have the most applicants. SMC has plenty of rejects to UCLA, and there’s plenty of people who got into UCLA without going to SMC. AFAIK, it has no special agreement with UCLA for admitting students, so her odds are just as good there as anywhere else. </p>
<p>I went to LACC and it was a pretty decent school when i was going there, but more and more funding is getting cut every year, so all the CCs are suffering. It’s a great, diverse school with lots of professors though, so i wouldn’t knock it down.</p>
<p>SMC is a big school, and classes might be easier to get there than at other CCs, but i don’t go there, nor do i know anyone else who does. If you don’t mind being a bit personal, you could always go down to campus, and ask certain students how easy/difficult it is for them to get their classes (iirc you live in LA)</p>
<p>One thing i want to let you know is that UCLA’s nursing program is EXTREMELY competitive. It has only a 12% admit rate</p>

<p>so if she wants to get in, she’s going to have to work very hard and make herself look competitive.</p>
