My high school performance was weak, mid 80s with a couple AP’s thrown in the mix. Decent SAT’s but not great. 570 reading, 610 Math. Did better senior year, 95 second semester, a 99.6 my last quarter of high school. Which is when I started applying myself. I go to a local Community College, I am going into my fourth semester. I have a 4.0 GPA through three semesters, I’ve also taken calc 1 and 2 at my community college to strengthen my course rigor. I am president of my schools investment club, containing 40 members. I am a Phi Theta Kappa member, I work as a marketing director for a real estate office agent, as well as a working at Banana Republic. I also ran cross country for my community college in the fall. Colleges I’m looking at: Cornell CALS AEM, Boston College, Tufts University, Northeastern University, Columbia University, RPI, SUNY Binghamton, SUNY Buffalo, and UAlbany. I’d like to know my chances for these schools, as there isn’t a ton of transfer info. My school also has a transfer agreement with RPI and Cornell CALS. Thanks.
So, the IVIES have a low matriculation rate, meaning usually their transfer acceptences are about 1-2%, so, with your somewhat poor High School record (at least, poor for the Ivies) and only really having one EC (I don’t know if a sorority counts), your GPA won’t do much. But that all depends on what the ‘Transfer Agreement’ is. It might be different. The non-Ivies might be a good shot, but again, the higher caliber the school, the smaller the matriculation rate, and the smaller the transfer acceptance rate. Your low SAT might cost you as well. Do you have any safeties? Maybe in your state (like the state flagship?).
