Hello everyone, I’m going to be an incoming freshman going to a community college this September. I used to live in NYC and my plan was to attend some of the local city colleges in NYC, but I ended up moving to Rochester NY. My parents made this decision right on the spot, and my mother wouldn’t let me dorm. I had an 80 average in High School, took your basic high school courses and had a 540 on Math, and 630 on Verbal. I didn’t bother applying to RIT or The University of Rochester, I thought it would be a waste of time. Because I wouldn’t get in with my gpa and SAT score. So I applied at the local community college, I want to do someday transfer out and pursue dentistry. So I’m taking your basic classes, for example English 101, Calc, Philosophy and Biology. I was wondering if any of you guys had some advice for me, I want to transfer out to the university of rochester, cornell, and Syracuse universities. I know Cornell is a very competitive place and it’s close to impossible for me to get in. But, I want to give it a shot. My SAT and high school GPA aren’t that impressing. But I’m studying for the SAT and will take it again, is this a smart move? And will it help to get into the places I want. And do universities consider SAT’s taken by college students while attending college?.

I’m very confused by this dilemma of my mine. Can someone please offer some criticism and advice on what to do, Thank you.
