Gumbymom have you seen students leave a 4 year school in their or after their 3rd semester of school (good grades, just unsatisfied with the experience), transfer to a CC (we are CA residents) and then successfully transfer in to a UC like UCLA? Will they be considered a CC student even though they are just transferring to a CC as they apply? We are working with a puzzle over here on how to get a good student back to California and trying to be creative. thanks!
