<p>Hello folks,
I am currently doing my Associates at a community college.
I am planning to transfer to Northwestern, University of Chicago, UW-Madison or JHU. Well the problem i am facing is with my high school. I did the British A levels and couldn't really score good grades in them. Hence, if i apply to any of these universities with those grades i wouldn't be accepted for sure. I am planning to get an alternative for those high school grades.
My current performance at community college is pretty good. My GPA is 4.0 and i am pretty much into research projects in the Phi Theta Kappa organization. I want to go for Biological Sciences (Genetics) as my majors. I am even involved in a few more clubs at my college and actively participate in mentoring programs. I have taken 12 honors credits till now and have got straight A's in those classes.
The only problem is the poor high school grades which i messed up because i was suffering from jaundice for around 2 months during my final year.
I work at the community college itself as a student employee in the admission office.
My SAT I score is 2250.
I am even planning to take SAT II for Biology and Chemistry.
I have tons of community service and in fact it's just been a year since i came to the US from India. I have worked with many leading Non-Government Organizations.</p>
<p>I just want to know that is there any alternative for those high school grades?? How about GED?? And what are my chances with GED and with these requirements. I have one and half year before i transfer. I want to somehow replace my grades by either taking GED. Guys please help me out and yeah .... I would surely do my best to get more resume building stuffs to get into these universities.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot in advance folks....</p>
