<p>So basically I did really average/poor in high school, but thats only because of my (insert personal reason, which fully explains, why it is not my fault). So now, even before I have began my freshmen orientation at the college I will be attending, I have decided that (insert random ivy here) is my dream school. What do you think my chances are/ what I could be doing to improve my chances?</p>
<p>I think I summed up 99% of threads, correct?</p>
<p>Ummm…you just summed up what my story was…haha.</p>
<p>No i posted before I saw yours, and in reality, its what everyones is</p>
<p>^ hahhaa i knew that!
but i post tons of threads on CC and then i realized how awful i messed up in HS (this year and half of the last) :[[[ so going to a CC/low tier in state school might be my second chance…so i can get into where i’d like :)</p>
<p>Why do i feel like transferring is going to turn into something popular now…? lol.</p>
<p>All too often on this forum I feel like a lot of users:
<p>@BoyWonder:
Thanks for this thread. I think you hit onto a lot of truth with the first post.</p>
<p>Posting a “what are my chances thread” is actually quite redundant, in a sense. Although I am sure their are a few ppl who actually want a correct estimation of what their actual chance of being accepted to a school is, a majority of us ( I myself may be guilty of this) just want our confidence built up. Rarely do we see a fellow poster not sugar coat their response, and when they do, the original poster, the chancee feels as if their realistic opinion is an affront upon their very being.</p>
