I'm currently finishing off my second year at a community college and will be receiving my AA some time next semester. Columbia University seems to be the perfect school for a transfer student such as myself and I've completely fallen in love with the college's history. Now, in college, I have a 4.0 GPA, I've done a couple of internships and have always been extremely active when it comes to extracurricular activities. Even though my college resume is outstanding, I can't say my high school GPA/SAT scores reflect in the same direction. If I have my A.A, is it required for me to send in my SAT/High School GPA to Columbia? Taking into consideration my less than average grades in HS, are my chances of making it bleak?

"Due to the timing of the transfer process, we are generally unable to consider grades earned in the second semester of the year of application; thus, high school grades, rigor of program and standardized test scores are all important in the evaluation of transfer credentials, especially for students applying for sophomore standing."

Sounds like high school grades should be sent... but take a look at the website for yourself.
