PCC's Acceptance Rate?

Hello folks, I've been considering applying to PCC and while researching, I was trying to find data on their acceptance rate. I figured that info could help me understand the odds a bit better. Does anyone here have any clue about it? General application advice for PCC would be welcome too!

If PCC refers to Pasadena City College, it's important to keep in mind that community colleges like PCC typically have open admissions policies. This means that anyone with a high school diploma or its equivalent (such as a GED) will generally be admitted. So, in this sense, the "acceptance rate" would be nearly 100%.

For your application, you'll likely need to provide your high school transcript or evidence of your GED, complete the college's application form, and potentially complete an assessment in key areas like reading, writing, and math to help determine the right level of course to place you in.

Once admitted and enrolling in courses, it's also a good idea to connect with an academic advisor at the college. They can help you plan your course sequence, explore potential majors, and develop a plan for after community college whether that involves transferring to a 4-year university or entering the workforce. They can be an invaluable resource to maximize your community college experience.

Lastly, many students take advantage of the opportunities for involvement in extracurricular activities at community colleges. Being active in clubs, sports, or other organizations can give you a more well-rounded college experience and can also provide experiences and skills that might be beneficial for your future plans. considering joining clubs or organizations that align with your potential major or career interests can be particularly beneficial.

Best of luck with your application and future studies!
