<p>cool beans - Numbers speak louder than words. And it’s unfair to say that just because they go to a CC they are more “mature”. Just because someone’s “more experienced in life” does not mean they’ll do better in engineering. A good GPA and scores means you’ll do well in engineering. Besides, they do make attractive transfer candidates, which is why I support the CAS agreement, other than the fact that its totally guarenteed. Like I said in my last post, i’m not bashing any of the CCers. I have plenty of friends trying to transfer. But this whole thing started when I was disscussing the transfer agreements with other schools besides CAS, because quite frankly someone who has had a year or two under their belt strictly in a specialized degree program such as artitechture, engineering, or even nursing, will most likely do better in that field than someone who has an associates in another field. Now, that will not always be 100% true, but it will be true most of the time. That was my point: I don’t think there should be auto-admittance into those types of schools.
And frankly, its none of your business of why im “asking for more”. I’m trying to find a college that fits me and I will do well with in life. I have perfectly sound, legitimate reasons for my want to transfer, and I refuse to address any more of your posts because we’re so off topic, and because of that comment. </p>
<p>supernova - Oh dear. And, for a side/background note: Centreville is in NoVa. Not sure how many people would know that on here, but I happen to live about 10minutes from the other “C’ville” and its a pretty wealthy area in some parts. Sort of brings to my mind that good ole NoVa is once again flexing its muscles in the education world. My question is, how on earth can they guarentee 75% enroll? You could essentially admit 75%, but then not all may accept. So, in the end, I would think that admissions would be broken down into 1:5 OOS to IS ratio. Crazy. It will be interesting to see if this is followed by an increase in state funding to its universities.</p>
