Transferring from a CC?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University
1

<p>Hello! I go to CC and I will probably get my AA Degree with a 3.8+ GPA. I have a Moroccan Mother and a German dad.</p>

<p>SAT: 1550
ACT: 28</p>

<p>My Highschool GPA is low (about 3.1 U/W) with a heavy course load (several AP Classes) but I'm hoping my College GPA will let them ignore that. I also have a full time job. </p>

<p>What should I improve on?
How far does having a full time job go?
Does my ethnicity help me?</p>

<p>Also in case I don't get in and have to go to Baruch College instead, what factors can help me get accepted into Columbia's MBA program by the time im 30? Thanks!</p>

<p>Oh and those of you who go to Columbia, is it worth it? I'd probably be atleast 50k in debt when I graduate but is it worth it?</p>

<p>It is more difficult to transfer into Columbia than to have applied as a HS Senior.</p>

<p>Typical transfer students to Columbia have stellar HS backgrounds – the sort of student that was admitted to several schools like Columbia. Frankly, your HS background makes your Columbia transfer chances near impossible.</p>

<p>I knew it would be a long shot but I’d like to know what I should work on to transfer in.</p>

<p>Your HS performance will be evaluated – it’s unavoidable. It’s water under the bridge. I’m sure there are many colleges that you’d flourish. A school with as stringent a transfer scenario as Columbia shouldn’t be on your list, IMHO.</p>
