<p>I'm currently finishing off my second year at a community college and will be receiving my AA some time next semester. Columbia University seems to be the perfect school for a transfer student such as myself and I've completely fallen in love with the college's history. Now, in college, I have a 4.0 GPA, I've done a couple of internships and have always been extremely active when it comes to extracurricular activities. Even though my college resume is outstanding, I can't say my high school GPA/SAT scores reflect in the same direction. If I have my A.A, is it required for me to send in my SAT/High School GPA to Columbia? Taking into consideration my less than average grades in HS, are my chances of making it bleak?</p>
<p>“Due to the timing of the transfer process, we are generally unable to consider grades earned in the second semester of the year of application; thus, high school grades, rigor of program and standardized test scores are all important in the evaluation of transfer credentials, especially for students applying for sophomore standing.”

<p>Sounds like high school grades should be sent… but take a look at the website for yourself.</p>
