I am wondering, how hard is it for someone to go to a local community college and do well, then transfer to a top public school such as Berkeley, UCLA, Michigan, Virginia, UNC, and other good state schools such as UF, UGA, Alabama, etc.

It depends on which college it is. You want to chose one that accepts a large number of transfers every year. Cornell and Northwestern are great examples for the Tier 1.

berkeley and ucla are relatively easy--they should be on par with all the other pubs you listed. just get good grades (which should also be easy) and write good essays. your essays will make or break you, probably...

It's not unheard of. In some cases, top schools are more likely to take a CC transfer than one from another top school, usually because the CC person isn't a prestige whore and can actually demonstrate a genuine desire to attend a specific school for a specific reason.

usually because it's more believable to state "shitty academics" as a reason for transfer when coming from a cc

edit: both marshall and i could've been trolling without notice--in my case it was intended.

this interface is semi-shitty.

The 25th %ile GPA for Berkeley transfer admits is 3.50. Anybody who could actually get into any 4 year college could go to a CC, then transfer to Berkeley.
