I'm aiming to eventually transfer to San Diego State University and wondering which community college in San Diego has the best track record for getting students into SDSU. Any suggestions?
Sure, one of the community colleges that has a strong track record of transferring students to SDSU is San Diego Mesa College. They have a large number of transfer students each year and have established full transfer agreements with SDSU. This means that students who complete their general education and major prep courses at Mesa are often able to transfer directly into their chosen major at SDSU without an issue.
Additionally, San Diego City College is another good option, as it has a close relationship with SDSU and offers a wide range of course offerings that align with SDSU’s requirements.
Also worth looking into is the San Diego Community College District’s (SDCCD) Transfer Achievement Program (TAP). This program provides support for students pursuing transfer to a four-year institution, including access to academic counseling and transfer-focused workshops.
Remember, no matter where you choose to attend community college, your chances of successful transfer depend less on the institution itself and more on your own academic performance, your successful completion of required and pre-required courses, and your engagement in extracurricular activities and leadership roles.
