Chances of Having F1 Approved?

I was accepted into a community college at the start of this month, hope to transfer to the neighbouring business school at the end of the first two years.

I’m 18
Close to $100k self funded
Only applied to one college

I’m really nervous about this so any help or sharing of personal experiences would be great, I need to book my interview in the next few days.

Where's the community college?
What are you studying there?
Has the college provided you with all the necessary forms for your registration?

no expert on this but a quick google search returned the following:

An F-1 student may transfer between SEVP-certified schools. Regulations governing school transfers are in 8 CFR 214.2(f)(8). The transfer process is a way to electronically move Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) records and retain the same SEVIS identification (ID) number for the student.

so you just need to make sure that both colleges are SEVP certified.

Be sure the school in question is a state institution with no question transfer of credits to any major university such as university of Louisiana/Louisiana State. Some for profit schools try to pass themselves off as an accredited junior college.
