American community colleges have advantages over other schools. First of all, the enrollment threshold of community colleges is low, and the requirements for international students are not very high; In addition, community colleges have the incomparable advantage of low tuition fees. 1. Call your favorite 4-year university and ask which community college has the most transfer students. Rotation rate is one of the important reference standards. If your English is too poor to make a phone call, go to school in official website. Many universities will post transfer requirements and data on their websites, which can be seen at a glance. 2. Ask about transfer records, contact community colleges and ask how many students transfer to four-year universities every year. The more people transfer to another school, the better the school's consulting service and curriculum guidance. For example, the number of community colleges like DVC who transfer to UC Berkeley every year is the highest in the United States. For those students with poor grades in high school and poor English, this is undoubtedly your "bright future" choice. 3. Honors courses ask about the setting of honors courses, whether community colleges provide more challenging courses or advanced courses for outstanding students, and whether these courses are recognized by universities. 4. Apply early. Don't think that community colleges have a low threshold and are easy to enroll, so you can apply late. Students who apply early can enjoy the advantage of choosing courses early. Some popular community colleges cannot apply in advance because of the tight accommodation conditions. For example, SANTABARBARACITYCOLLEGE in California informed us very early last year that it decided not to accept early application because the number of applicants exceeded the number that the school could afford. What many students ignore is that many community colleges require students to take math and English exams before entering school. Those who fail will spend one or two semesters memorizing these high school courses until they pass. For China students, mathematics is generally not an obstacle, and English may need to be brushed up. After all, my mother tongue is not English. 6. Keep in touch with school consultants every semester. In community colleges, school counselors will guide students to choose courses, which is closely related to the transfer of credits in the future. Consultants are rare in domestic universities, somewhat similar to our study counselors. These consultants deployed in the United States are experienced. If China students can overcome their shyness and ask more questions, they will often get a lot of valuable information and get twice the result with half the effort. 7. Be prepared and study hard. Four-year universities like to admit students with good grades in freshmen and sophomores. Compared with some 4-year universities, the scores of community colleges are looser. If your grades are above B in two years, you can basically transfer to the top 50 prestigious schools. If your grades in the community college are not satisfactory, you must find your own reasons!
