I had a very rough upbringing and I have been lost for all my 20's. I just turned 30 a month ago and its really hitting me hard. I dont want to be a nobody all my life.
I've finally had enough and I have a fire lit under my ass to change my life, but before I can, I need some questions answered:
1.) I want to go back to community college and transfer to a UC (berkeley or UCLA) to get an EE or CS degree. I know I am capable of it and I know I can do it, there is nothing stopping me, I am **** hungry for it.
However, in my early 20's I was enrolled at 1 or 2 community colleges for a few semesters and flunked out. When the time comes that I want to transfer, will this screw me over? I have heard in the past that they will find out all schools you went to, is this true? These events happened about 10 years ago, do community colleges keep transcripts this long for inactive students? Could I simply just enroll into a community college that I have never attended?
2.) Going back to my rough upbringing, I dropped out of highschool due to some really unfortunate events that I will not share because writing them will probably make me tear up. So I have no high school diploma or GED. Can I still transfer to a UC from community college?
3.) Logistically speaking, do UC schools give the same amount of chance to transfer to all community colleges? Like, do I have a higher chance of getting into berkeley if I went to X community college instead of Y?
4.) Is it possible to transfer in a year? I plan on tackling this more than full time so I can take a huge amount of classes per semester. I know it will probably kill me, but in the hope that it will turn my life around, I will do anything.
I am in dire need of guidance on this before I plan to pursue this avenue. I'm at a huge crossroads in my life right now and I really need the help, thanks to all that answer.
