what exactly gives you the impression that this applicant can get into these schools? in my opinion it is extremely unlikely, and he would just be wasting hundreds of dollars on applications for the majority of these schools. don’t get peoples hopes up. sure, being in the military is nice, but it doesnt mean you have the ability to do well at these schools. a 21 ACT with a poor high school record and without a very high GPA at a CC simply isnt going to cut it. community college is substantially easier than most 4 year universities, and without a near 4.0 it’s going to be impossible to transfer to schools on the level of stanford and the rest of the ivy league. penn state, umass amherst, and miami are definitely possible. maybe even berkeley, depending on the major you declare.</p>
