Thank you for all of the responses. I will be taking the AP tests in both AP Calc BC and AP Lit before this year (and got 5s on both AP Calc AB and AP Lang in my junior year). Would the path of Rutgers (1 year) -> CCC (1 year) -> UC help lower the cost of attending a UC? That would be a weird sell to my parents though, who look down on community colleges in general since our local one has a mediocre reputation.
