Community College to Top Colleges

Transfer Students
1

<p>Let's say I have a 3.7 GPA at a community college with 50 credits after 1.5 years of being there, will transfer with 65 credits. I have a 4.0 in my major. The down side is that I had a 2.0 GPA in high school. I am also Puerto Rican and Male. </p>

<p>Just based on that info with good EC and rec's what would you say the chances are that one could transfer to schools such as</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins
Brown
Cornell
USC
Dartmouth
Emory
NYU</p>

<p>Do you think theres no chance at all? Little chance? Moderate chance?</p>

<p>A 3.7 is an A- average and may fall into the “good enough” category to merit applying to the schools you listed above. It might also depend on the degree program you plan to enter: for example, school’s like vetted URM’s entering STEM programs. Regardless, since they’re all private, I believe you have a statistical chance of getting into at least one. Good luck!</p>

<p>The Ivies and JHU are extreme reaches. For USC, Emory, and NYU you have a fair chance, as long as you aren’t applying to Stern at NYU.</p>

<p>Just a heads-up, though: NYU is extremely stingy.</p>
