<p>When I say bad high school gpa, I mean in the 2.3 range. </p>
<p>Even if I get perfect college grades and have outstanding ECs, will my chances still be ruined from my high school years?</p>
<p>From a university by the way, not a community college</p>
<p>Probably. Most transfers to ivies come from similar institutions, and nearly all were admitted/very competitive for admission in the freshmen round.</p>
<p>What is an even better question is that do you think you can make it at an ivy league school? Why did you have a 2.3 GPA? Maybe an ivy league isn’t the right school for you.</p>
<p>I really don’t have a good reason for having a low GPA but I can explain a bit why I decided to turn it around. I know I can handle an ivy league school because it seems like the challenge that I’ve been looking for and it’s almost the only choice if I want to go into investment banking</p>
