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!

No one gets into NYU easily, for the most part.  You need to have the grades first and foremost.  Visit their site, get their admission info.  Speak with your guidance counselor at school.

All you can do is apply...\n\nMy suggestion would be to go to your local community college and then transfer.  If you have great grades there, you can get into pretty much any college.

I daresay you will not get many responses in this forum.  My best advice to you is to check out the website below, search for Columbia, and check out their discussion boards.  There, prospective students, current students, and alumnae/i post questions and answers, and sometimes even chat in "real time."\n\nI did one of my Master's degrees at Columbia, and so did my brother (religion for me, poli sci for him).  It's the nicest campus in NYC.

You should have no problems getting into St Joseph's or Clark University.\n\nYour SAT scores won't keep you out of the other two, but your GPA is a bit lower than the average.  I'd say you have a good shot at Northeastern.  Villanova is a bit of a stretch, but you still have a shot there as well.\n\nIf you get into all of them, Villanova dominates the others.

You should research the schools to find out what your chances are. Most school websites give information about their acceptance rates, diversity break down and what areas their students come from. You can see which of the categories you fit into.\n\nBut if you know you meet all their requirements, you should know that you have a chance of getting in. It's also good if you show a record of balancing extracirricular activities with school. Community service is also a plus, but they'll be able to tell if you do it at the last minute just to get into their school.\n\nGood luck!

I currently attend Columbia University.  Most of my friends here all had extremely strong SAT scores and GPAs.  Nearly everyone at Columbia has at least those two things in common.  You need to have those two things as a minimum and then you need to make yourself stand out.  Pursue some things that you absolutely love and shine.  In your free time, do what you really want to do, what you are good out, and what you can make a difference in.  Doing that in addition to what everyone else does will make you different and unique.  Columbia and all of the other Ivys don't want classrooms full of identicial students.  They want diversity, a wide range of student talents, and most importantly motivation.  Oh yeah, and put a lot of effort into the application!\n\nGood Luck!  Hope to see you at Columbia!

With a 4.03, 750/800/720 SAT, and two AP classes, you certainly have the scores to get in.  But Yale (and every other Ivy League college) is looking for something that sets YOU apart from everyone else that has such lofty scores.\n\nI got into Yale, my SAT scores and GPA were approximately the same as yours, I was 2/267.  That is NOT what got me in.  Everybody (almost) that applies to Yale, Harvard, etc. has these scores.  What makes you unique?  What will you bring to the class that others will not?  I think your extracurricular activities are excellent.  Editor of the school paper is a very nice feather in your cap; emphasize that.  Piano playing shows your breadth of interests.  If Math is your strong point, and you are an editor and a pianist, you are exactly the well-rounded individual they are looking for.  \n\nFurther, you show a human side by your community service.  In your essay, tell Yale what YOU will bring to the Yale community, and I think you will be very happy with the results.  Do not forget to interview not only with the admissions staff, but with any professors (if you can arrange it) in departments you are interested in as a major.  \n\nApplying to Harvard makes NO difference in whether you get into Yale or not.  You could not apply to Harvard and do Single Choice/Early Action anyway, so it is irrelevant.\n\nGo to their website, www.yale.edu, and look into their programs to see what interests you.\n\nIf you do not make the EA cut, and go through regular admissions and make the wait list instead of outright admission, visit the admissions people again (IN PERSON).  Show them that you are interested in attending; put a face to the mound of papers that they have to deal with every day.  That visit alone may get you in.  \n\nAll that said, after I was accepted at the colleges I was given admission to, I went back and visited them AGAIN.  I sat in on classes.  I wanted to make sure that the next four years would be at the university that was actually best for me, not the one I had pined for since I was 12 (which was Harvard, btw).  I picked Princeton over Harvard (and Yale), and the decision was one of the best that I ever made.  I'm not saying you should pick some other college over Yale; if you really have your heart set on Yale, and you get in, then by all means, you should go there.  But make SURE it is the college for you.  If Yale is your dream school, and you are sure of that, GO THERE.  You will never regret it.  \n\nGood luck, you certainly have the qualifications to go anywhere you want!

get really good grades and get into a really good engineering school.  see what colleges have interns or alumni at NASA to help you get a foot in the door.  NASA is an extremely hard company to get into. good luck

Well, I am in the  same situation as you. I graduated from a CUNY school a couple years back with a horrible GPA. I need a decent GPA to get into a good graduate school. The options seem to be \n\nStudy really hard for the gmat/gre  and pass with a really good score with the help of something like Kaplan. And try and get some good recommendations and get help writing a great admissions essay.\n\n\nStart somewhat from scratch and get another degree.\n\nIt seems though that you have already decided to get another Bachelor's degree. What you will do is to file for readmission as a second degree student  at the school you graduated from and you will continue as if you never left the school.However, you if there were changes in the liberal arts requirements since you graduated, you will have to take those, unless there is some sort of grandfather clause, excusing you from this. As far as the pre-req you alrady have credit for them. With the exception of maybe science and  computer courses they MAY  have a time limit on how long those credits are valid for. Check with the registrar and admissions about the time limit  for those classes. If you plan on doing so for the fall I would advise you to do so quickly, registration for the fall is taking place. I don't know what school you are applying to but, the response is pretty quick for the readmission if you are in good standing with the school  i.e not owing money . You can also check to see if the form is available on the schools website (registrar's  section)  and the fee is pretty low. Hope I was helpful and good luck !

I recently applied so perhaps I know.  You should  have at least a 1200 SAT, a 1300 would be a lot better though.  You should probably have at least a 4.0 weighted GPA, lots of extracurrics and very competitive classes.  It is the second highest ranked public school in the nation so it is harder to get into.  For out-of-state acceptance, one needs like a 1400 or better SAT.  The scores do not include the writing section.  Also, two subject SAT tests are required.

I'd check the schools' websites or contact the admissions office. Generally, though, take the tests right after you take a class (like the math tests after or during your highest level math class) and take tests that accentuate what you're already good and and what you're interested in. For example, I took writing (before it was part of the new SAT), Spanish language, and Math (both the easy and hard ones) because I wanted to major in either writing or Spanish at the time and was pretty good at math, too. Good luck!

the first step is to actually apply. i know someone from pakistan who is studying at george mason university in the u.s...he applied took the appropriate tests and came over here..you should expect to have to pay for your plane ticket. there are families over here that would sponsor you and love to have you stay with them, look into "host families" in the u .s. also once you are accepted there are differents grants or scholarships you might be able to pursue, or maybe its possible you could get a grad assistanship. i would first start by contacting colleges and see what they are willing to do. it never hurts to ask.

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.

GWU is a selective school. contact either their admissions or institutional research dept.

Do a google on "general education degree" for you state.  It will provide you information on testing areas and times, as well as let you register for them, otherwise.. don't study.. don't care.. and don't worry.. it's a freaking easy test, just be ready to write an essay.
