Going to Community College, how to do is start off from Secondary school outside US ?

Mitsuko Manne: I think basically you need to be 18, and have taken a test that shows your proficiency in English, or sign up for the intensive English program, when you want to apply to SMC as an international student. So I'm not sure that when you receive your certificate will matter, if you are 18. Email or call SMC to ask! SMC International Education Center http://www.smc.edu/apps/pub.asp?Q=108Is SMC the closest community college to where you will be living? The transfer rates are extremely similar at all the LA area community colleges. So go to the school closest to your home to help make sure you're successful, showing up is important, so the easier to do so, the better. Also, you will likely have to do two years at community college to transfer successfully. There are transfer programs, like TAG and Scholars/Honors, at all the community colleges that are very helpful.Make sure you apply and register asap when it's possible, because they've cut back on classes at al! l the community colleges and they fill up quickly! Kids who wait are not able to find the classes they need, and it's important for you if you're planning on transferring as quickly as possible. Good luck!...Show more
