<p>I am wondering would it be possible to transfer after I receive my associates from a community college to Harvard, U Penn, Cornell or any other ivy league school?</p>
<p>here is some info to help you form your opinion:
-I am a mother of two who has support from the father and grandmother.
-I am a GED recipient who will start this upcoming Fall (full-time 12 credits On Campus)
-I will be taking Math Prep 1 (there are 2 prep courses you must complete before receiving college level credit)
- I am a Volunteer at my local Economic Development Commission 10 hours a week. I also Volunteer once a month at the homeless shelter to make food for the Women's and Children Division.
- I work a regular job 30 Hours a week.
- I am planning to apply for honors Next Fall.
- I am also a videographer and photographer.</p>
<p>From my understanding, the Maximum of years completed is 2 years minimum is one to be able to transfer and they don't under any circumstances accept online class. Thanks in Advance.</p>
<p>im not an expert on IVY’s but keep in mind some dont even take transfer students
and the ones that do only take the top 1-4 percent of transfers in the entire applicant pool, not just the transfer applicants.</p>
<p>i really suggest you talk to a counselor @ the IVYs you want to go too…or talking to your CC or posting in the IVY league section on collegeconfidential. sorry i couldnt be of much help. :(</p>
<p>it is possible to transfer though, there are people on this forum who have and im sure will chime in soon enough!</p>
<p>Definitely possible. You will be hard and will require a lot of work. I suggest do your research NOW and and figure out exactly what you need to do.</p>
<p>umm let’s get real. There’s a obvious reason why they are IVY LEAGUE schools. Students who even have perfect grade and participated in various clubs & honor societies as well as those who perfected themselves in college cannot get in. I am just saying. Plus, why do you think Harvard doesn’t take transfer students? Only looking at the dreamy schools and thinking that you WILL get in will only shatter it. There will be serious consequences. That’s why students who applied to only the ivies even with best grades and did not apply to schools will below ivies had to face consequences. Students are having such a hard trying to overcome this college process and if there’s a chance it’s a miracle…Like I said, let’s get real.</p>
<p>my advice would be don’t get blinders on and focus on one school… transfer admission is fuzzy math at best and guarantees are hard to come by.</p>
<p>Go to your school’s transfer center and let them know your intentions… it is their job to help you. You can also start contacting universities, they should have a transfer representative… ask them what you need to be doing to make your application competitive. There is nothing wrong with setting your sights high, but you need to have a few safety nets.</p>
<p>Smith and Mount Holyoke recruit at my local cc. Bryn Mawr has a special prgram for non-traditional age students. If you like Barnard you might like these colleges as well.</p>
<p>It is very possible. Check to see if your college has an honors society such as Phi Theta Kappa. They will circulate your email address to colleges’ mailing lists, such as Cornell. </p>
<p>Most importantly, keep your grades up. Maintain a high GPA to show this is what you truly want.</p>
<p>Another thing. If you have time, try visiting professors in their office hours who you feel have seen your hard-work ethic (earned As and participate in class) and ask them for advice about your academic future. After getting to know you better outside of the classroom, they may be able to write you a stellar recommendation letter should you need it.</p>
<p>Hi guys!
I am 20 years old Japanese student.
I will be a Monroe Community College student in January 2011.
and I want to transfer to higher level 4 year college such as Ivy’s.
because only these colleges has need-based financial aids.
and I want to study Finance or Business Administration.
and enroll Army ROTC.
So now, what should I do?
Of cause,I know that I have to study hard…
Is it better to contact to Ivy colleges admission office now?</p>
<p>and If I want to study Finance or Business, What college is best to learn?</p>
<p>Yes it is possible to go from a community college to the Ivy League. I started off at a community college in Toronto and received a diploma. I then received a bachelor’s degree after community college at a pretty good university. I then applied and got was accepted to Harvard, Yale, Columbia and UPenn graduate schools. I graduated from Yale University.</p>
<p>Lana,
I’ve looked at business schools throughout the Ivy League. I have a warm GPA, not hot, but have built a massive recent interest in business, finance, & economics. I will have a bachelor’s degree in under a year. Transfer can be an option with the advantage you have taken of what your community has offered you. A rep. from HBS’s hiring deck ‘leaked’ (however trustworthy) info about, unfortunately, the importance of the pedigree of the candidate’s undergraduate degree. He said, though, that the college should maintain a generally neutral, unbiased outlook - sometimes that doesn’t happen, but the outcome depends on each incident.
Stats look good for the schools, (salary avg. for an alumnus or alumna) except for the acceptance rates. Stanford - 7%. Harvard & Yale - both around 9%. Duke U & Cornell hover around 17%. Stanford has a 3-round acceptance cycle and they recommend applying on the first round if you are not seeking heavy competition, which comes in the second round. I wish you luck in this endeavor as well.</p>
<p>AllyBoy,
Where did you finish undergrad? I go to a state cc in middle GA that has a graduation rate of 13% (lower than the acceptance rate at Duke . . .) and does not seem to get my non-bleeding-heart sensibilities. It’s too late for me to transfer hours. How are my odds? I am gauging my chances here, too.</p>
