<p>I am new to this, so apologizes if i make a mistake. </p>
<p>I am a community college student 17, sophomore from California hoping to transfer junior year. Due to personal health issues (pretty bad) during sophomore year of high school I dropped out and got my GED. I have had a 4.0 throughout cc and have been involved with clubs on campus, volunteering for a department, working for a doctors office, and volunteering overseas. Also for ecs I have played many sports, play a few instruments, and do art. I am planning on applying to most UC's and possibly ivy leagues. Lets say I do phenominally on my ACTs or SATs do you think it is worth it to apply to Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Columbia, or Stanford.</p>
<p>Its always worth it to apply but dont burn yourself out on those applications I’d say Berkeley is probably a match if you’ve done all of the prereqs but Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Columbia, and Stanford are reaches for any student. My brother had your same stats and got denied by UPenn, Cornell, Yale, NYU, and Columbia. Columbia sent him a letter saying that they want him to “join” them at Columbia GS(general studies). He was a business major and that seems to be increasingly hard to get admitted as. What is your major?</p>
<p>He was also rejected by Duke and Brown. Duke was a sad one because we are related one of the professors there. Looks like that didnt help much! lol</p>
<p>Many of the Ivies take very, very few transfers. I would not necessarily say it’s impossible to do what you’re talking about, but I would say that for most of the Ivies, it’s a longer shot than gaining freshman admission is.</p>
<p>Treat the ivy league applications like lotto tickets. Stanford has a 2% or less transfer rate. So, if you have the $90 or so per application money to spare as well as the time to write out all of those applications, do it for fun and see what happens. Otherwise, with a 4.0, you should be able to have a good chance of getting into either Berkeley or UCLA and almost all the other UCs and CSUs.</p>
<p>If you want a small, private liberal arts college experience and can afford the cost, there are many colleges that would accept you–Santa Clara University, USC, etc etc etc.</p>
<p>Since the ivy league schools are hard to get into even with perfect stats, be sure to concentrate on picking a few schools outside of the ivy schools that you are really interested in, because your chances are good there.</p>
<p>Is honors program hard? What does the program entail? I am in community college right now and I was wondering if i should sign up for it. I have enough GPA to be a candidate.</p>
