<p>How many ppl here have transferred from a CC to an Ivy League school? or to a school thats tough to get into like U Penn, UC Berkeley, UCLA? And what was your GPA??</p>
<p>UCLA and UCBerkeley are much easier to get into from CCs than the Ivies (BTW- Penn is an Ivy)</p>
<p>I know that already and that wasnt my question anyway....</p>
<p>well to berkley and UCLA it is thousands every year, ivies not to many ( maybe 50 a year)</p>
<p>tncpauld, that's a guess, not an actual figure.</p>
<p>I attend a community college in Connecticut, and we alone send, on average, 3 students to Yale per year. Brown and Harvard are also fairly common for our graduates.</p>
<p>You can do it -- you just need to make sure you're doing a liberal arts curriculum and taking classes that will likely transfer for credit.</p>
<p>Also, getting into any of the UC schools is near impossible if you're not an in-state student. Berkeley is the most accepting, and only 9% of each class is from out-of-state. Most of their CC transfer students are coming in through CC articulation agreements.</p>

<p>NVCC--> Cornell... UVA and W&M. </p>
<p>I did not apply to any other Ivies after reading that Princeton will not take any transfers until the spring of 2006 due to high retention rates... I figured that is the same with the rest until I got an invite to apply. But yeah you can do it!</p>
<p>I went from a cc to uc berkeley - starting this fall. got into the other ucs i applied to. didnt apply to any ivies. love california and dont like loans, ha.</p>
<p>its very possible to go from a community college to an outstanding university, just work hard and good luck!</p>

<p>neboola, where did you hear that Princeton is taking Spring transfers?</p>
<p>I think that is a rumor...they are not taking transfers anytime soon.</p>
<p>yeah that is what I read... it said that they will consider taking some at a later date.. i thought it was spring this coming spring... I was reading their page about a year ago.</p>
<p>I am transferring to Berkeley (College of Chemistry) from a CC in the Bay Area. I also got into UCLA and all the other UCs I applied to. GPA after Spring 2005 is 3.58. I had to appeal to get into Berkeley :)</p>
<p>woo, another bear! </p>
<p>good to know that some appeals actually work, hehe, congrats!</p>

<p>Thanks fellow Bear! :)</p>
<p>I'm going to UPenn in the fall as a junior.
Transferring from a CC in Houston, TX....73 credits, 3.46 GPA. No a high GPA, but I have also have a lot of EC's/work experience (I am a licensed Real Estate Agent, I also manage a volunteer organization here in Houston, etc. etc.)
FYI...I was also acccepted into Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, and Tulane...and Yale (well, Yale wanted me to come in for two semesters as a Non-degree student to "prove" myself).</p>
<p>Princeton has an indefinite hold on transfer applicants, including for spring.</p>
<p>thomash, did you apply to wharton?</p>
<p>Ze...No, SAS... completeing my Economics degree.</p>
<p>I'm just curious but is it just people from CC's in California that have actually made it into Berkley? or are there also some other people from other unkown CC's that have gone to for example MIT, Standford, CalTech?</p>
<p>The UC's are a public university system that was initially created to serve and educate residents of California. Of course many people, including transfers, are accepted into the system every year. However, California students are favored, making it more difficult to get in out of state, especially to schools like UC Berkeley and UCLA. Private schools like Stanford and Caltech are not funded by the state, and do not need to give priority to California residents.</p>
