Ivy League Transfer

Do you have any standardized testing scores to leverage your GPA? If those aren’t that high, I’m not sure that your performance in CC would be enough to help you get into universities of the caliber you’ve stated. The bigger question I think is if you’ll have the motivation while at CC to get the high GPA you want given your performance in high school; even though you played a sport (which many others have done and still maintained a high GPA), I still think that you’re reaching too high if there were no other inhibiting circumstances. Try to not focus so much on brand and instead work on improving yourself to become a more appealing candidate for future jobs, regardless of what university you end up attending.

Edit: I just saw your standardized testing scores on another thread, unfortunately I don’t think you’ll be able to make the Ivy League/equivalents because they’re too low, even if you transfer. That being said, if you really want to better your chances at finding a career in investment banking, I’d say do the absolute best you can in whatever school you go to, even if it’s not a “prestigious school,” and let the chips fall where they may. Don’t get so hung up on brand as you can be successful at whatever university you attend, as long as you put in the work necessary and then some.
