I just finished my first year of SUNY Community College and I thought it went pretty well. I will give you my stats and see where I lay a good chance.
HS GPA: 85% (We didn’t use a point scale)
SAT: 1410 out of 2400 (I have seen that SAT scores don’t matter for transferring so I probably wont retake)
I never did any APs but I was straight A's and B's in pretty much all my Math and Science courses
Through my first year of CC:
CC GPA: 3.3 (I plan on rising this to a 3.6-3.7)
Courses I have taken:
Trig/College Algebra (B)
Calc I (I taken this twice. I gotta D first semester and an A second semester)
Intro to Computer Science (A)
Programming and Logic I (B)
English Comp I & II (A’s in both)
Literature Into Film (C - This class kinda sucked)
Macroeconomics (B)
American History I (A)
Courses I plan on taking:
Calc II
Physics I & II
Programming and Logic II
C++ Programming
American Literature I
Extras:
I have a part time job where work about 20 hrs/week since my Senior year in HS
I am an administrator for a programming website where we help out other people with programming problems (Stack Overflow)
In HS I played in AAU basketball and HS basketball
I have served in community service. I served at a local retirement home and helped the elderly people. I also did church work where I served at a homeless shelter.
I assisted coach a local CYO basketball team from grades 1-5
I don’t know if any of this information is useful or not for transfers. I am gonna list a few schools, a couple private and a couple instate. I am from NY state so most of them are from NY. I am going into a Computer Science degree and wanna transfer as I get my Associates, in my Junior year.
Interested:
Cornell (You always hear oddball stories of average-above average students getting in. Probably won’t happen though.)
RPI (More likely)
RIT
Syracuse
Clarkson
NYU (I wanna hear feedback on this haha)
SUNY Albany
Stony Brook
Penn State
Please give me feedback. I really would love to hear from you guys!
