I have no plans going to any college right at this moment. The idea frightens me and I do not know why. well, I do know, its just the fear of going to college and then later on for some reason (either its to weighty, or i have economic problems) to drop out. losing so much time and having a great debt on my hands. In a since, the only goal at the moment is to go to community college. i have later hopes in transferring to a college and later getting my Bachelor degree in business. Its not like I cant go straight to college or anything, its just the fear of going and drooping out. losing the most important thing, my self esteem, so i rather not take that risk. But that's not good enough for me. what's really bothering me is if I go to community, later transferring to another college, will be better than just going to a regular college and getting over with it. Will my high school grade, gpas, and SAT scores be important once i finish community and transfer? Or whatever I did in high school disappear when i finally go to college? these question are those that creep on me and much more. In retrospect, this is my only concern at the moment. I would like to know so I can at least feel like I´m not drowning in a cup of water. Thank you!

From what I've been told and researched, high school transcripts aren't a huge factor in your application when applying to a four year university as a transfer student. If anything, seeing how much you've improved at community college since high school will show a lot of growth, which is a good thing. If you plan on transferring after you've completed 2 years at a community college, I'm not sure your high school transcripts are even considered in the application process at all. I wouldn't stress too much about it if I were you and just focus on doing well once you go to community.
ReplyDeleteSimilar to what Halla said, I don't think that a four-year college asks for your academic history from high school, specifically if you're transferring from a community college. Instead, the four-year college that you're planning on transferring to will ask for your GPA from your time at community college. Though if you only go to community college for a short amount of time, like a semester to a year, then I think they will request your high school GPA and SAT score(s). Even if you don't have the most perfect GPA in high school, colleges will still consider you as a relatively good candidate, especially if they see improvement in your work ethic, grades, etc. while attending community college. I really hoped this helped!
