Also a little known tidbit - many schools will turn down applicants that they want due to low scores. If said applicant goes to a CC for a semester, often times they can transfer in easily. The various rating systems track incoming freshmen GPA and SAT scores, not transfers.

I agree. When we visited UCLA, the people we talked to indicated they are very interested in CC transfers that have proven themselves in that environment.
Todd, if your son ever wants advice from someone who went through the same choices recently let me know. My son plays guitar and can provide a unique perspective to non traditional students.
