What kinds of 4-year universities can you transfer to from a community college?

Lots of people will try to stop you from even trying, it's important that you do notlisten to them. Statistically it's really, really, really, hard to get into an ivy league from a Community College. But it is NOT IMPOSSIBLE.
There are ways you can increase your chances at achieving this goal. 

1) Getting good grades... (duh)
A strong transcript is so important coming from a Community College. Don't listen to the people saying "WELL MY FRIEND GOT INTO STANFORD WITH A 3.1 GPA IN CC!!!" because they're most likely not telling the complete truth or are an outlier. Getting a good GPA should be your first priority. 

2) Get involved in your community!!
...I don't mean working at your local coffee shop or grocery store. Take an initiative to find a problem in your community, and try to solve it. This can come in the form of starting a charity, participating in town hall meetings, or even simply volunteering. Try and make your community a better place. :)

3) Find work in your field of interest.
Incessantly look for internship opportunities, jobs, or even conferences with people who are currently working in your field of interest. Find people with your dream-job on LinkedIn and send them a personal Email regarding your interest in the field. Offer your services for free, because you're not focused on finding an income but rather are looking for distinguishing experiences. 

4) Contact Admissions Early.
Reach out to the ivy league's Admissions and let them know you're interested in applying. Ask them for advice! You'd be surprised how accommodating the admissions board are at big universities. Tell them your story, and ask how you can maximize your chances of being accepted.

5) Write an Amazing Application.
I cannot stress the importance of having an amazing application essay. GET HELP ON YOUR ESSAY. Share your story, and make the essay personal. Stress what makes you a unique individual and directly show how you (personally) can positively impact their campus. 

Worst Case Scenario: The ivy league rejects you... You attend another awesome University with an exceptional work ethic, the ability to participate in a professional atmosphere, and the power of making your community a better place. 

You got this.
