<p>I have come to understand that a good amount of kids who transfer are kids who are coming from community colleges with a 4.0 GPA. How would I (3.5-3.8 GPA at a 4-year school, write for newspaper, DJ on school radio station, and apart of PRSSA club) be weighed against CC students?</p>
<p>This is a general question, but if you have specifics with UConn, University of Maryland, and Ithaca College, that would be great.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>In California cc students get highest priority for transfers to all of the University of California campuses. Not sure how this holds up for the rest of the country though.</p>
<p>There aren't as many CC students with 4.0's as you think. I think you could easily get into UConn and Ithaca, and probably Maryland as well.</p>
<p>I would not worry.</p>
<p>Thanks guys, I feel a little more at ease now...anyone else out there know more?</p>
<p>The better the college you are transferring from, the better the shape you are in. I think people get confused here because of all of the California community college kids who post. CA has a unique system because it's 4 year state schools are so overcrowded, whereby they all but guarantee kids can transfer to a UC or CC.</p>
<p>At private colleges and state schools that don't have a 'feeder' approach, coming from a strong college is a huge advantage.</p>
<p>There's no mistaking the condescending tone you approach the subject of cc's with. What is the problem with people at 2 years schools having the advantage for admissions to a 4-year school over student already attending one?</p>
<p>Of the schools you listed, I would say you have a great shot at each of them. What are your SAT scores.. Assuming they are within the middle 50% and you have a 3.6 or higher, you have nothing to worry about.</p>
<p>Thanks, those were extremely helpful...and for the record, I have nothing against CC students at all.</p>
<p>My response wasn't directed at you at all. It was to the poster above mine who I had seen sort of passively bashing community colleges in another thread as well.</p>
<p>Ohh ok, I didn't take it personally, just saying...thanks so much for your advice.</p>
