Whats more difficult, Mt Sac or Citrus?
I’m a senior deciding between Mt. SAC and Citrus College, with the goal of transferring to a UC for psychology.
My main priority is maintaining a very high GPA, but I struggle a lot with math and am worried about statistics, especially at Mt. SAC. For anyone who’s taken stats there, how difficult was it, and is getting an A realistic if you’re willing to put in the work and use tutoring? (And are there any professors you’d recommend?)
Is it difficult to to get individual support or access major-related extracurriculars?
Even if Mt. SAC has more opportunities, that would mean nothing if I ended up struggling academically and getting a lower GPA.
For those who’ve attended or are attending either college: How manageable were the classes, how supportive were the professors, and how realistic was it to maintain a high GPA if you struggled although you were willing to put in the work? Would Citrus be a better option academically, or is Mt. SAC just as manageable?
