How to better my chances of transferring to a high level college.

<p>So I dropped the ball in high school, and did horrible. My GPA sucked(1.9), ACT was average. Im going to CC next year, but I know I can do very well in school. This year (my senior year, the only year I actually tried) I got a 3.9 gpa (just for the year, not all four years). The classes I plan on taking first year are; Intro to business, Principles of marketing, Entrepreneurship, Philosophy of religion, and Pre-Calculus(15 credit hours). I want to get into an ivy leaguue or other top tier school and play football for them, so I am also joining a football/powerlfitng gym to prepare. I am going to join Men of vision club and Phi Theta Kappa. I am hoping to maintain a GPA as close to 4.0 as I can. My question remains what else can I do in CC to make myself more competitive? </p>

<p>Rather than taking business courses, take academic gen ed types of courses, see these for some examples:</p>

<p>It’s very hard to get into an Ivy from CC. You need more than just the grades, much like a freshman you need a killer personal statement / history. I’d recommend you look into transferring into your top flagship public university or into easier privates (NYU?) </p>
