Is it still possible to go to an Ivy League...if you start out at a community college?
I heard that the Ivy Leagues usually don't take transfers as much as freshman?
BTW, GPA is between 3.7 to 3.8, and still have other classes to take, so I still can make my GPA higher score.
SATs...well, my previous & current education (including a tech school, classes at 2-year private college, and now a community college) never required them. So I ended up building all my college credits without any SATs. Plus some universities have told me that I won't need SATs because of all my college credits and being out of high school for over 10 years.
So, considering where I'm tranferring from, my GPA, and my SATs situation, can I still get into an Ivy League?
(Not that I have to...just want to know if it's possible.)

I think it is possible but it will be hard. You may want to finish your bachelor's degree and then try to get into an Ivy League school for your graduate work. Also, try doing extra activities. Schools don't just look at your GPA but also how well rounded your are. With a little determination anything can happen.

I definitely have a GED and went to community college and than graduated from the college of Florida..i be responsive to a ton of folk who've by no ability graduated from HS yet have long gone directly to a 4 year degree and in one case regulation college..i think of that with you dealing with a war and each and all the strife on your existence you would be a shoe in to get into an Ivy league..admissions departments love a tragic tale with a happy ending.

YES! It can be done, and has been done.
If you are the first generation in your family to attend college, and if you are a member of an underrepresented minority group, here's the key to achieving your goals:
http://eter.vassar.edu/
It's called "Exploring Transfer," and it is THE best way for community college students to successfully achieve and prepare for transfer to top-tier universities and liberal arts colleges.
There are also other transfer-oriented programs run by elite colleges and universities. Contact your university of interest to see if they have one.
Best wishes to you!
