<p>I don't think having GED will hurt you.</p>
<p>Make sure you take the coursework that will allow you to transfer to a 4-year college. Work with your advisor on this. </p>
<p>Get a high gpa.</p>
<p>Be active in one or two ECs--including with leadership. Top colleges care about ECs, not just high grades.</p>
<p>Check the transfer info on the web sites of colleges that interest you.</p>
<p>Look at the transfer forum here on CC.</p>
<p>Northstarmom has said it all. I don't know how many CC options you may have, but some have a direct conduit deal with solid universities. You may want to check that out also. I am guessing you are in the northeast from where you want to go, so you may have many CC options.</p>
<p>This will vary from school to school. Many schools take very few transfer students. </p>
<p>If you are trying to plan ahead now by looking at things online, pick a college you like a lot, one that you consider to be a good place for you. (Make sure it is one that takes a reasonable number of transfer students). Then, look into what that college expects you to have to do to transfer. This varies a lot from college to college.</p>
<p>Another thing you could do would be to talk to someone at the community college you will be taking classes at; they can help you figure out what classes will help you the most for getting into the type of college you are aiming for.</p>
<p>I don't think your GED will hurt you at all. As others have said, get involved in an EC or two at community college or in your community (take a leadership role) and get to know a few instructors well so they can write letters of reference for you. Good luck!</p>
<p>My goal is to become a lawyer.I hope to get into Georgetown law i have some connections there but i need the grades so i need a good 4 year degree to get that and i don't know what college to go too that will accept a transfer i like
i want to transfer after two years of community college to one of these schools will they accept me if i have a good gpa...what would be consider a good gpa?
Vermont
NYU
Syracuse
UMass
Fordham
Pace
UChicago
Northwestern
Georgetown University</p>
<p>if you have the time to do 2 years at a community college, why dont you have the time to just fniish hs?</p>
<p>BTW theres community colleges in nyc that have transfer agreements with nyu.</p>
<p>in general your gpa should be 3.5 or higher to be competitive.</p>
<p>Im start community college in September i had to drop out this year because i ruptured my spleen and if u know anything is life threating i had to miss 6 months of school and i can play ball anymore so im gonna go this path. What colleges in NYC commuunity colleges have transfer agreements?</p>
<p>Fitz-- Here's a bit of advice. In any communications you send to colleges or to professors at community college, and in any assignments you hand in at community college, do a better job of proofreading than you have done with the messages you have posted here. Colleges and professors will not take you seriously if you send them misspelled, poorly punctuated correspondence and assignments.</p>
<p>I know...........i dont really care how i spell when im writing online like this</p>
<p>I'm sure colleges will be understanding of a medical issue. If it does cause problems, look for colleges that don't require HS transcripts after receiving an AA. If you want a success story, I finished 333 out of 334 on my class rank, barely made it out of hs after being put in co-op. I had a wake up call my senior year of highschool when my best friend was murdered, got my ***** together, got my AA with a 3.9 w/ honors from a CC. I wrote a good essay, had great work experience and got into some of the top schools in the country, and some even gave me nice sized scholarships. Moral of the story= community college is a blessing and a second start. dont sweat it, and i hope all is well with your medical issue</p>
<p>thanks yea im better now but i dont wanna repeat my sophmore year in high school.Im too smart and its too boring.So im gonna get my ged and go on start college but i want to be able to go to a top 20 school after two years</p>
<p>Graduates from my local community college have finished up their degrees at Ivys, so I know it can be done. The best advice that I can give you is that you work hard, earn good grades, and haunt the transfer office of your community college so that they know what you want to do with your life and can help you get there.</p>
<p>Wishing you good health, and a good start this fall!</p>
<p>"I know...........i dont really care how i spell when im writing online like this:</p>
<p>On on-line social boards, probably spelling and punctuation don't matter that much. However, on CC, people tend to take posters more seriously when the posters take the time to proofread spell and punctuate well. Those who don't take that kind of time tend not to attract the most informed posters or the most useful info.</p>
<p>I'm sorry i don't have a time to proofread i was kind of busy</p>
