SAT subject tests: World History and US history dont count?

Well, from what I've seen. The people I know who went to community college are the ones who slacked in high school, and continue to slack in community college. I'm not denying the fact that there are people who go there that could have gone someplace better, but most of the people from my experience are idiots that go there.

Wow, that's quite the assumption. Idiot is a pretty strong word. Does that make me an idiot then, because I chose to go to a community college. Did my intelligence suddenly get sucked out of my brain when I enrolled?

And who's to say that a university is "better"?

What if I said that most people who go to a university for their first two years are idiots because they're wasting a ton of money? How would you feel about that?

Oh plus. Hey, I could transfer to UCLA if I wanted to and get the same exact diploma as someone who went there for four years. Same thing. All I'm saying is that no one, except you, is going to know that you did your first two years at a CC. It's not like when you get your diploma, there's a big asterisk next to you name which leads to the message,

*(Your name here) doesn't deserve full recognition for his efforts and achievements because he went to a community college for two years.

I said MOST people who i've seen go to community college are idiots, there are exceptions. And I wouldn't care if you thought they were idiots, because from what i've seen the people that end up going to universities directly end up doing better in life. There probably isn't a logical correlation for that assumption, its just personal experience with family and friends. The ones who ended up going to UCLA, berkely, etc in my family studied harder, were more ambitious, and did better later in life. The friends and family i noticed go to community college said everything you just said, but they end up not studying as much, and having too much "fun", and then it takes them practically 4 years just to finish their GE.
