Community college is honestly such a blessing. I was not the best student in high school either and I thought my life was over when I got rejected from every college I applied for. But now I realize that it was the best decision going to community college because it really defined my decision for what I wanted to do in my career when I transfer and it’s a lot cheaper! I’m planning to apply to Cal soon so thank you for posting this! 🙏🏼😄
Marie G community colleges are underrated - they are the work horses of post secondary education. Almost 46% of current students enrolled in 4 year colleges went to community college first.
This is awesome and so relatable! Often, we see so many resources and videos about freshmen applicants (which I get and I think is good), but we rarely hear about the community college success students. Transferring to a competitive school like Berekely is a huge motivation for me and it's great knowing that there are people who have done it who can give guidance. Thank you so much.
This is really inspiring I was feeling really defeated earlier today. I felt like I failed myself and my parents because I know I could have done better in High School and to have such a mediocre gpa of 2.1 because I didn’t take my first two years of High School seriously really broke me down. After seeing this I felt a boost of confidence knowing it’s still possible go to your dream school, I just got to work hard for it. Thank you so much for this video ✨
Jenny has a grit mindset which is what I strive to do every time I step into class. I believe having grit works because the motivation to succeed, persevering through failure is how one grows in life. As cliche as it seems. This really worked for my first semester in college. I got a C- on my first test in stats, which was the first test too in my freshman year. I was panicking a lot, and eventually, I really persevered to get that sweet A through countess hours with the professor in his office hours 3 days a week including the other times when I was free during other classes. Grit makes a difference!!!! and keep onto your own journey people!!!! It's ok for not everyone to believe in you!!! My old friends and even my dad doesn't believe in me sometimes. I'm thankful for my mom and sisters for believing in my potential. I had a 3.4 in high school, and now in college, I really have the guts to strive for success!!!
Fast forward 6 years and I m starting my semester of my junior year here at UC Berkeley as a physics major. Thanks for the insight I am surely grateful for this video.
I had a 3.5 gpa during high school and took 3 AP classes such as AP calculus, AP US History, and AP Computer Science. I also took chinese 3 honors and applied to only Cal Poly Pomona and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo since my SAT score was bad and my parents didn't want to waste their money on UC's. As a freshman at CCSF, I have two A's and 1B for a total of 3 classes so far, so hopefully, my 2nd chance at UC Berkley will increase. Wish me luck!
I highlighted in my essay that I tutored non science majors at my community college. When the letters came out the people who got in are the people that got the best grades.
Even if you are a great student, going to a Community College (CC) is a great way to minimize student debt. You can satisfy most if not all, of your lower division classes. Don't think of a CC as a step down... especially when it can save you thousands of dollars in tuition.
Applying this semester! Hoping to get in for Fall of 2019. I'm apply for Environmental Economics in CNR. My GPA is not that high, but I volunteered in Indonesia for half a year and was adopted when I was ten without knowing English. I'm also in Scholars, used to participate in PTK and attended sustainability workshops on campus? what are my chances? so nervous.
OK I’m here 4 years later and I’m glad to announce that I got admitted to UC Berkeley from CC with a 3.5 gpa. So I do think that Berkeley is a lot more holistic in their application process than other UC’s.
Hello Supertutor TV, do you have any tips for getting into a prestigious private university? I am planning to go to a private university after completing/graduating with my associate degree to advance my career.
Is there anyone know if I can transfer to a CSU without core science classes. It's just because I want to take these core classes in the CSU to make my application looks more attractive for the optometry schools I would apply in the future. Thank you for your advice 🙏
I’m also so conflicted on whether I want to go to cc first or shoot my shot senior of high school applying. A lot of people in my grade are more qualified than me. I mean I’m not a terrible student but I’m also not the best I have a 3.69 rn so i dont know
@@wholelottapain8130 omg hi lol, Im currently in community college (about to start my second year in August) and I really like it and it was definitely the best option for me! I have a 4.0 and I think I have a solid shot at the colleges that rejected me when I applied in 2019
Possibly the community college will do the same for me and allow me to transfer into a dream school that was previously unreachable to me back in high school
Can you do a video with a dual enrollment student? I am graduating with my Associate's degree at the same time I graduate from high school, and could use a video targeted toward my situation (which many others I know are in, as well).
More than 9,000 incoming freshmen entered one of the most prestigious colleges in the nation, University of California, Berkeley, earlier this fall. But reports show the size of the class of 2022 is quickly diminishing. Last week, the class of 2022 consisted of 6,578 freshmen. This is more than 2,000 individuals down from when the class entered UC Berkeley this fall. As of today, there are only about 4,345 freshmen still enrolled at UC Berkeley. PLAIN ENGLISH.. UC BERKELEY DROPOUT RATE MORE THAN 50% SMART MOVE, graduate from Community College FIRST... UC Berkeley and UCLA, LOVE Community College graduates.
I have currently have a 3.3 unweighted and a 21 ACT composite score. However in my essays to Berkley I wrote about dealing with my mom's cancer, almost getting kicked out of home for being gay , a JSA summer program at Stanford and being invited into We The People after transferring senior year. Now I am starting my own JSA chapter where I will be president. Berkley invited me to submit letters of recommendation and I am getting one from my professor from the summer program, do you think my chances for getting in are strong?
Luis Gonzales if you do, that's great, but you most likely won't get in. Those scores are far below average. Also, if you didn't get far in the We the People competition, it doesn't mean much.
Luis Gonzales the state level and the national level are far more relevant. Also, not to be rude, but people are far, far more qualified than you to attend Berkeley and the majority of the other UCs, really. That said, I wish you luck. Community college is another option if you don't get in.
I totally understand, competition is a part of the game. I seek acceptance because everyone I know from the UC system (UCLA and Berkeley) thinks that I would be a good fit, even with my academic statistics. I'm well aware of my shortcomings as a highschool student, but I have ambitions I plan on acheiving once I'm in college. Still, I'm glad to have gotten your honest opinion.
Luis Gonzales You show maturity, that's good. I encourage you to attend Community College if you don't get into Berkeley so you can learn to handle a strenuous schedule and a full time college curriculum. Best of luck
Harrison Katz yeah i know that and am extremely sorry if your in there or any of your accquantice, i was referring to harvard, yale, etc. which have relatively lower acc. rate
SymphonyReturnsTSwizzle VEVO Nah I’m not there (yet), lol, but thanks for the apology! I often find Brown and Dartmouth getting more criticism than they deserve because of their relatively low faculty research output (factors into the USNews ranking).
andrea nicole araujo abanto It depends. I’ve know many international students who got full scholarships by doing good on SAT/ACT and most of them were great students in their country’s high schoo
Depends on the college. This is true in Jenny's case from a CALIFORNIA community college to UC schools for a native English speaker. If you are an international student or coming from another school or going to another college the rules may be different and what is "suggested" may be different-- and the rules may change year to year. Some schools also accept retakes of the exam after high school. You have to check policies at the specific schools you apply to.
California Community College students are given first priority, CSU students second priority, and UC students third priority. The idea is that students already attending a UC school would benefit less from transferring than students at a CC or CSU school.
But they are more mature than you, university admissions officers trust them more. Many professors have said that they are stronger writers and more focused than their younger counterparts who enter directly from high school. Taking 20 courses a t community college is no different than ap courses which why the universities will allow them to transfer over. Community college grads are the same caliber and they have proven that they deserve to be in university.
the truth of the matter is that most people who got into top UCs from CC would not have done so from high school, even at a mature age. community college courses are not at the same level of difficulty as ap courses are unless you are taking engineering courses and more advanced math/physics courses (and even then, no guarantees as some professors just pass out A's since there need be no training for the SAT or AP exams. CC courses do not test with standardized tests like AP exams do (many people do indeed pass AP classes while failing AP exams, which doesn't look good on applications. CC courses have no such exams to verify proficiency) Also, no SATs to verify either. University admission officers do not "trust them more" (you don't admit people based on trust; this is not a crime or a courtroom). They admit them because the acceptance rate for CC is higher and they are given first priority above everyone else. Check the UCLA website for published stats on admissions. The acceptance rate for CC transfers is twice the amount from high school, which is compounded by the fact that most people at CC were mediocre students at best in high school since most who did well went away to university already, making CC transfer at least 4 times easier than from high school.
You can't say that CC is 4 times easier than high school, you can't measure that way and even admissions officers would disagree with you. The fact that CC students get admitted tells you that admissions will take 2 years of post secondary courses seriously, they would not admit them if they didn't. AP courses are overrated, many admissions officers will tell you that many high schools do not offer them so they can't give it a lot of weight especially at a highly selective school. You can find universities in America where profs pass out A's. There was a Ted talks about going to Community College and the life lessons it taught him. The guy who gave it went to community college, transferred to Cornell University and is now at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. The reality is that people really care about what you do after hs which is the most important. I know many people who went to CC who are MD's, lawyers and software engineers working in silicon valley.
To say that AP courses are harder than CC classes is the best joke I've heard in a long time. If you think AP was harder than any college course then you really dont know what you're talking about and just goes to show you're bitter about something and trying to rationalize stupid ideas. Also, you present a lot blatant false information like "CC courses do not test with standardized tests like AP exams do" (and thus you deem to be subpar or irrelevant ). CC courses and all accredited college courses in California go through the asisst.org system where they are evaluated on whether not they meet transfer requirements for UC's. So they are directly compared with and evaluated by the UC system for transferability. So, you're wrong. These courses are harder than AP classes (which were meant to be college courses taken in high school, anyways). And admit rates for transfers at many UC's are only higher by about 5-7% each year because the amount of transfers admitted is less than a third the amount of freshman. So, no the acceptance rate is not "double", nor is it a lot of transfers at all when compared to the freshman admits. Its not many at all, really. So you've been wrong about pretty much all your talking points. I can only imagine you're spewing this misinformation out of the bitterness of your rejections from top schools like Berkeley? And I know what im talking about because of my source: I was admitted to UC Berkeley as an EECS transfer last year , which acceptance rate is less then 10%. So I myself can verify what you're saying as bullshit and you're nowhere near as smart as you think you are and thats why you were rejected from these programs. Your arrogance can be smelled a mile away.
@@justStardust940 you have such a closed mind to people with backgrounds you have no idea of. I wasn't perfect in HS but definitely not mediocre. I did AP classes and SAT, and the AP classes were in no way comparible to CC classes, AP classes were far easier. Went straight to Uni to study biology but left due to health and financial issues. Went to CC to take care of myself. I took honors classes and professors at CC that structured their classes like 4 year systems. Found myself pursuing a business related route. Now i'm at Berkeley working as hard as anyone else. You don't get to decide who stops being "good enough" at any point in their life. Some people actually grow to be better out of high school.
Community college is honestly such a blessing. I was not the best student in high school either and I thought my life was over when I got rejected from every college I applied for.
