If I attend a community college for two years to take my core classes, then transfer to a 4-year college for the remaining 2 years, would my bachelor's degree be any "less" to employers than attending a 4-year college for all 4 years?

Thanks

i founded the musician's club in my school. i did these clubs:
literary magazine, model UN, SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions), Debate Team, Tech Team, humanitarian. I also did student government, and was on the volleyball team. My gpa is a 3.8 unweighted. I had a tutoring job at a community center.
I am hispanic, so thanks affirmative action.
my questions are these:
what are my chances for columbia
do the number of years u are part of each extracurricular matter??
i still have a bit of time to strengthen my resume so what can do to improve my chances, other than study for the SATs, for which i am well prepared.

I have asked this question a million times but no one ever seems to have an answer.

I have a 4.0 GPA in psychology and what will probably be a 3.45 overall GPA. If i have ok letters of recommendation, should i be able to get into the PsyD program or should i spend an extra semester in my undergrad institution doing internships, independent studies, honors thesis, and working on getting great letters of recommendation? Would all of that be necessary or should i have no problem actually getting in to Argosy with my current stats?

I need honest answers, cause I really want to know. I've been going back and forth with m y aunt about this. I want to change my major, but she tells me it's too late. I'm college sophomore, got 2 years left. Already invested 2 at community college in elem education. I don't want to do that, but I don't know what else I want to do at this point. She tells me it's my fault that I don't have a passion, maybe she's right. But, peope find their passions at all different ages and times in their lives, am I right? She' s really making me feel low right now, telling me that I'm way behind everypne else already, and I just need to finish.But I'm lost right now, and she doesn't understand that.I kno teres$ invested & time bt I want to define meaning for my life. Is it too late for me to explore other options, or should I just go down the road I started, and explore later? This is really frustrating me, she thinks I'm crazy cause I want to change it now, am I? Am I the only one in this situation

well the question is pretty self explanatory. But yeah, i took some pretty advanced courses, and i did okay in them. I got a pretty good score on my sat's a 2200. So do you think I could get into any of the colleges that were previously listed? I really want to go there to become a doctor.

some additional details:
I have been on the varsity swimming team
I am in enviromental club ( 2 years now)
and how 125 hours of volunteer hours, at a hospital.

like the non-academic issue is of a death in the family..i know we have to send in a certificate of death but how important will they look that up to. If we give them that copy, do you know if they will contact the hospital to confirm it..or what do they do (consider it as an important as to why we decide to drop)..plz i need to know how this works so i could make a decision if i think theyy would accept it (otherwise it would be a waste if i do it and they dont approve )i hope u got what i meant...

I tried the career center at my school. They help a little but I'm still very undecided. I'm a sophomore and still have no idea what to do. I've heard horror stories about people who spent five years in college, but never graduated because they kept changing majors and have loads of college loans to pay off. I've seen people with bachelor degrees working in fast food because they can't get a job related to their major. My favorite subject is math, I started to major in math but I haven't been doing well in my courses. I feel like maybe I should start looking into something else.. I think I should drop out and take a year off to decide what to do. I already know my parents would go crazy if I told them about thinking about this but I want to know what other people think. If I do drop out what do you suggest I do? I don't want to work at a fast food joint, I want to do something productive.

Can anyone give me a site for taking tests to find out what type of careers you would like to have (based on personality and what you like to do). Books would help too.

You'd think that it would be so simple to decide what you want to be when you grow up but I've been having doubts about mine so I need to come up with a back up plan.

I recently applied to University of California Irvine, and I put Literary Journalism as my major and English as my alternate. Now I want to go with English however. I read that after the admission decision is reached then you can apply to have your major switched, but that sometimes majors will be full. What are the chances I will be able to switch? Does it help since I put it as my alternate, could I possibly switch it now? Is English usually full?
