Do Ive league Universities accept students from community colleges.. ever? Like lets say I'm a A/B student in highschool (definitely not enough to get me in to onve of the big schools) and I go to community college or a junior college or whatever (what's the difference?) and I get all A's there.. can i transfer in to an Ivy league school?
Is there anything else I can do if I didn't get into my first choice now and have a year to spare and use for improving my chances into getting in?

Andreaaaa answered Saturday March 8 2008, 3:39 pm: It's really hard getting into one of those kind of schools. The only thing you can really do is try your hardest. But honestly, what's the point of getting into one of those schools? You can get the same education at a place where you can afford it somewhere else. The only reason people like going to THOSE kind of schools is be be able to say "I went to Harvard" Why go into debt just to be able to say that? Think about it.
