Community college to four year university tranfer

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm currently a senior in highschool and I've already began to receive decision letters from schools I applied to. I'm an international student, Japanese parents living in South America, and speak four languages fluently. I have participated in two volunteer organizations and have had short stories and poems published in newspapers and magazines. However, since I slacked during my junior and senior of high school, my GPA is extremely low and most of my top choice schools have already rejected me; which is why I'm considering Community College for a year then transferring to a four year university like NYU, UPENN, etc.
My GPA is 2.5.
My SAT IS 1850.
I'm certain that if I give my studies in college the seriousness I neglected my high school studies I'll be able to maintain a high GPA. </p>

<p>Is this possible? I am sure it has been done before, however I'm wondering if it's feasible with my stats. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>It’s absolutely feasible. But with community college, you’re largely on your own to find internships, take the right courses for your major, etc. I know someone who dropped out of high school, went to community college, and transferred to an Ivy League school. But he had stellar letters of recommendation and extracurriculars.</p>
