Which UC universities can I get admitted as a freshman even though I attended a community college?

I'm not sure what you mean by UC, but I work at a community college in Oklahoma and any 4-year institution here will accept students either fresh from high-school or as transfers from other schools (including community colleges). You shouldn't have any problem at all attending a four year school after you have attended a community college, as a matter of fact it may help your chances of getting in.

If you have taken college prepatory and/or AP classes and a decent SAT score you can apply to Unuversities, but keep in mind that community colleges are much less expensive and once you get a four year degree from a University no one is going to care where you did your lower division work.

Actually, most community colleges do not require the SAT. So as the first person said, you can get your associate's degree from a community college, prove yourself that way via good grades, then apply to transfer to a four year school. Because you'll have had your associates, they won't require the SAT from you at that point. \n\nMy sister did this, in Florida.

Go to the school's website and look for their graduation requirements for incoming freshman.\n\nIf that doesn't help then try this:\nMost colleges have a list of classes for a major along w/ descriptions.  Check out that page and see if there are any classes that is avaliable @ that college that you can get (or get a variation of) at your school.  You may not get college credit for it unless it's an AP class.  (even then the college isn't required to take the credits, but it's worth a shot)\n\nIf U need help in AP classes go to: www.collegeboard.com\n\nIf you want to take extra classes, but you can't cause of your school...go to your nearest  community college and see if they have no credit/continuing education courses.  Usually they don't last long, but you would have taken the class U want.  At my community college they have classes like that.

One of the major differences is PRICE. Most community colleges cost half the tuition of Universities. You can still take the same college level courses at a community college and transfer them to a University. Also, community colleges are 2 year institutions, but Universities are 4 year. Most community colleges also do not intercollegiate sport teams like Universities..they have intramural instead. Community colleges are also typically more easy to get accepted into. There are several Universities that DO take people with GEDS, but almost all community colleges do. Also, if your GPA is not that great, its always much easier to get into a community college.

I hope this can still be useful.\n\nYour college choice will only determine two things: where you live on campus and what general education requirements you must complete.\n\nThe university organizes classes, so you will be attending the same classes as students of all other colleges.  So think of the colleges more like residence halls than anything else.\n\nYou should select Muir as your first choice college because the general education requirements are the lightest, and the campus location is central.\n\nYou should nominate Revelle dead last because it has the most overwhelming list of requirements and the campus location isn't great.\n\nYou should rank your choice of colleges 2-5 by the appeal of their respective general requirements.  For example, if you suck at learning languages then highly rank a college without that requirement.  You can find GE lists here: https://tritonlink.ucsd.edu/portal/site/tritonlink-preview/menuitem.b4448692267a11256ec5e210514b01ca?storyID=20580\n\nYou may also want to factor in ease of college location.\n\nWarren -- the location is terrible\nSixth -- the worst location and accomodations\nMarshall -- excellent location\nERC -- okay location and best accomodations

research the colleges you want to attend. Go on their web sites, and usually you can request information packages from them. Or call them, and ask them to send you information.

no, not while you are attending the community college. once you transfer to a four year institution you will be eligible.

there are two main ways of getting into a university. the first is to apply directly to a "four year university".  in order to get into one of these directly you will need to turn in SAT scores from highschool, along with your highschool transcripts.  getting into a university this way is more competitive and it will be harder to get in when compared to the second way.  the second way to get into a four year university is to first go to a "community college".  at community colleges you will normally do all of the "general education" classes that you would have taken anyway at the university during your first two years.  once you have finished your G.E (general education) you can then apply to "transfer" into a four year university having already finished the G.E requirements.  if you follow this way you will not need to turn in SAT scores or highschool transcripts and it will be easier to get into a university.  \n\naside from it being easier, it is also cheaper to go first to a community college since they are cheaper and will provide you with the same credits that you will be doing during your first two years at a university.

This probably applies to California community colleges. When I took my courses in a California state university, I was able to have these fees waived. I filled out FAFSA and based on your answers and income, you might be able to have these fees waived. I also asked the university admission counselors or financial aid counselors. I found out that most students do not even apply thinking they are not eligible for some kind of financial aid or grants. It never hurts to ask.

From reading this question, I am assuming that you have not taken any college level courses yet.\n\nOne place that will admit you with a G.E.D. is a community college.  Regardless if you are a high school graduate with a horrible grade point average (GPA) and SAT scores, a community college welcomes them.\n\nCommunity colleges serve the community, and gives them a fair chance to get themselves ahead in life.  Plus, if you do well in a community college, you can transfer your two years worth of those courses to a 4-year university, where you will be declared a Junior.\n\nUniversities do not care that you have a GED when you transfer from a community college.  They care about your college course grades and your grade point average.\n\nGood luck!

In short yes.\nLaw schools base who they choice on these factors:\nLSAT\nGPA in relation to courses taken and generally better schools are rated higher. a 4.00 at a community college is not equal to a 4.00 at a top 5 school and ect.\nThey also look at your other activities and generally you have to write an essay about yourself and that is also used to determine if you are granted admission.

the competition to get into ucla is as cutthroat as any ivy league school.the streets in westwood run red with student blood. tuition at ucla is 2800 quarter resident & 8000 for nonresident. usc is 34000 yearly. caltech is for brainiacs and rich ones at that. best bet is go to a community college, get the basics done, then transfer either to a state college(Cal State Sacramento)or state university \n(University california davis). Concen- trate on the less popular campuses(not berkeley or LA!)

Community colleges will let you enroll for single course.  Take some of those, work HARD and they will probably admit you.  You have to take a bunch of core classes anyway.  Good luck.

it is a different system.  And for reasons I can't explain and don't fully understand, the UC system has a better reputation than the CalStates and are more difficult to be admitted to.  I must admit I don't understand the significance of the admission policy as I'm sure you can flunk out of a CalState just as quickly as a UC.  I only lived in California a year, but that was enough to know if you get into a UC that is "better" place for you to go than the others. In reality?  They are probably both pretty much the same.  (That so many people argue that this college or that one is "better" than all others makes me think they are ALL pretty much the same.)   But if you deal in reality when dealing with colleges, you've lost.  College is 90% image and 10% reality.  Those who don't realize the importance of this truth... save a ton of money. ;)

Go to a community college first, they usually don't require the entrance exam's and by the time you are ready to transfer, the new college looks at your transferrable crfedits and will no longer require you to take these tests!
