FWIW my biggest (late 1990s) college regret is that I didn't do community college for 2 years then transfer to university. The university I wanted to go to allowed for direct credit transfer (from the nearest CC) after 2 years and one of my friends/roommates took advantage of it. He lived in an apartment with us university students and didn't really miss anything other than 2 years of student loans.
But what was your goal?
I'm not sure I understand the question.
My friend who did 2 years of community college before transferring to univerity went on to become a veterinarian.
My goal is to maximize my time in a research college and do good there. Starting as a freshman means two more years of networking and access to the school's facilities. What happens after is irrelevant. I already have a career.
My only question was about college preparation that doesn't involve cc credits. Not life advice.
I know lots of folks that have gone to college on the "5 year plan". Does the school you're going to kick you out if you haven't obtained all the Bachelors degree credits in 4 years or less?
I don't know. Is there a way to reset my academic record if things go wrong? I got locked into a piss poor high school record(this post was about circumventing that) because of an over ambition child study team and a helicopter parent. If I get into financial trouble, I can declare bankruptcy, but I can't redo high school or college? The colleges I looked at all say if I don't declare all previous education, it would be considered fraud and I would get expelled. I can't try community college for real because there's no going back if it's not good enough.
Hell, I didn't even fulfill the basic requirements dictated by the state for a high school diploma, but the state board of ed didn't feel like receding my diploma. If not for that, I would have been able to go to a charter school.
