how high does your GEPA score have to be in order to go to Columbia University or any good colleges?

Your GEPA score has nothing directly to do with college admissions. However it probably will be considered in placing you in high school classes, and this will in turn influence what colleges you can get into.

It's probably not a set score (they're usually somewhat flexible if you excel in other areas) but since it is Ivy League, I would say it has to be pretty high for you to have a good shot. My old friends that went to Ivy League schools got a 1380 and a 1400, for instance.

Just take a look at Wharton's acceptance rates.  I believe it is in the 10 to 15% range.  Although low, it is still higher than schools like Harvard and Princeton.  Instead of asking if it's hard to get into, ask yourself if it's the place you want to be.  However, if you do come to Penn, you won't regret it.

hi, to be in the community college, you need to have at least a GED, or the high school transcript. the placement exam merely test your ability level. and community college usually have very high acceptance rate such as ~95% or up. my understanding, laguardia community college is the cheapest in NYC. umm yeah, the enrollemtn date is still open, for laguardia, the first day of scholl is june 29. and other secholl may vary slightly

In my opinion, the best way to get into a big name school/ivy is to convince the admissions staff that your interests/professional needs fit perfectly with their programs. They want to see kids that know what they want to do and will utilize their resources immediately (and then become super sucessful and make big time money). You need to convince Yale that their grad program is the only one for you. Research Yale's classes, professors, programs, etc. In addition to getting great grades adn doing all the things you listed, focus your undergrad studies and extracurriculars on a field that will set you up perfectly for a program that you are interested in and that is uniquely Yale.  \n\nThis process worked for both me and a close friend of mine. I will be attending Cornell next semester. My friend is enrolled at Columbia as a grad student.\n\nGood luck.

That's a pretty good score. - Congratulations! But it depends on what school you want to get into. Probably some Ivy leagues won't think that's good enough.

Well, I don't know the policies and practices of the particular colleges to which you are applying. What colleges look for, though, is evidence that you can succeed in college. Having good SAT scores (which you do) suggests that you have ability to succeed in college. That you are involved in some honors classes, that you are involved in some activities outside the classroom that indicate responsibility, is great. \n\nNow, what we are worried about when we see a student with good SAT scores and low GPA is that they are smart but lazy or otherwise unmotivated. So, to get in the door of college you need to explain in a cogent way why your grades are so poor, and explain it in a way that shows colleges that whatever is the issue now won't affect you in college (or you've come up with a way to resolve the issue). The really tough part is to make sure that your application is read, as some schools use grades and SAT scores to make the first cut in considering applications. There are some schools that read all applications, no matter what the credentials are. So, look for these schools to apply to.\n\nFinally, you can always go to a community college for a year or two and transfer. Get very good grades, get to know faculty who can write you great recommendations, and you can go to a great school.\n\nOh, and yes, get very good grades the rest of your high school career.....

Is it possible to be accepted to an ivy league school with a 3.88?  It is possible, but the probability of you being accepted might not be very high.  Students that are #1 in their high school class have been denied from Ivy League schools... keep this in mind.  Students with 4.0 GPAs have been denied.  \n\nWhen college admissions representatives make decisions on admittance to a university, they look at everything.  We not only look at GPA, but look at test scores, activities, personal statements, and recommendations.  Most schools look at the entire individual.  \n\nI do not want to discourage you from applying to an Ivy League School, but keep your options open and apply to non-ivy league schools as well.  Many of the ivy league school's acceptance rates are around 9%, which means that 9% of those that apply get in and the rest are denied.  Apply if it is your dream, but be realistic and apply to other schools as well.

Georgetown, according to its website, accepts the maximum of 60 credits with at least a C grade when a student is transfering. Unfortunately, I could not get the specifics regarding SAT and transfer students. However, the best source is talking to the transfer advisor at the college where you graduated from to learn what else is needed. Another idea to get a perspective on it is go to an information night in your area. Good luck!

The total score possible is 2400 (Math 800 + Critical Reading 800 + Writing 800).  Right now, I dont know if there is a consensus about what is considered a "good" score on the test yet, due to the change in range from 1600 to 2400.  My estimation is that anything above 2000 is a superb score (based on what was considered excellent in the old test, i.e. anything above 1400).  You scored about 75% correct answers (1810/2400=75%), which I imagine would put you above average but not quite tops.  \n\nWhether or not your score will be good enough for UGA depends on your competition as well as the rest of your application (i.e. GPA, class rank, recommendations, awards, extracurriculars). I would call/email UGA or whatever other school you intend to apply; they should give you a good idea about what their averages MAY be. Obviously, until a full admission cycle has passed for the new SAT (which may have happened, I just dont know.), schools wont have a clear idea on what is "good" and what is "mediocre" and what is "you are in the discard pile."

Like all the good colleges, a high GPA, high SAT, well-written essay, sufficient extra-curricular activities/competitions, honest and positive recommendation letters etc. are recommended. None of the good colleges have a firm limit "If you don't have a 3.0 you won't get in" or "If you have a 4.0 you're guaranteed." They look at everything and see if there's a pattern of a good student behind it. If they can figure out who you are through the application and determine that you as a person are worthwhile then you'll probably get in.\n\nSo for example, BS'ing your essay is going to hurt more than missing a 4.0 because of just one B. Joining no extracurriculars is going to hurt you more than getting a slightly low score on your first SAT. And a lot of times its your fit with your college, how much room they have, and if they already have or badly need someone like you.\n\nTuition is nominally almost $50k a year, but like all the good colleges, admissions is entirely merit-based and financial-need-blind, and financial aid is entirely need-based and merit-blind. So if you're not able to pay all $50k a year (like most people), you won't, and it won't hurt your chances.

In addition to Cornell's website, check out http://www.princetonreview.com/. Also check out the new US News and World Report magazine. \n\nIt's possible to get in, but it is competitive. Depends on your major, too. \n\nThink high 600's on each SAT section, a GPA in the top 10% of your class. \n\nIf you need financial aid, get your stuff together early, fyi. Also visit first. This place is cold. You can contact Cornell and get hooked up with a alumnus good for a chat.

many community colleges will accept an ACT score of 17, but i'm attending a private liberal arts school in nebraska and their lowest is 18. possibly just try taking the ACT one more time will up our score the extra point/points you need to make your college choices more numerous.

If you want to be admitted in one of undergraduate schools in u.s from high school, you need at least 80% + high TOEFL (and/or SAT/CAT) test score.  If your test score is high, your requirement for G.P.A gets lower. However, schools always set thier basic criteria.\n\nyou will need about 3.5 G.P.A and 550 in the old TOEFL test for being admitted to a good college.

Well, most requirements are standard, they typically vary in GPA and SAT or ACT scores\nhttp://students.berkeley.edu/admissions/freshmen.asp
