Am I cooked? CC to IB, will I pull it off?
Due to financial circumstances I cannot attend a 4-year college right now.
I’m about to be a new high school graduate and I’m enrolled in my local community college. Majoring in Business (AS).
I didn’t get into any amazing schools during admissions season, and my local schools are still far too expensive even with scholarships with a low ROI.
My goal: break into IB by any means necessary.
I have connections in the industry - and I've taught myself basic technicals over the past year.
I'm hoping to transfer out ASAP, into at least a semi-target. I’ll be aiming for targets though in the end.
What would you recommend to me in terms of standing out in the transfer process, tackling recruitment at later stages, and making my application solid.
Any advice is appreciated, thank you in advance to all who help.
I did it! Not only did I go to CC, but ending up transferring to a super non target (full ride). Definitely an uphill battle.
If you decide to transfer after two years, I would recommend reclassifying to a sophomore at your new school so that you qualify for junior summer internships. You will have to do an extra semester but it’s the highest probability of landing a role.
Best of luck!
Don’t cook

If you can transfer soonish, tell a story explaining that you couldn’t afford 4 year degree from a major school, no one with a brain will hate you for that. People like underdog stories, it’s a lot more difficult than going straight to Harvard, but that’s why people like the stories to begin with
Seems fairly easy to transfer to a better college in the states. I knew several people who transferred from community college at the US Uni I went to. I would:
I really wouldn't say you're even at a disadvantage so far mate. Just don't shit the bed at local uni.
