Can a community college student from california transfer to columbia?

<p>My friend of mine whats to know. </p>

<p>His stats:
CC- Santa Monica College
Gpa- 4.0 (2yr)
High school-3.2
Activities- swimming and volunteers in africa and mexico.
Background- Congo/kenya</p>

<p>SAT scores?</p>

<p>You dont need to show your sat scores if you have done 2 years of college, you already have the associate degree.</p>

<p>Not sure if this is helpful, but there is someone these boards that transferred from a CCC to Stanford :D You might want to check transfer admission rates and statistics for Columbia Columbia</a> University Office of Undergraduate Admissions - Transfer Admission</p>

<p>It's possible. It's a crapshoot though for highly competitive schools like Columbia. It'll depend more than just your GPA though... it'll be heavily contingent upon your ECs, essays, recs, and luck. They only take a handful of students among a batch of very qualified students. Good luck!</p>

<p>"You must take or have taken either the SAT or the ACT to be considered for transfer admission, and the scores must be directly reported to Columbia from the appropriate testing agency."</p>

<p>Sorry to burst your bubble dude, but I do believe you must report your SAT scores. I applied to Columbia after my 2 years of CC last year and I had to report all my SAT scores.</p>

<p>i heard 10 people from santa monica college transferred to columbia recently.
also smc is one of the top 3 community colleges that have students transfer to NYU.</p>
