transferring into columbia

<p>What are the guidelines, as in academic-wise, in order to have a succesful transference from a college to Columbia. I noticed that at my current state that there is no way i can make it to Columbia, and it has always been my number one college. :[ But i was hoping that maybe i can transfer there for my last three years of college. So i need to know what i have to do during college in order to seal the deal that i would get accepted to Columbia for my sophomore year. Any advice would be gladly accepted. Thank you.</p>

<p>Do what you love! </p>

<p>A high GPA and high SATs are really important so study hard in first year and make sure you do well on the SATs. 3.8+ GPA and 2200 SATs are good MINIMUMS to aim for.</p>

<p>In college, do some extracurriculars you love, whatever those may be. The key here is that instead of compiling a laundry list of ECs, do a couple that you are really passionate about and will have heavy involvement in.</p>

<p>Develop a relationship with some professors, and be mindful of who will write your reccomendation letter(s) if you decide to apply.</p>

<p>Your high school record is pretty much set in stone, so you can't do much about it. </p>

<p>Above all else, enjoy first year!</p>

<p>Do you recommend that we retake the SAT’s to get the 2200 minimum?</p>
