Hey guys I had a question about how transferring from a WA state CC would look for me in terms of strength of application.

Without my dual enrollment credits (running start) my gpa is a 3.83 and with those credits it’s 3.72. I feel like my running start credits are holding me back and I wanted to know if I still have a strong case for transfer.

The pre requisite courses are a 4.0/4.0, but I’m worried about my overall gpa here with my running start credits. I know that my essays are gonna be really good and I have pretty good extracurriculars as well. The essays for major are going to be strong because I have strong major preparation through my extracurriculars and I explain those in my essays.

What are my chances?

Thank you!

Hello all, decided to reach out as it feels like no one in my world understands how it feels.

So I should probably start with the fact that I grew up getting pretty good grades until Covid when my drive and work ethic were completely destroyed. Finally I could do whatever I want… then I had to go back to high school and I constantly fell behind. My mom decided to work at a 4 year school when I was around 3 and still does, so that I could have an affordable education. That kinda backfired when my grades plummeted. So now I was stuck with pretty mid grades, (3.2 GPA) so the school she worked at for me was unattainable. I then decided to go to Community College as it was a bit away from home and I could discover more about myself. I was actually able to keep up for a few weeks until I got sick and was out of classes for a week. In that time I fell behind and am still struggling to catch up. My professors have been really understanding and supportive. But I just can’t force myself to get the work done. Nothing works. That’s been sitting with me for some time, and then Election Day happened and that definitely sent me into a spiral and I spilled shit all over myself in a lab. After that I basically said fuck it, and drove home. I just feel like I can’t pick myself up. I feel the weight of the world, everyone in my world weighing me down. The pressures of losing my car if I don’t get a 3.0 my first semester, my girlfriend being an hour and fifteen minutes away, my car guzzling gas and costing $70 a tank, my sex life not being the best rn, having a hemorrhoid that has made shitting impossible for the last 5 months, not having a job, etc. I’m sure these feelings aren’t just me. I know others most likely deal with similar shit, it just seems like there is no break from the depression, anxiety, stress, and anguish.

Thanks y’all for reading this fucking paragraph Cheers!

I didn’t qualify for a Pell grant and I wasn’t considered for a cal grant b award because I was told I had to have a gpa of 2.0 but mine was a 1.95. I got an email saying I could qualify for a cal grant c award but was ultimately not chosen to be awarded it. Is there any way I can get some form of aid this year or do I have to just wait until next fall semester? Only my father works and he makes 100k but doesn’t give me any of that money so I was hoping to get aid this year to help pay for needed material. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am just trying to understand how this all works.

I’m writing this while studying for my exam tomorrow. I recently had a talk with my curriculum chair, and it’s made me start questioning myself and my choices this semester. I thought I was doing okay with my grades—I have A’s and B’s in stats and biology. But when I shared my goal of getting into PA school, he encouraged me to push harder and aim for all A’s. That’s been my goal since the beginning of classes, but as the weeks go by, I’ve realized there’s something that’s been affecting my performance: depression.

I’m really trying to stay involved. I joined a sport, I’m in several clubs, I talk to my counselor, and I get help wherever I can. But I can’t shake this feeling of sadness. Community college life isn’t easy, especially when I see others on social media (those who are attending universities) with active social lives, and mine feels more limited. The closest thing I have to a social life here is small talk with classmates, and sometimes the campus feels so empty. It’s tough to stay motivated when it feels like I don’t quite belong. I do appreciate the community here. Everyone is so kind, and people genuinely try to help each other. But there’s still this empty feeling, like I’m missing out or that I’m somehow ‘not good enough’ for being at a community college. I know it’s just my ego talking, but this is just how I’m feeling right now.

For those who have already transferred, how are you all doing?

I know this may sound a bit unconventional, but I’m planning to spend my first year at a community college (CC) to earn my high school diploma, and then apply as a freshman to four-year universities, rather than spending an extra year to get an AA degree.

Why am I doing this? Based on my research, it seems like universities are not very generous when it comes to transferring international students, which is concerning given that my family’s financial situation is quite limited. I’d rather apply as a freshman to maximize my chances of financial aid and scholarships.

A bit about me:

• I’m an international student who attended a gifted high school and participated in a few extracurricular activities.
• My high school GPA is around 3.64.
• I have an IELTS score of 7.5, and I’m planning to take the SAT this December (just to be safe).

What do you all think about this plan? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

title says it all. i am currently a freshman at ucsc and everyday i feel like i would be happier at community college. i like the environment, but i feel like my major (psychology) isn’t my true calling. i wanted to be a forensic psychologist, but i feel like im not passionate about it enough to go through nearly 8 years of schooling. i feel like at community college would allow me to figure out what i want to do in a much cheaper, easier way, and i would be closer to home and my friends.

ucsc was my dream school, and i am grateful that i was able to come here. however, theres many factors that make me want to go home. im very lonely and isolated here. it is hard for me to make friends because im not a very social person - i feel like everyone has the same personality to be able to get along, and i feel like i dont house the qualities of that. i dont really want to waste my parents money being at a school that i am unsure of being at. ive made a plan of what i would do if i were at home and it honestly makes me happy even thinking about it. everyday at ucsc, im just not happy. ive become more introverted. i try to go out but its not easy. overall, i just feel miserable and i wish i never went here. i wanted to prove to others that im capable of coming to a four year, but i cant even convince myself that this is where im supposed to be.

any advice? is it normal to want to go back home so soon?

Can Pakistani students get into community college?

Any frats interested in hazing someone?

hi i’m currently in my very first semester at a community college nearby. i am worried because i feel like my grades aren’t ass high as i want them to be. i’m on the cusp of Cs and Bs and in worried about my gpa already. but, i want to transfer to a university near me by next fall. i am not happy in my current situation and i originally went into cc simply because i didn’t know what i wanted to do but now i have an idea. am i able to transfer after just the one year regarding my credits? and will the gpa i get from cc transfer to uni? anything helps

I use well-known Grammarly and similar tools for writing, but what else can make my college life easier? I don't look for services to write for me or do all tasks for me. I want to study by myself but with a little help. Like creating quizzes or flashcards on my study materials.

I’m starting school in January. I basically just want to get community collage done as quick as possible. Realistically how many credits should I be taking a semester? I also have to get 18 extra credits on top of the regular ones because I failed the TSI.

My bf and I recently moved to Columbia, South Carolina with my family without much planning. We were going to stay with his family but the situation with my family seemed better for now. We plan to go back to NOLA after a semester or two of college here. What are community colleges in Columbia? He’s wants to major in psychology and I want to be a Veterinarian

Hey everyone! Im currently a community college student living in california. I want to transfer to CSUSJ and i need to take chem 1a in order to transfer. However i due to transportation issues i wont be able to make it to the college every week for the labs, and i have been told you need the lab credit in order to pass the class, I tried asking some of my friends if i could take the course online but i was told that they only accept the lab credit if its done in person, in other words i cant get full credit for the class online. Could anyone help me or give me skme guidance? Anything at all is appreciated!

i left public school at 15 to do online school. graduated at 18 and now i’m 20 and considering enrolling in my local community college. however, i’m a bit scared because i feel like i forgot most of what i learned (mostly math, formatting, and how to use softwares such as microsoft) 😬😬 should i catch myself up before i enroll (side note: i actually don’t even know how the enrollment process works beyond applying…), or just do it?

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for guidance on some educational programs and would appreciate your recommendations:

1. Diplomas or master's degrees in Design of Transmission and Distribution Lines.

2. Programs focused on Power Systems.

3. Courses or master's degrees in Automation and Control Systems.

Could anyone suggest institutions where I can find these, whether online or in-person? Also, any information on costs and duration would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Looking to do online if possible, not sure what exactly I want to do but l'd preter something affordable & has a great option for online classes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated & If you have any further advice for someone looking to further their education to get paid a bit better in this society

I'm 17 and from Colombia. I dream of becoming an actress, but I haven’t taken acting classes yet. I finished high school and want to study in the U.S. I have two options:

1. Study theater at a community college for 2 years, then transfer to a 4-year university. Is it possible to get financial help as an international student for this?

2. Study something stable at a community college, and take acting classes on the side. Any suggestions for colleges or places with good acting programs nearby?

I’d also need to work, and any advice on scholarships would be helpful. Thanks!"

I'm really struggling to choose a math class to take because I am so unbelievably horrible at it. I never took Trig/Adv. Algebra in High School because my counselor knew I would fail it lmao. G100 Liberal Arts Mathematics is what's being recommended to me, but I am very afraid of taking it lmao. That being said, any suggestions?

Basically the title, I want to take differential equations my next school year and unfortunately, I have to take Calc 3 first. Any info is appreciated.

A little backgroynd. I'm currently in school getting a B.S. in Communication (Mass Media) from an online school. Unfortunately, I've realized that, even tho I'm less than a year away from graduating, I've learned nothing. I feel like I've taken the same surface level, minimum effort class twelve or twenty times, just with different names on paper. I think simply having a degree will get me in the door with some jobs, but I don't think it will really pull that much weight.

So, I'm considering enrolling into a local community college when I move back home. (North Western Michigan College, visual communication, if you need that info). The community College there, to my knowledge, is pretty much the only local option, which is fine because I actually really like the school (attended some classes there when I was fresh out of high school). The only issue is that they only offer Associates Degrees and certs.

I guess what I'm wondering is, would this be a waste of time, going back for an Associates after getting a bachelor's degree? The program I'm looking at is really attractive because it looks like it's focused on actually teaching students skills and getting them real world experience. I'm hoping having an Associates and a bachelor's wouldn't look that odd, even if I did earn them in backwards order, but I'd still end up in a better position, skills wise.

To provide context, In-state colleges in the state I currently live in don't provide the best colleges and being out of state means that I will have to pay double than what is Necessary (something I cannot afford). To add insult to injury I cannot necessary leave my current state because of reasons I cannot discuss. Because of this I want to attend a community college in either California or Georgia (legit any other state with better colleges I can transfer into) virtually (is this possible?). I have family/friends in both states, and I thought about using there address to sign up for community colleges in those state (incase that's needed)(yes, I will ask for their permission). I just started researching on this topic, and I hope you guys have some sort of answer

TLDR: is there anyway I can attend a community college despite being 2-3 states away, or any colleges that permit this through virtual academia.

Hi, I'm a community college student looking to eventually transfer (I'll be applying for transfer next year). I was interested in finding some good extracurriculars, but I haven't been able to find anything interesting, I'm in a few clubs at my cc but that's about it. I'm a biology/pre-med student so hopefully something relating to that but I'm very open to other fields! My issue with a lot of volunteer opportunities is that I was an early high school grad, so I'm currently under 18 till about March, and it's been greatly limiting the places I can apply to for volunteering and anything of the sort.

So I recently joined a couple of organizations that I want to include in my UC transfer applications, but because I am a new member, I don't have too much to show for them just yet. I know some orgs can be contacted for verification on the UC application, so I was wondering if I have just joined these, not too long before the applications are due, would that impact my chance of admission with regards to academic integrity? In other words, would it look like I was being dishonest on the application?

Just to add, I obviously would put the time frame in which I joined, but I haven't been involved in too much of the work just yet (ex. I am part of a Restoring family links department in the Red Cross but haven't done much yet). Also I know I have about a month but... if anyone has any advice on what to do or how to frame it on the application, that would be helpful!
