Community college/university help please?

Hi I am I High School student doing college research because next year I need to decide whether to apply to a college or not. Right now I think I want to become a Doctor so I'm thinking that I want to start out as a registered nurse work for a couple years as a rn to get some experience and then go to med school. Right now I think I shouldto go to a community college for 2 years get my associates degree and then transfer to a university and get my bachelors degree. any recommendations on any community colleges that are usually pretty easy to transfer credits from into a university (please include city and state). and any universitys that are good about accepting transfer students from community colleges? I live in the U.S. by the way. And if possible please recommend affordable ones.

California has best community college. It is actually a little secret of california. So any community college of California is good and you can easily transfer to a 4 year college from a JC in California. But your plan seems perfect. But you might want to consider the amount of time it will take you to complete all of this. Doctors typically take 8 years... so to get a MD it takes about 8years minimum. So if you go to community college you have just added another 2 years and if you work for 2 years to get some experience you have added another 2 years so now you are alread upto 12years. And now let's say you dont want just an MD but you want to specialize in something add another 2-4years so that makes it 14-16years total. So if you are 18 getting out of high school by the time you will be compeletly done with school will be 32 - 34years old. Good Luck.

There is a website at least for california colleges that shows transfer credits it's called assist.org. I used it to take classes at Fullerton College that transferred to Cal Poly Pomona.



I would say either go to a very popular community college that you know a lot of students transfer from, or choose what 4 year you are going to go to so that you can take the right classes towards your GE when you're at the CC.



Although you will save a lot of money at the CC, be careful with the types of habits and views of school you develop. A lot of kids in community colleges don't take classes as seriously. Make sure you finish what you start out to do!
all community colleges are affordable.
all community colleges are affordable. no community colleges stand out above any others, its pretty much you go to whatever community college is in your community.



as far as transferring credits: you should start by looking at a college/university that you would want to transfer to and think you could get into. then look at their policies for transferring credits. most large public institutions are good with transferring credits and counselors at the school are always eager to help.
