Which is better: Cc to Ivy or UC to Ivy?

There are two strategies to consider:

  1. Community College then transfer somewhere, leaving open a lot of options including places that have articulation agreements with that CC and wild cards such as the various Ivy and Ivy-peer institutions. Here is a recent thread that might interest you http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/transfer-students/1783917-community-college-to-the-ivy-league-two-year-testimonial-p1.html

  2. Best affordable 4-year college or university where you would be happy to finish your degree if the transfer applications don’t work out.

Either strategy can work well. Just remember that neither route guarantees success at transferring into X unless X does guarantee transfer admissions from Y and you decide to begin at Y.
