Do I have a chance for any Ivy League with a poor SAT and High school score?

Transfer Students

<p>I was wondering if I have a chance to transfer to an Ivy league school with a poor (below 1800) SAT and not a really good high school grade. </p>

<p>I will be transferring after I finish my Associates in Science from a CC. If things go as planned I should finish with a 4.0 Gpa. </p>

<p>Colleges don’t care about your hs grades if you had two years of good cc grades</p>

<p>So I hear. But they still ask for transcripts…and apart from that, most of the Ivy’s want you to submit the SAT as well.</p>

<p>I’m not dead set on an Ivy. I was just curious to know my chances.</p>

<p>As a highschool student, very little if any with those stats, unless you are an impoverished kid from the ghetto and taking care of 5 siblings, while working, or something similar. </p>

<p>As a transfer, good college grades will supersede poor high school grades. They use it to see what kind of student you are. If you were a 4.0 student in high school and barely a 3.0 in cc, that’s a bad look. The converse is a very good one.</p>

<p>You will want to pull up you sats to atleast 2000 though, even as a transfer.</p>

<p>What major are you trying to get into? </p>

<p>Thanks for the reply. I want to major in computer science. </p>

<p>So do the SAT’s matter even after 64 + credits of college? I am not impoverished or anything though I did do my school from a third world country. </p>

<p>For far I’ve completed 38 credits and have a 4.0</p>

<p>Maybe at Cornell. It takes a lot of transfers, more than other Ivies I think, it also has better CS major.</p>

<p>Thanks for your reply @DrGoogle‌. Will look for a Cornell thread on here. I wonder if I should re-take the SAT’s but I’m not sure I can afford an IVY anyway so not sure if it will be worth it.</p>

<p>I also have no EC’s apart from being on the community college mathematics team.</p>
