Does all Community College courses count toward law or business school


Does all Community College courses count toward law or business school?
I am attending UC Berkeley and got in as a Freshman. But I took some courses at Community College at the same time. I took over 20 units in cosmetology courses for fun and got most of them Cs. How does that work? Thanks! I mean when I applying to these school. Thanks! And I am not a transfer student, just taking classes at CC for fun.

Very doubtful. Unless Berkley has a cosmetology school (?!) with equivalent clases, you're probably out of luck.

Most do count, but check with your community college to be sure. Also, when you transfer the credits, they may only choose to transfer the courses that apply to the major you are aiming for. In any case, you can contest any courses that didn't transfer over at your new college and can have them re-evaluated.

You are supposed to report all coursework when you apply to graduate school and the grades may or may not count against you (cosmetology is not exactly academic in nature). If you choose to hide the coursework, do a really good job of hiding them (leave no paper trail and certainly don't tell anyone about them). Graduate schools are not likely to invest time and money to do thorough background checks on applicants. But if someone reports you, you may get kicked out for lying on your graduate school application.
