I think this depends on how you do in high school and college.
If you graduate from high school with high grades, took appropriate course work, have great college entrance scores, impressive things to put on your application etc., you may as well try for scholarships and admission to the school of your choice. Go for it when you get the opportunity.
If you go to another college and do very well, you would be in an even stronger position, but if you mess up you might have lost an opportunity.
I would advise applying to more than one place, and talking to people (at least in the admissions office), before making your final decision. I think it would be OK to apply to your dream location and backup schools as well. Even if your dream university does not accept you, you still have great opportunities, and you can even apply again later if you wish - especially if you do great at your less than first choice school.
Many individuals believe that academics play the only role when competitive institutions make their admissions decisions. Your academic background is only a part of it. Colleges and universities attempt to look at the entire person and not just a few parts of that person. Typically, competitive institutions will look a the following when making an admissions decision.
Admission requirements: * Essay(s) required * Required: SAT Reasoning Test or ACT * If submitting ACT, the writing section is required Very important admission factors: * Character/Personal Qualities * Class Rank * Application Essay * Extracurricular Activities * Recommendations * Rigor of secondary school record * Standardized Test Scores * State Residency * Talent/Ability * Academic GPA Important admission factors: * Alumni Relation * Racial/Ethnic Status * Volunteer Work * Work Experience * First generation college student Thus, you can see it's just not as simple as attending a previous college or university. If you do not meet the admissions requirements and get accepted to the school of your choice, it does not mean denied forever. You can then start at another regionally accredited instituion and apply again, once you feel you have met the requirements.

Is there an application deadline for University of California?

Can you apply to college as a freshman after going to college for a few years?
Yes, because freshman entry and lower division transfer is often treated the same. For both, they require HS transcripts, SAT/ACT scores (if any) and college transcripts, if any courses were taken, less than 60 semester units. Just be sure to take classes that will transfer. A great tool would be assist.org. Some JCs offer high school-jump start programs where you complete the last 2 years of HS in the CC level setting, and these 2 years are the same as the 2 years you would have to take in college anyway! And those units transfer, but you will be considered an upper division transfer... not a freshman applicant. This option is great if you want to save 2 years of school and upper division transfer is a lot easier than trying to get into a college at the freshman level. It is possible to do this. However, unless the courses from the community college will transfer to the university, you may be spinning your wheels. This is because the university could require the same courses for your degree! Many community colleges have agreements with universities and so have a list of courses that will transfer. The answer varies widely depending on the college in question. Many (probably) most will be fine with it, but the safest thing to do is always to ask them directly.

Sat scores needed to get in to University of Texas in Austin?
The Attorney General of the State of Texas ruled several years ago that standardized test scores cannot be used as the sole basis for denying an applicant admission to a state-supported college or university. Thus, there are no "required" SAT scores for admission to UT-Austin. Admissions decisions are relative. That is, it depends entirely upon the applicant pool at the time. UT-Austin has a set number of new students (freshmen and transfers) that they admit each year. Presuming that they operate like most other universities, a number of factors are considered when making admission decisions - standardized test scores (SAT or ACT), high school and/or junior college GPA, essay quality (content, style, grammar), high school class rank, recommendations, applicants' experiences (participation in extracurricular activities, volunteer service, leadership activities, etc.) and, perhaps, personal interview results. Remember, that ALL state-supported colleges and universities in Texas are required by law to admit any applicant who graduates in the top 10% of his or her class in high school.
