Yes it is possible if…

1. You are intelligent but you were an underachiever in highschool

2. You were already competitive out of highschool but life circumstances said no to a 4 yr college

3. You are a nontraditional student (above the age of 22? or 23?) with a gap in your academic record in which you went to the military or did something amazing.

THAT SEEMS TO BE THE TREND, unless you’re like from Deep Springs College in which you are pretty much guaranteed admission to an Ivy. But be realistic, you should have a good idea of how strong your academic chops are by now. Ivy league schools are tough as ****, unless you’re doing like hotel administration at Cornell. In any case, you need a strong (4.0) academic record, which isn’t too hard at a community college. But you also need a way to set yourself apart, which is. And also, don’t lie on your application. Actually try to set yourself apart. 'cause Ivies check their stuff, and blacklist people for grad school.
