<p>I was just curious as to the process of applying to an Ivy League from a community college. Is that common? Can anyone give me advice or let me know any experience you've had with this? </p>
<p>Thanks! :)</p>
<p>heya, check out the ivy sites, but they are “open” to community college transfers, for the most part. to reiterate, i applied to cornell, dartmouth and yale. </p>
<p>make sure your GPA is HIGH and that you take the SAT I, preferably with the subject tests (i did not take the latter, but i have a career to help with credibility).</p>
<p>upenn is also a good option, as are some of the other private universities. </p>
<p>most important thing is to do your research on which program is the best fit for you. an ivy does no good if the professors don’t match your interests.</p>
<p>okay, well, it does on your resume, but you might be miserable for a few years.</p>
<p>by the way, some ivy’s take sophomore transfers (like cornell).</p>
<p>some colleges such like dartmouth are community college freindly~~~ while others such as yale seldom admit community college students.</p>
<p>It should be noted that all, with the exception of Harvard and Princeton, take transfers. It’s rare, sure. But it happens every year.</p>
<p>I think all the ivies take Community College transfers… except Harvard and Princeton</p>
<p>The Ivy league is an athletic conference, there is nothing different from applying to transfer to one of the 8 schools in the Ivy league than to any other college in the nation. </p>
<p>You need to: read the sticky thread, Transfer Admissions 101; Search this forum for relevant threads; and read the websites of the college you’re interested in.</p>
