Transfer from my community college to Rice or University of London

<p>Oxford doesn’t have “transfer students” in any shape or form.

@Oxford Website

A student cannot transfer to Oxford to complete a course begun elsewhere.

<h2>Do you even realize how ridiculously difficult it is to get into Oxford as a 1st year? International students who get into Oxford as a 1st year usually are capable of getting into Ivies. </h2>

<p>In the scenario that you get a 4.0 at a community college taking the same amount of hours, you would have a 3.1 cumulative GPA. In this scenario you still be automatically disqualified from:</p>

<li><p>Rice

@Rice University

<li><p>NYU

@NYU

Typically, the successful candidate will have completed at least a year of college credit (minimum thirty semester hours) and maintained at least a “B+” average overall, although the most competitive candidates usually exceed these **minimum standards.<a href=“keep%20in%20mind%20that%20NYU%20defines%20a%20B+%20as%20a%203.33”>/b</a>

<p>This is not including the implicitly stated minimum GPA requirements of Cornell (B+) and Georgetown (B+). I would imagine the European schools to have minimum requirements similar to these, if not stricter. Keep in mind that these are just the minimum requirements to apply. If you want to look at the minimum GPAs of students accepted then the GPA needed would be even higher. </p>

<p>You can still apply to these schools, but I’m telling you now that you’ll be rejected by all of them. No matter how good your story is, the schools you’re looking at won’t accept a C student. European universities are not holistic in admissions like U.S schools. In fact, quite the opposite.</p>

<p>I’m not trying to discourage you from going to college, but you really need to look at some different schools. Better yet, take some time off and do something interesting, then go back to a community college and dominate. Doing this will make your high school record irrelevant and tell adcoms that you’ve grown.</p>

<p>I’m really not sure why you would think your story would negate your mediocre grades. Time is precious, I wouldn’t even waste time applying to these schools and giving them money for application fees.</p>
