Hello, I've always wanted to join an Ivy League college the truth is I don't have the right grades a 3.00 GPA wouldn't work, so should I do a 2 year community college and then join, if that's so how could I do to join one? by the way I'm a non US citizen,and could you tell me which 2 year community college is the best?. thank you

You may not be able to transfer to the ultra-competitive ones such as Yale (it admits about 8 out of about 1000 transfer applicants) and Columbia, but you have a shot at Brown if you work really hard during your two years before transferring.
Try to do a lot of individual research while in college.
Work hard and best of luck to you.

This isn't going to happen.
The entering class at each of the Ivy colleges is only about 1200 -1500 kids. if you check the statistics online, they show that only about 2 - 3% of the Freshman fail to return the next year. So that means there are only about 20 - 30 empty spots for transfer students. Since there are thousands of kids with really good marks and credentials who want to transfer in, it is actually harder to get in as a transfer than it is to get in as a Freshman.
There are 4000 college campuses in the USA. Use the college search program at princetonreview.com to choose one that is a good match for your grades and financial condition.
ps. forget Brown. They admitted about 20 of 600 tranfer applicants for next fall and half of those were kids transferring from other Ivies. There is probably one or two kids getting in who are not already in an elite school

i could say that working stressful for a stable SAT and ACT score could be powerful. additionally, in basic terms be helpful you place your self in management positions in any employer you're in because of the fact it shows greater dedication and making plans/employer skills. different than that, take as many AP instructions as a threat and save those grades up!
