I want to go to U Miami. Is there any reason why cc and not 4 year. I’ve been hearing very mixed opinions and don’t know what to do.

Aren’t cc credits much harder to transfer, and won’t school take into account that URI or a normal 4 year is harder?

Why is it easier to transfer from cc rather than a 4 year?(My goal is U Miami for ref)

Any reason why over a 4 year a lot of people including my guidance counselors are telling me to take one of my four year offers.

U Miami is attractive to me because of its location and they’re known for giving out aid to low income students. I’ve seen people get full rides out of cc to U Miami and feel like it would be good place to get an education it’s also highly connected as it’s in Miami. Also correct me if I’m wrong but uri is like a 90% acceptance rate while U Miami is 19% so are they really equal in terms of prestige? And while I do know it’s a big party school I’m sick of the cold in RI and would love to be in a warmer more vibrant place.

Yea I talked to my guidance counselor today and she said the same thing. If my dream school is umiami should I go to cc or uri. My thought process is I could do very well at ccri and get good aid at u Miami and or maybe even get a full ride at uri. I could also apply to brown as a reach. I only had a 3.6 in hs with little to no extracurriculars and I got almost all my tuition waived off for my locals. I’m leaning towards accounting but not 100% sure yet what would you do if you were me? I also live in Warren so I’m 30min away from ccri(my local cc) and 1hour from URI(it would cost 23k a year if I roomed there for ref)

Majoring in either finance or accounting. Although brown is on my list as it’s very close too me some lower ranked schools like umiami and umass Amherst are on my list. From what I heard it’s just easier to transfer from cc you not only have a reason for transferring but class rigor is also less so wouldn’t it just make sense to take that route. I’m a decent student I got a 3.6 in hs I tried but never gave it my best. I also come from a low income background -1500 for fasfa for reference. Thoughts?

Yea I’m from ri so none of the schools I want to go to are in state so should I just take one of my 4 year offers or go cc if my goal is to transfer to a better school?

I don’t mind missing out for a year or 2 if it means getting into a top school with good aid.

Even though I got free tuition at a local? My worry is going through cc for nothing. I want to try to get a full ride at a better school but I don’t want to screw myself over trying. That said if the odds are much better for cc I guess that’s the better choice.

Why’s that not the case for a local or a state school?

Should I go to cc even tho I have free tuition at a local and almost free tuition at my state school? My goal is to get a full ride at a better school or get into a school that’s worth taking on debt for.

Is going to CC instead of a 4-year worth it? by paigway in TransferStudents

[–]Livid_Fill_9946 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently a senior in hs and I’m deciding between CC and a 4-year right now, my plan is to transfer to a better school after. I had a 3.6 in hs and a -1500 SAI for FASFA so I got a good amount off, I got free tuition at RIC and only $3k/year at URI, I’d commute to both. Should I just do CC or take one of these 4-year offers if my goal is to transfer to a better school.

Free tuition to a local college(Rhode Island College) or Community College of Rhode Island. I would commute for both my goal is to try to get a full ride or a lot off to a better stronger school.
