<p>I raise this question because I do badly on the SAT, low EC cuz I’m Asian just got to US last year, GPA is good but not many AP.
I think if I cannot go to one of top 30 business schools I may attend to an average school and try to transfer to higher-ranked school. But I don’t know how many percentage for me ??</p>
<p>the thing is, think about it logically. at top schools, not many students drop out year to year. how many transfers do you think they will let in. answer=some, but not as much as freshmen.</p>
<p>for you though, since you just arrived in the US, have a shot if you do well in CC.</p>
<p>If you live in CA, a good option is to go to a CC, and then transfer to a UC. The transfer rate is surprisingly high. It’s actually easier to transfer from a CC than from another UC or CSU.</p>
<p>The problem is that for most of the top schools, it is more difficult to get in as a transfer than as a freshman. However, this is not to say it doesn’t happen. </p>
<p>I’m going to move this thread to the Transfer Student Forum as you will get better help there. Also, do a Search on that forum as this topic has been asked many times.</p>
<p>Asking for the amount of people that get accepted from CCs to top schools is somewhat pointless when evaluating your own chances. Either you have what they want or you don’t (and even when you do sometimes they just don’t have enough spots that year). Unfortunately many top schools take very few transfer students and it tends to be more competitive than freshmen admissions. However, there are surprisingly a number of competitive universities (Northwestern and Rice come to mind) that take a pretty generous amount of transfer students for institutions of that caliber. I’m not sure how they rank in terms of business schools, though.</p>
<p>The only advice I can really give is work your butt off in college (wherever you end up), get involved in school activities, and work on mastering English. For the top schools, even with a perfect GPA, you’re going to have to come out with your guns blazing when it comes to the essay. They’re going to want a strong writer. Full stop.</p>
