Hello everyone!

A little info about me, I graduated in 2014 and have been working ever since to support my family. Now that alot of things are starting to settle down I would finally be able to start attending college in 2017. I would love to go to columbia gs but I do understand that my GPA leaves alot to be desired so my best route would be to transfer there beginning my junior year…

that leaves me with the question on where to take my two years of college. Should I go to a four year university (university of Houston) or a community college (Lone Star College - Montgomery ). Obviously I’d like to go to LSC to save money but would it hurt my chances of getting accepted to Columbia if i do so? Is it more attractive transferring from a four year university?

Anything else i should prepare for other than working my butt off?

My stats:

GPA: 3.5 (came to this country my senior year so no AP’s) very frustrated with this because a 3.5 gpa would put me in all the best colleges back in my country. but that’s just me being a sour grape
SAT: 2200 (i’ll take it again when the time gets closer)

Thank you for your time.
