LA City College transfer rates to universities?

I'm trying to gauge how successful students are when transferring from LA City College to four-year universities. Does anyone have stats or personal experiences on their transfer rates? Really want to make sure I'm making the right decision.

To provide a more informed perspective, it's important to note that success rates in transferring from community colleges like LA City College to four-year universities depend greatly on the individual student—your academic performance, completed coursework, extracurricular activities, and the major you're interested in.

As for statistics, you can usually find specific data about transfer rates on the community college's website or by contacting their admissions office directly. However, according to the Los Angeles Community College District, they have one of the highest transfer rates to UC and Cal State campuses, which certainly bodes well.

LA City College has also implemented programs, such as the Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program, which offers students guaranteed admission to certain colleges and universities if they fulfill specific requirements. They also have Transfer Admission Programs with universities like UCLA, which provide support services, priority registration, and other benefits for transferring students.

Your success as a transfer student also hinges on factors such as proper planning, fulfilling the necessary prerequisites, and maintaining a strong GPA. It may be helpful to cultivate relationships with academic advisors or counselors who can guide you through the transfer process.

Just remember that while transfer rates are certainly an indicator of a school's effectiveness, they shouldn't be the sole determiner of your decision. Each student's journey is unique, so what works best for one may not necessarily be the best for another!
