<p>Hi, I am currently enetering my second year at a community college. I was hoping to graduate in a year and a half but cannot because 2 courses I am required to take are not offered in the fall. Basically, at the end of the fall semester I will fall short of recieving an assocciates in computer science by 7 credits (Biology 2 & Data Structures). However, I will still have completed 60 credit hours by that time. I am thinking of transferring out in January and major in Management Information Systems where ever I may go. Currently, I have a 3.61 gpa but know I will raise it to a 3.7 by the end of the fall semester. My plan is to take my data structures course online while I am away at college & to take biology2 the summer I get back. However, my highschool academics were not too good to say the least........ 2.8 gpa and 1070 sat scores (I went to a private school I dont know if that makes a difference). Basically, my question is do I have a legitimate chance at the following schools:</p>
<p>Fordham
Bentley
NYU
Cornell
Depaul
Carnegie Mellon</p>
<p>Also, please respond if you can think of any other colleges that may be of interest to me! thanks</p>
<p>great chance at:
fordham</p>
<p>not so good chance at:
nyu</p>
<p>reach at:
cmu, cornell</p>
<p>i don't know anything about bentley or depaul. don't worry too much about your HS stats. just concentrate on raising your gpa as high as possible and writing good essays.</p>
<p>thanks!.....anyone else...please?</p>
<p>where is your community college located and what is the name...also, have you been taking honors courses. Being a CC student myself, I know it's harder for a GPA to look good coming from a CC compared to the rest of the applicants, making NYU, CMU, and Cornell all reaches.</p>
<p>I go to Niagara County CC in buffalo ny. No, I am not taking any honors courses, I dont think my school even offers them. Also, I am a member of PTK (I dont know if that makes a difference)</p>
<p>PTK makes a difference. I know that on Cornell's application, they ask if you're a member so it must have some sort of significance. Besides Cornell and CMU, I'd say you have a great shot. Try not to let your high school stats drag you down since you'll have two years of college on your belt.</p>
<p>I would retake the SATs.</p>
<p>What do you guys think about Villanova? Do i have a chance?</p>
