<p>How far should a student reach when transferring?? is it normal to come from a mediocre 4 year to a top 50 liberal arts school? where do CC students transfer?? have any of you had a lot of success transferring up in schools and where did you apply/come from??</p>
<p>Im transferring out of a school thats towards the end of the 1st tier on US NEWS for LACs.
i have a 3.5 and done a fair amount volunteer work and stuff around campus-- I'm applying to Bard, Skidmore, Bates, Ithaca, Reed, Lewis & Clark, Colorado College, Colby, and Hobart William Smith. chances?</p>
<p>Seeing as though most of these schools accept very few transfers im just going play it like crabs and hedge my bets. i've read of a lot of success from Community College transfers how about some success stories from CC students and from lower level Liberal arts schools??</p>
<p>It depends. If you had good high school stats, but chose to go to a school beneath yourself, it probably won’t be too hard transferring up. If you’re a freshman now, it’s not too bad transferring into these colleges if you had near the stats their freshman admits are at.</p>
<p>thanks for responding. well im a sophomore, and my HS record was a little shotty i prolly graduated with a 2.7 i got like a 1700 on the SATs but from what i know because im two years out of HS this wont matter so much…or will it??</p>
<p>has anyone out there transfered into these schools or top tier LACs out of average schools?</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter where you transfer from as long as you have a good GPA plus 30+ credits. Many students from CC or low-ranked universities have transferred to top 50 schools or ivy league schools.<br>
I have completed 50 credits at a local community college and have been getting many offers from universities like Tulane, Cornell, Sarah Lawrence, St. John, Lehigh, Maryland, Texas Tech, and many more.</p>

<p>Some colleges still require SAT scores and high school records even if you have completed 30+ credits. Each college is different.
If you have less than 30 credits, colleges will normally weigh your SAT scores and high school GPA heavily.</p>
<p>If you browse through this thread there are many successful stories of students who have been admitted to great universities.</p>
<p>And if it has been two years since you took the SAT then the score will not matter anymore since you can NOT retrieve them.</p>
