<p>I’ve heard of so many CC students getting into prestigious schools. I think if you don’t get in, it will be because it’s more competitive than ever, and it wouldn’t have mattered where you were coming from. If you are able to show what kind of student you are (and you can do that anywhere), then that’s really all they need to see to gauge whether you’re a good intellectual fit.</p>
<p>If you’re very academically inclined, take more SAT subject tests and nail them with 700-800s to show you’re definitely a CCer as someone who is concerned with finances, period, not that you’re a low-caliber student.</p>
