In your community college journey, academic excellence is key. To stand out in the transfer applications, it's essential to aim for the highest GPA possible. If you are a business student and make diligent use of our dual enrollment strategy, achieving a 4.0 GPA can be within your grasp.

Our dual enrollment strategy provides the flexibility to take as many online classes as you wish, offering you an avenue to balance your work-life schedule more efficiently.

When it comes to selecting classes, refer to your 'master list' created in Chapter 2. Using this list, seek out the classes you need that are taught by professors with high ratings on RateMyProfessor.com. Although this website may contain some bias, it often provides a generally accurate picture of course difficulty and teaching quality.

Pay special attention to classes that are prerequisites for other courses and those considered harder than others. Attempt to take these early in your college journey, particularly if you can find highly rated online or in-person versions of these classes.

Given the wealth of class options you have due to the dual enrollment strategy, it shouldn't be hard to find online classes taught by highly-rated professors. However, do be prepared that in your first one or two semesters, you may face some challenges due to lack of priority registration. Remember, your goal is to strategically pick your classes for maximum efficiency, but your primary aim should always be to achieve the highest grades possible.

By following this approach, you'll not only be building a strong academic foundation but also paving the way to a smoother, more successful transfer process.
