<p>and Columbia/Cornell</p>
<p>can someone chance my friend?</p>
<p>3.888 gpa
2310 SAT Score
780 Lit SAT II
800 World History
800 U.S. History</p>
<p>Hs gpa: 3.98 weighted/3.3 unweighted</p>
<p>Half hispanic/half asian</p>
<p>a few decent ECs here and there (not sure what they are exactly)</p>
<p>Major: English</p>
<p>So wait does the University look at your High School performance as well or does it only look at your community college stats?</p>
<p>why did he/she go to a cc?</p>
<p>Low hs gpa. didn’t get in anywhere else</p>
<p>Does his/her CC have a transfer agreement with Cornell?</p>
<p>wait, can universities look at your high school achievements(GPA, awards, tests scores etc) or is it just based on work done at the community college?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>nope. thoughts on him getting in though?</p>
<p>zozobo: what was his major and what were his ECs? and where did he get in/end up? what was his race? thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Stanford admits transfer students as if it was creating an exotic petting zoo. Need high gpa plus a wow hook. Otherwise forget it… Be an ex-marine or a male cheerleader from the Pacific Rim or something else spectacular. The 1.5% transfer rate means almost all waste their $90 app fee.</p>
<p>Top private universities generally prefer 4-year students over those from community colleges.</p>
<p>^Absolutely untrue for Stanford.</p>
<p>i love how nobody in this thread has directly answered my question.</p>
<p>well stop making obnoxious comments to the people trying to help you and look at your friend’s stats yourself. he/she is obviously qualified to get into stanford, everyone’s saying at this point it comes down to a hook/luck</p>

<p>So you’re saying someone from, let’s say JHU, would be at a disadvantage?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>you’re right. i apologize</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, if you look at Stanford’s transfer admits a massive amount of them are from CCs and non-traditional backgrounds.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>yeah, this is what i’ve heard as well.</p>
