Makes sense.
U read that fast! I just edited with more explanation

I agree with taking the CC route for 2 years if you live in California.
Poly definitely is. It is highly regarded and highly ranked.Cal Poly's engineering program is pretty legit so I would recommend going there. Then again I'm also bias since I went there.
As of now I only have my G.E.D and a Culinary Arts certificate so obviously I won't be able to afford a prestigious school but I was thinking that first I should obtain a Bachelors at a low cost university so I can get a well paying job then try to get Masters degrees later on at top universities.
I was going to try to get into Bakersfield University because it was the cheapest one but I recently discovered that prestigious schools often do not except people who went to universities that is not very well known so I am not sure which one I should go to.
Does anyone have any advice?
i had a 3.9 highschool gpa, 2200 sat, three 5's on AP exams and i didnt get into mit. or stanford. or berkeley
i dont think hes trollin. to look up those tuition numbers for a troll job is quite some work

Can you elaborate on why the CSUs are easy? It seems to be the general consensus that they are, and that the UCs are tougher. Yet everyone I know who went to a UC school is fucking retarded, while those I know who went to CSU are seemingly pretty smart. Is it just that UC has more stringent requirements for admission, or the classes are harder?
I just meant admissions. Classes are similar in difficulty...
Are you fucking kidding? That's some ignorant shit man, what kind of people do you associate with? UC Berkeley and UCLA are up there with the most prestigious schools in the country. UCI, Davis, and San Diego aren't far behind either. There are only 2 really good CSU's, Pomona and SLO. The others are decent, but they aren't the most selective in their admissions. Just about anybody who graduates from high school can get into some sort of CSU.
My god, why do people even talk when they have no clue what they're talking about.
Really? 3.9 GPA isn't that special when comparing to weighted GPA's from AP/IB classes, but 2200 sat is damn high on the SAT! Surprised you didn't get into Berkeley.
academic funding, known professors, research publications, yada yada yada
i've attended two pretty prestigious universities, and one that wasnt for about two semesters. i cant say i got a great snapshot of the course difficulty from those two semesters, but while i was at prestigious universities, i met transfer students from other colleges with 4.0's that ended up failing out and was told the coursework was way harder.
im sure it varies quite a bit between schools.
Cal Poly is a well regarded university, highest regarded CSU campus.I heard that you could start the first 2 years at a University then transfer to a different University and finish the next 2 years for a Bachelors.
My question is if I attend Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo for the first 2 years, do you think I could transfer to a school in the UC system such as Davis?
Or is Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo not prestigious enough to impress the UC system?
I was afraid that if I went to a Community College a school in the UC system would not accept me because Community Colleges has no prestige.Cal Poly is a well regarded university, highest regarded CSU campus.
Why would you want to transfer from a CSU to a UC? Is this just about saving some money?
If you are going to Poly for engineering why would you transfer out?
I'll tell you right now, because of impacted status that 2 academic years at Cal Poly will most likely take longer than 2 years. If for whatever reason you want to first attend a CSU and then transfer to a UC, pick a cheaper place to live then San Luis Obispo.
Transfer student priority goes to California community college transfers (again, the Transfer Admission Guarantee program and Transfer Opportunity Program), then other UC campuses then CSUs and other 4 year institutions.
That is pretty much how it as always been.
You really need to make an appointment with a counselor at a local community college or university.

An integral part of the California community college system design is for students to eventually transfer to a CSU or UC.I was afraid that if I went to a Community College a school in the UC system would not accept me because Community Colleges has no prestige.
But since your telling me that CC transfers has some type of "priority" I will be sure to make some phone calls with the schools to see if that's true.
Thanks!
