[b] It is great there is such an option for kids who need more time to come up to speed academically or who are in a very unfortunate financial/personal position to start a four year college. It is silly to suggest this route to academically high achieving kids.

This is false.  It's a very sensible system and financially makes a lot of sense.  For some reason, it's just not popular on this forum.  In California, many TOP students go the community college transfer route (my cousin, included).  Many from my public high school did it.  https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/transfer-requirements/[/quote]

I'm also from CA, and while it was a very popular option, it definitely was not the "TOP" students.  I just looked at my program from graduation (mid 90s) and none of the students listed as having a 4.0+ or 3.5+ went to community college.

Well my nieces and cousins had to do it because there was no money. And they were top students. T[b]hey graduated top f their CC class[/b]. One went to UCLA and the other to USC both full ride. A lot of us just can’t afford that $81k a year tgat slacs want or hey even the instate for UCLA (should be so lucky to get in).a lot of top immigrant students have to go this route. It’s simply a more established system leading into the UCs and privates in California. Not everyone is as lucky as you

Top of "cc class" is not the same thing as top of the high school class.   You are comparing apples and oranges.

I don't even know anyone who went to a community college graduation, knew the other students stats or where they stood in the class--especially if they were only using community college as a vehicle to transfer to a four year university.[/quote]
