<p>What is the likelihood of someone transferring from a CC after a year (two years maybe?) with poor HS stats but stellar college stats? I am talking 4.0.</p>
<p>I want to get into:</p>
<p>Cornell
and
Dartmouth</p>
<p>Any advice?</p>
<p>Depends on the program/college you're applying to, extra-curricular activities, rigor of courseload (easy As vs. As in harder subjects) strength of essays, and in some cases, SAT scores.</p>
<p>Definitely possible. 4.0 with good essay and rec of course. SAT and hs gpa might still hold weight as first year transfer.</p>
<p>I would be at the Arts and Science college. My major I want to do is Chemistry and Physics double major.</p>
<p>What SAT score would be competitive for an Ivy of that caliber? and what EC's should do?</p>
<p>I have over 100 volunteer hours and am a Radiology Tech part time. Heh, I don't know how stellar that looks.</p>
<p>Any other advice?</p>
<p>I will give you a succes story. My next door neighbor went for MDCC to Columbia last year. Family could not afford four year college for him, so he took this option, two years at CC and Ivy league instead of going to State University.</p>
<p>Anyone can say they have 100 or 500+ service hours, so you're right, I don't know how "stellar" that looks either. If you're applying as a junior transfer (60 or more credits completed), SATs and HS records won't weight as heavily, depending on the institution. A competitive SAT score would be 1400 and up. As far as ECs, be a leader and show passion for something rather than just joining clubs for the hell of it.</p>
