Overzealous?

Transfer Students
1

<p>I am a California Community College kid seeking to transfer to a private out of state school and I’m trying to see if anybody has heard good things about the transfer acceptance rates of these fine schools:</p>

<p>(In no particular order)
Duke
Swarthmore
Vassar
Georgetown
Brown
UPenn</p>

<p>Thanks a bunch</p>

<p>dude—Duke last year took .05 percent, i don’t think you or anyone has a prayer unless you have to be an athlete (i.e. lacross player)</p>

<p>swarthmore/vassar take very few</p>

<p>u got a shot at Gtown</p>

<p>Brown/Penn def toss-ups, if u don’t have a 4.0, ur chances are slim, and u better have a great h.s. record, one semester of 4.0 at a CC isn’t enough to show that u can handle the work at these places</p>

<p>duke accepted .05 percent???..that’s 1 in every 200 students. Do you mean 5% or is it really that low?</p>

4

<p>y don’t u just go to a UC?</p>

5

<p>I apologize .05% would be 1 in every 2000 students</p>

6

<p>duke is very very low. 8 out of like 1000</p>

<p>i like the sarcasm about the lacrosse player reference in the Duke statement, but I know I won’t be applying to Duke mainly because when I requested for information on the school, they still haven’t sent it and I asked for this last november… Seems they deter transfer students from applying…</p>

<p>I figured as much as Swarthmore and Vassar</p>

<p>How much of a good shot does a person have in getting into Georgetown?</p>

<p>Brown and Penn will be the reach schools…much like Vassar, Georgetown, and Swarthmore…</p>

<p>Thanks for your advice</p>

<p>don’t get me wrong… I will be applying to the UC’s as well… UCLA seems to be my community college’s UC favorite and about 85% of our transfers get admitted into UCLA… UC Berkeley doesn’t have a good connection with southern california community colleges so I think that’s my reach UC, and UCSD… oh and USC because they have an awesome communications, international relations program to die for… </p>

<p>but i am choosing to expand my horizons instead of succumbing to the stereotype that from a california community college, you should transfer to a state school or stay in california…not how i roll man :)</p>
