    Default College Institutional Priorities

    I thought this was a good article by Rick Clark, Executive Director of Undergraduate Admission at Georgia Tech, about institutional priorities, which truly drive the entire admissions process at selective Seller schools. Admissions is not a lottery at these schools, it is the complete opposite. Students are basically hand picked to create a class with a school's institutional priorities in mind.

    Rick Clark also wrote a book about college admissions that I like, The Truth about College Admission: A Family Guide to Getting In and Staying Together and he has a podcast that I listen to as well called College Admission Brief.

    Yes, CA community colleges have excellent articulation agreements with the UC and Cal State schools. Unfortunately, it's not that way in most other states and the path from CC to a 4 year university is way more bumpy or just doesn't happen at all or ends up costing more money than going to a 4 year school from the start.

    It’s been that way for ages in CA. One of my sister’s best friends went to CC then Berkeley.

    I was looking for the like button on your post, lol. This is my DS2.

    We don't have free JC, but have basically free DE and will get some credits that route plus he is class of 2026 and we will likely have good choices with the enrollment cliff that is coming.

    Yes, DS2 is class of 2027 and I'm also looking forward to that looming enrollment cliff!!!

    Yep. It started I think in the early 90s. My sister and DH did this (although it wasn’t free until some point in the last 10 years iirc). My sister went to Long Beach State but could’ve gone to any UC but had no interest in those, and DH went to Sac State. My original plan was fo go to JC and then potentially go to Cal or UCLA (but at the last minute got into Sac State and since I had to commute to a decent JC in Sacramento it wasn’t much more more for me to go to Sac State instead).

    There are only 6 campuses participating though (Davis, Irvine, Santa Cruz, Merced, and Riverside).

    The Governor has said that he wants a guaranteed transfer admission program for UCLA for California JC transfers.

    Pretty sure LA Community Colleges have an agreement with LAUSD high schools; it may not work for private schools though.
