<p>I am currently a student in Pierce Community College in LA and I am in desperate need of guidance and advice on transferring to Ivy League or UC Berkeley.
Details about me:
Current G.P.A: 4.0 (a lot more classes to go though)
SAT Score: 1750 (I know its horrible- did it in like two months and didnt know it was of this importance)
Intended Major: Chemical Engineering
Age: 17, turning 18</p>
<p>Extra Curricular:
Student Body Govt. Club Council President
English Tutor in College
Hoping to volunteer in Chem Dept
Was member of AGS Honor Society
Part time Dean's List (Took only 11 units last semester except 12)</p>
<p>My main goal has been to transfer to Berkeley as I thought Ivy Leagues are way beyond my scope but since lately some of my family has been highly encouraging me to try/ atleast research on getting into an Ivy League. It would be a dream come true but since its only my family's biased opinion, I would love to hear more logical and realistic answers for my chances to get in.
Please let me know about each Ivy League's school & UC Berkeley and my chances to get admitted.</p>
<p>FYI–I know of at least a couple of students at Yale who made transfer, via the cc route–and I have acclimated quite nicely. A couple of other Qs, URM? Compelling reason why you did not go to a 4-year school initially? I would determine if they prefer an AA degree prior to transfer or a minimum amount of Qs?</p>
<p>Use your CC transfer advisor and all the information about UC and UCB transfer online. UCB transfer is for Jr year. Ivy only takes outstanding applicants who not only have stellar grades but leaderships and community impact… Harvard takes 0 to 12 per year, Cornell takes the most. You can easily look up the transfer rate and amount of students they take. You often have a better chance if you are in that state CC. </p>
<p>@BrownParent They talk a lot about UCLA and Cal States but rarely know anything about Ivy Leagues. And what do you think about Standard since Stanfards in California?
And what do you mean by leadership and community impact?</p>
<p>Oh that’s nice to hear. What do you mean by URM? @boolaHI I couldn’t go to a 4 year institute because I was studying in a different country before I got my residency here. Hence my highschool ed was different although I did study the British Syllabus.
Would you think taking the SATs again would help?</p>
