<p>Hi! I'm an international student and planning to go to a community college in USA. I have heard of the transfer system in California. But if I want transfer to school in other states such as NYU or Columbia, do they provide opportunities to CC student too?</p>
<p>And is there any great community college in New York City that has better transfer rate to NYU or other university?</p>
<p>Please help me. Thanks!</p>
<p>Yes, it’s possible. I go to Los Angeles City College and someone who went here transferred to Columbia a year or two ago. Obviously though you have to kick ass and get good grades and awesome ECs and whatnot, it’s a friggin Ivy League college.</p>
<p>Also, check out Columbia University - “School of General Studies”. They take a significant amount of transfer students every year.</p>
<p>Thank you all very much!</p>
<p>^^ That’s only for nontrad students</p>
<p>I have a classmate who was accepted to GS and another who was accepted to CC from a California community college.</p>
<p>Yes. A rep from Columbia who came to my school said that if you’ve taken a one year or longer break from school, you are considered nontraditional and should apply to Columbia General Studies. If you haven’t had any break in schooling, apply to Columbia College.</p>
<p>Thank you all!</p>
<p>You need good high school grades and community college grades to transfer to Columbia. Unlike the UC’s Columbia checks high school stuff and SATs. I have no knowledge of the NYU’s transfer system however.</p>
