Hello I am ınternatıonal student.This summer ı am goıng to joın a language course in Canada.
I want to study at economi.
I want to study at Harvard University.
My highschool point is 73/100.İts low.
After the course ı want to go the usa.Firstly I m lookıng for communıty colloge.Tıll I win Harvard ı will stay in usa.
I want to study communıty colloge becasue ı want to ımprove myself.
I want you to advise,suggestion.
I wish you all the best and starting at a community college is probably a good idea. Please re-evaluate your goals. A smart goal should be attainable. Getting into Harvard as a transfer student is extremely difficult even for the top 1% of students. You will have a greater chance of success with a more realistic end goal.
It’s good to have a dream. Harvard has an Extension School that may work well for you if your goal is a Harvard degree. You can also try to find out which community college Harvard tends to draw from to help you in your decision about which CC to attend.
You say transfer is diffucult need chance.
Lets say,I dont study at community colloge im just study sat,ielts.Thus is better?
how should i see way as international student?.
Is there any CC to attend to Harvard
Check out this website. In general admission to Harvard College is low at 5%. Transferring admission stats from a 4 year college is even lower ~ 1%.
But if you are after a Harvard degree, the Extension School shows how you can start an app for an undergraduate degree online then move to taking courses on campus that will lead to a liberal arts undergraduate degree. Check it out.
The extension program offers open enrollment courses. To be eligible for admission to their degree granting program, students must “earn [their] way in” by taking three classes and earning a B or better in each. 32% of those who intend to pursue an undergraduate degree earn the grades necessary and are considered for admission.
I wish you the best of luck!
I don’t want to be rude, but judging from the way that you are typing, I don’t believe you would be able to score high enough on the reading/writing portions of the SAT/ACT.
If you went to CC, even if you were top of your class, the chances of getting in are pretty much impossible.
I know that critiquing your grammar may appear rude, but I just want to give you some tips for correcting your statement.
OP is planning on improving his/her English on a language course this summer, as per that first post.
I think it would be good to get educated on other college choices. Everyone has heard of Harvard. It is certainly internationally known. You may simply not know about other schools.
There are many many schools that offer an equivalent education that might fit your needs. Can you buy a college guide or meet with someone who can guide you?
Can i get information with e-mail?
Yes,Harvard known but actually i want ivy schools.
Thank you all for helping me.
@getyourdestiny: Looking through your post history, you indicated you have a low GPA.
With that in mind, please know that in a recent freshman survey, 54% of accepted Harvard students had an unweighted 4.0 GPA in high school (basically a straight ‘A’ student). FWIW: the average unweighed GPA of a Harvard freshman was a 3.9 (basically an ‘A-’ student). It’s about the same at every ivy league school.
Unless an applicant has what is called “a hook” – meaning they are a recruited athlete and can play competitively in a Division 1 sport, or are a legacy (their mom or dad attended the college), or an underrepresented minority (meaning they are a US citizen of African American, Mexican American, Native American or mainland Puerto Rican heritage), or their mom or dad is a large money donor to the university – an applicant’s chances of getting accepted to any ivy league school with a low GPA are slim to none. (Do you know that idiom: https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/slim-to-none.194774/)
My advice: If you have a low GPA, you should NOT be looking at ivy league schools, but instead need to be looking at other colleges, specifically colleges from this list: https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/a-plus
The odds @123Mom456 describe above for Harvard Extension School seem more achievable if your aim @getyourdestiny is indeed Harvard.
