Transfer to Columbia GS from LaGuardia CC

Transfer Students

<p>Hi, I wanted to know how my changes looked for transferring into Columbia GS from LaGuardia Community College
I didn’t have the most impressive high school, but I did graduate with an IB diploma.
I will be finishing Laguardia as an honors student with a 4.0 while also maintaining a full time job for two 2.5 years. I will have my A.S in Accounting and would like to pursue financial economics at Columbia.
I am a first generation college student, self sufficient and took 2 years break from high school because of personal reasons and because I had to move to NY. I help support my parents etc so my credentials are quite good. I also taught myself how to be a bookkeeper. </p>

<p>What do you think of my chances for admission as a transfer student. I really would love to go to this university. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Based on what you’ve shared, you’ve got a shot. Let me know if you’d like help strategizing or working through your app. </p>

<p>[I was accepted to a couple of ivies in 2009 as a transfer but I ultimately chose GS and haven’t regretted it one bit.]</p>
