Question about going from a UC to a CC?

I have to agree with @lindyk8. I was accepted into UCI, UCSB, and UCR last year but instead of going to any of those, I decided to just head straight to CC, regardless of what my peers and mentors thought (many of which discouraged me and pushed me to go to one of the UCs). However, I had my head set on what I wanted, and what I wanted was to transfer to UCLA or UCB in 1 year, and I accomplished that.

I think if I headed to one of those UCs with the mindset that I would not like it, or I would prefer another UC, I know that I will for sure not like it – like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

If I were you, and since you were accepted to UCR, I know you will find CC to be a piece of cake if you organize your schedule well. If your major isn’t Bio/Engineering, then you could well transfer in 1 year, and I am positive you have some AP credits under your sleeve.

You should find the 1 year to UCLA thread and find advice there. Also, you will save the trouble and money from spending 1 semester at UCR.

Don’t let the stigma of CC or the stigma from your family/peers decide for you.
