Hello together,

As a prospective international student I will start my undergraduate education in a Community College (Grossmont) for my freshmen and sophomore year the following Fall. I will want to transfer and major in a Business/Econ program in one of the following schools:


NYU
Columbia GS
UPenn Wharton
USC
UCLA


There are certain articulation agreements (like IGETC for UCLA, or a specific one for USC) for certain schools, but I realize that a school like Columbia GS might have a total different approach than a California school to what courses they accept.

From what I have been reading, it seems like if a Community College student (like myself) wants to transfer after 2 years, it’s best to take a solid liberal arts curriculum instead of taking too many major related courses. Is this true?

Any info, tipps & input on how I can prepare best to transfer to these Universities highly appreciated.
