I am an chinese just immigrated from China about one year. However, my cousin who growed up here, and graduated from UC Berkeley, she strongly suggest me to apply for UC, but I know that there are some requirements for getting into UC, which I do not have. A few weeks ago, I have contacted UC SC and LA, they told me they will consider my transcripts from both school.
I am confused whether to apply or just go to community college first(my counselor suggests to do this way)?

Going the community college route is a great way to go. If you get all the required courses you are guaranteed to get in. Plus it is a lot cheaper! You can also improve your grades this way, so that you have a better transcript going in.
Also UCLA and Berkeley are two of the hardest UCs to get into so look into some of the other ones. They are all great schools.
If your application gets denied you can also appeal the decision. You can learn how to do this with your college counselor.
It never hurts to apply and see what happens. Also there are special discounts for applying to multiple schools so just look into some of the other UCs to. Davis, Santa Barbara, and Irvine, San Diego etc.

It is a little late now to apply for next year. Get your act together, attend a junior\community college, and really think whether you can even handle UC! IT IS A TRUE COMMITTMENT, NOT A LAST MINUTE THING.

Apply, you'll probably get in.
