Regardless of UG GPA?
I'm just curious to know.
Also, people have told me that it OK to do 2 years community college. But now I am thinking "Hey, maybe I want to do a masters degree."
Who knows, I mean, that may be the case, I may not want to go to med school. But some grad schools cost nearly as much.
Would a prestigious grad school (Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Penn) look down upon taking lower level classes at a CC and upper levels at a four year?
Assuming I have comparable stats to the others students applying.
It seems like with the ivies, a high ranked UG would help. I'm thinking maybe if I can do CC first I may actually be able to transfer if I can stay @ or very close to the 4.0 range.

By the way, I have been working on my math and it is coming along slowly but surely.
What has been helping believe it or not is Algebra II for dummies and this used college algebra text. It's working pretty good so far but I am noticing that I have a pretty crappy foundation. I am focusing on nailing my times tables because that is killing me. Otherwise all I need to do is review concepts. I literally use a calculator for everything an I want to get to the point where I do not even need one.
