<p>Ok, i know im going a lil ahead of myself, but I'm really curious.</p>
<p>Let's say I get admitted to UCLA and transfer. One of the first things I will do when the term starts is to attend Career Fair to land myself an internship position (paid or non-paid) in an Investment Bank, Consulting Firm, or Accountancy Firm, hopefully at somewhat large and prestigious firm.</p>
<p>I know that when firms recruit college students (for a job position or intern), one of the first things they demand is the college transcript to see the GPA.</p>
<p>Well as you all know, I spent my first two years at community college, so when the recruiters actually see my transcript, they'll soon find out that it is actually my first year at UCLA and that I haven't actually completed any courses at UCLA, and it'll basically be all community college grades.</p>
<p>Do you know if this will hurt my chance of landing myself in an internship position at somewhat large prestigious firm? Would this place me at a disadvantaged situation compared to those who actually spent their freshman and sophomore years at UCLA competiting for the same position?</p>
<p>Do any of you know whether the recruiting firms look much into the SAT scores?
If so, what's the generally expected score they want out of the internship candidates?</p>
<p>not really.. SAT's high school. you're going in your 3rd year of college. my sister applied when she was a transfer junior through SJSU and got into all the big4 accting firms and they don't require SAT scores.. sure you can state that on your resume but it's not too big of a deal. and as for the presige of the actual UC.. as long as you did great/excellent in community college, that is good enough. plus, you can include your related coursework at the UC. THE real bar to your acceptance is how well you do in your interview.. so worry more on that, cause it doesn't matter what your stats are if you cannot back it up with good social/interactive skills to prove your knowledge.</p>
<p>oh really? Well some people were quoting that SAT score will follow you around for a long time.</p>
<p>Don't the most prestigious firms (JP Morgan, Lehman Bros, Goldman Sachs, Boston, Bain, Merrill Lynch, etc) demand SAT score? I know they would not weight as much as GPA and interviews, but won't they still play some part, even just a little?</p>
