[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA has guaranteed transfer for students who attend community college and do well in classes.

This seems like a low-stress and lower cost way to earn a UVA degree, vs going into contortions to get a UVA first-year admit or going to a less preferred 4-year university.

Who has been there, done that? How are the tradeoffs?

Even if it's not for you, why isn't UVA flooded with people going this route? It's looks like an amazing  side-door option. Is succeeding in community college harder than a UVA-wannago expects?

My perspective: the crappier the school, the harder the profs make it to get As. As you slide down the academic prestige ladder, professors sincerely believe BS like people should have to &quot;work hard&quot; to &quot;earn&quot; grades. (Meanwhile Harvard giving out As like they're participation trophies.)

For this reason, I would be careful thinking NVCC --&gt; UVa is the easy path. But I would also ask myself if UVa is really worth the two-year CC struggle. You can get a good education at a lot of VA state schools, even GMU.[/quote]
