Transferring to a 4 Year University as a 16 year old. What are my Chances?

Transfer Students

<p>A bit of background: I'm currently a college student at a community college in California and I want to transfer to be a junior at a 4 year university. If you're wondering how I am a college student at age 16, I took the CHSPE exam and got out of highschool after the first semester of my sophomore year. The reason I came out of high school was because I got a B in my AP chemistry class. My freshman year, I had a 4.5 gpa with a 5 on an ap human geography exam. I also got a 3 in my ap biology exam even though I didn't take the class. I didn't study during my freshman year not even for my AP exams. I got pretty cocky and I went into harder classes with the same mentality. As a result I got a B in my ap chem class and my mom got super pissed :(( . She wanted to get the grade off my transcript so she told me I had to come out of school before finishing my semester. So that is how I got to where I am right now. </p>

<p>In my community college so far, I have a 4.0 gpa in 28 units transferable units and I will be completing 22 more units this semester. Most likely I will get all A's or at least thats what it looks like so far. My older brother has already done the same kind of thing I am doing (when he was my age) and he got into USC. His grades were like a 3.6 but he got a 2300 on the sat. I will not be taking the sat because I just don't have time to study for it but my grades are a lot better than what my brother got. I don't have much extra circulars but I do have 200+ hours of community service. </p>

<p>My question is what is my chance of getting into USC, UCLA, UCB and Cornell? This might sound silly but I'm really wondering if being Korean really makes it harder for me to get into these schools. I would apply to a lot more private schools but these are the only ones that don't require your sat. Even though they don't require it, will not having the SAT kind of go against me? Also will my young age impact my chances at all?</p>

<p>Let me get this straight—your mom made you leave your high school because you got a B?
You need to get off of the internet and drive your mother to a very good therapist, my friend.</p>

<p>The UC’s are required to not care about race.</p>

<p>In any case, my concern isn’t with your chances of getting in somewhere; if you don’t, you can always take a gap year and try again next year. . . or the year after that. You’d still be several years ahead of other folks.</p>

<p>My concern is what you will do after you graduate from college at 18/19. What do you plan to do? Some companies may look for a certain amount of maturity when hiring.</p>

<p>I agree with the posters above.
Since you are in California, it’s too bad your parents didn’t look into The Early Entrance Program at CSULA. This program allows students between the ages of 11-16 to skip middle school and high school and start college early. One great thing about this program is these kids are with peers their own age as well as taking courses with other University students. I think there a couple other programs like this in the US. </p>
