Standard college time for undergraduate (bachelors degree) is 4-5 years. If you do 2 years at a community college, then you will only need to do 2-3 years at university. The total number of years is the same no matter which route you choose.
The first two years of college, whether at community college or university, is your GE (general education.) The remaining 2-3 years are reserved for you to complete your major and/or minor. If attend a community college first and then transfer, test scores are not needed or considered. And, the GPA is less competitive for community college transfer students than for students entering right out of high school.
I transfered from Santa Monica College to UCLA with a 3.3 whereas most of the entering freshman need a 3.8 or higher. One more additional benefit is that if you transfer from a community college to a university, your GPA begins all over again at the university.
No don't even worry about it. I went to a community college and transferred to a really good university. You should check with your schools policy about whether you can transfer after a year.
Generally, your sat scores don't matter and colleges won't even ask for them. Just pull a stellar GPA at your community college and you are as good as in a state school. But be prepared because some state schools want you to spend two years at a community college and sometimes it is hard to get classes.
Just be prepared for that. Also if you do decide to go the CC route, make sure you study up for those placement tests because that is the way that they get you to stay there longer and not finish as quickly. Also, just keep up with it and you will be in and out of there in no time.
Good luck.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
