I'm attending community college but I wan't to get my undergraduate from an Ivy League college. What to do?!

Question

I asked earlier "what is the best way to get into a top business school" and my answer was, basically, get into a better school w/ good grades and get a lot of community service/internships.

SO, how can I get my BS, or undergrad, from an Ivy League school starting from a community college in order to increase my chances of getting into a top notch MBA program????

I'm still a freshman that barely completed his first semester and summer w/o any internship/volunteer experience! But I have a 4.0 and I'm Hispanic.....

Answer 1

Transferring into Ivies is extremely hard, even more so if you're at a community college.
Just boost your resume by doing more internships, activities but imo, it's not happening.
It'd be more realistic to aim for a less selective set of schools for undergrad and then shoot for a top MBA program.
But even so, apply. You never know what may happen.

Answer 2

Well, it's actually close to impossible to get into an Ivy to begin with. The opening for transfer students are even less...

Hate to break it to you too... 4.0 and Hispanic means nothing to Ivies... EVERYONE was Valedictorian of their High School class.... Obviously more than enough of their "quota" of minority applies....

Realistically, it's hard to transfer to any top 10 schools. You'd be better off aiming slightly lower. Though, you're always welcome to apply to give yourself the possibility...

However, getting into a top notch MBA program is an entirely different ball game. While a Harvard graduate may get an extra plus mark on their application, it is not the entire game. You have to balance with it job experience, and what companies you worked for, etc. Also, there is the GMAT score.

While undoubtly some admission officer may post something to the contrary, this is how I figure the game is played. They need to assemble a class of students. These students need to jive somehow. That means they are aiming for a certain number of marketing people, a certain number of finance, a certain number of etc. In the end, the value of the program lies in the ranking and their job placement ability. So, to get into a good MBA program, give them what they need to report good stats for the ranking (i.e. GMAT, gpa), and give them what they need to believe you'd be able to get hired right away at a high paying job (i.e. good resume).

If you score a perfect GMAT score, has a perfect undergraduate GPA, good resume, you don't need to have studied at an Ivy. However, you would still want to find a respectable undergraduate college (to give credibility to your gpa).

Answer 3

nicely, in case you have the standards for entering into an Ivy and you're popular, then I say flow there. whether you don;t get into one you may desire to nevertheless prepare at ordinary colleges, like Xavier or OSU or in spite of your state has. community colleges truly are not comparable to different colleges, or perhaps although its unfastened (it is astounding!), your credit will maximum no longer likely flow to a distinctive college. Your dad might desire to constantly prepare for a job at antoher college. My dad, who works with legal specialists and faculty loans at a organization in the area, plans to do consulting for the college i desire to attend simply by fact its high priced and that way my instructions may be unfastened.
