Transfer Students

<p>Alright guys, I hate to do this, really, I do. It's time for another "chance me thread!"</p>

<p>I'll start by giving you lovely CCers a little backround information.</p>

<p>So I did rather poorly in High School. My grades were sub par and marginal at best. I think I finished High School with a 2.2 GPA, overall. I also never took the SAT reasoning test, as well as the ACT. I had the unfortunate pleasure of having a self loathing, dismal attitude towards school and life, as well as a drug problem. I am twenty two now and I am currently enrolled in Community College. Now, when I started Community College, I started out pretty poorly again, and lone behold, my GPA was terrible. So, after an upward trend I will end up having a 3.6-3.7(assuming I do well this Fall, which I definitely will). So with that being said will you fantastic folks chance me on the following schools:</p>

<p>Cornell CAS
Brown University</p>

<p>And for my STATS"
HS GPA: 2.2
College GPA: 3.6-3.7 range from my CC's Honors Program
SAT/ACT Scores: Not Taken
ECs: VP of the Political Science Forum, Writer for the school paper, President of the Creative Writing Club,published research in a junior academic journal, Internship for the Obama Campaign, currently working on writing a screen play,Phi Theta Kappa, Volunteering at the county library, painting.
Letters of REC: Should be outstanding works of art
Essays: Excellent essays specifically tailored for each school</p>

<p>My intended major will be Creative Writing with a minor in Film and Media Studies. I will also apply to some other safety schools, seeing as my two dream schools are very high reaches.</p>

<p>So I would love it if you guys could tell me what you think my chances are, or maybe offer some suggestions and or advice. It would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>What year are you in? If your aiming towards Brown I’m pretty sure you need an SAT score and you can still take it now.</p>

<p>I’m a sophomore, seeking transfer for junior status. Also, on the Brown website, it states that SAT scores are not required for transfer. It might be looked down upon though.</p>

<p>Make sure you apply to some safety schools. Brown is tough, you have a much better shot at Cornell, but there is never any guarantees in the Ivy world even for those with a 4.0.</p>
