And I have extreme uneasiness in the fact--and I am accepting it as fact--that minorities need to go through a 4 year program to approach that level of success.

I don't disagree with the theses around the privilege of white folks being given opportunities despite lack of domain degree. I do take issue with the fact that our conversation isn't about solving this issue.

I cannot in good conscience advise anyone into a 4 year undergraduate program at this time, unless it begins with 2 years of community college. College is untenably expensive and I have seen too many lives ruined by student loans.

In the American system, at least, the first 2 years of undegrad coursework can largely be taken at a community college at much lower cost.

ahh, do the credits transfer? here in Canada I find the quality is much lower for STEM programs (not that universities don't have a *ton* of work to do on that front)

Yep, most CCs have transfer agreements that are actually super-beneficial to the student.
