Thank you so much! I’m currently at community college and I want to transfer to a place like Cornell. I feel so inspired because of you.

[@CharleeNguyen]

If I'm able to do it, so are you!!! Keep it rolling and I'm always here to answer questions!

[@lo4223]

hey i know this was 2yrs ago, but were you able to?

[@idraw1019]

@@lo4223 Funny story, actually. I did not get into Cornell, but I got into NYU. However, the financial aid was super bad, so I decided to go to my state school instead, and I am really happy with my decision. It's not what I was expecting, but I'm happy nonetheless. It'll work out; you got this!

Great advices, it’s insightful and easy to understand 😊 Thank you so much!

[@nabi5864]

TY for the awesome video! To each their own in terms of college choices...I do have my own to add if I may...My father(We're Korean) attended USC for his bs then to Columbia for his MBA ... My Uncle attended MIT as chem Engineer major... By time I reached High School Age we had chance to sit down to discuss my "academic future"....This is what Dad and Uncle had to say on the whole thing, and not what you're expecting to hear😆.... "OVERRATED & Bull Sh#!" Yup those were their exact words ...Most Asian parents are duped and obsessed with top tiers and Ivy as my Grandparents were...My Uncle said unless you're that geeky weirdo who just loves academia and can't get enough of it and wealthy too then more power to them..Otherwise, he said I should focus on enjoying my time in High School while learning taking in as much as I can without being obsessed about getting that grade or doing all the cookie cutter top students do , accordingly he states that he wasted his time doing alll the "this will get me into MIT stuff, He emphasized grow and learn more of yourself as a teen , and sure put in the work for class , but as they say Don't miss the Forest for the Trees...... My Dad was no different, he said he was brainwashed into thinking obtaining the best numbers and doing all the tedious things that looks good on the application ...According to him even those that made it to Harvard and Stanford "mickey-Moused" non profit projects that only made them look good and as soon as they turned in their app it all stopped and left it all hanging high and dry ... Wealthy parents were spending tens of thousands on Mentors, Consultants, and private tutors from those colleges ... At the end of the day it turned into a shallow Beauty Pageant of who gets into what school for the mainly Asian students ... My Uncle hates his major and preferred that he just attended a simple Calstate in different major....My Dad thumbs his nose at his major , a complete waste of money...They gave me the best plan as soooo...... I didn't take the SAT/ACT or even apply after my 11th... I enjoyed my time taking it easy at my high school...I still managed to get high grades for the sake of learning ....Most my Korean and Chinese (LOL) classmates got accepted to numerous Ivy... BUT rejected to the school I ended up attending , which I will get to.... Soon after graduating I continued to be involved in my passion projects FOR ME... I attended my local City College for FREE and needed up transferring to UCLA(All my classmates except 1 got accepted to) to attend for FREE , I live in Los Angeles btw AND my Dad didn't claim me on his TAXES ....I got to travel and work and gained more life experience as well as coming of age... From my 17year old self I absolutely was clueless about life compared to being 21...I can tell you that I had the best time of my life right after high school in the real working world, and not being tossed into a class where an old Phd Professor shoves their say down your throat ... I have a greater appreciation for Academia as matter of fact ... Hell my professors comes from top IVY so I don't know what the fuss is all about to attend them... At end of day Im debt free and doing exactly what I figured what I wanted to do in my 20s...By time in my 30s Im sure it will continue to evolve .. Anyways TY and much success to all!

[@CharleeNguyen]

exactly, you don't need college to succeed in life!

[@IlikeScriabinandBach]

Thank you, this vid was very insightful! I like community college because I feel free to pursue my ideas in music and to study mathematics. It is more natural then Highschool because you are treated like slightly more mature person. Anyways wish me luck on ucla. I wish the best for all of your transfer goals!

[@thetimemaster1475]

If I had a lower GPA in high school, around 2.7, but the first two years of community college I got a 3.8 or higher, what is my chance of transferring to an Ivy League school: Princeton, Yale, Harvard… or even a good school that is not Ivy League, like Notre Dame? My dream school is Yale.

[@CharleeNguyen]

You have a pretty good chance, but if you can hit a 4.0 while having diverse community service activities or club activites/leadership roles, you have an even higher chance

I loved this video I graduated hs with a 2.7 GPA not really being too serious about school. Now that I'm older and more aware of things Im going to college I attend a community school and I want to transfer to UGA what are some tips you would advise.

[@CharleeNguyen]

keep grades as high as possible and double down on extracurriculars that correlate with your major

[@garrycommander9351]

First thing first thank for the video, and for me, I want really rough path, I don't want give up of my boyfriend he is really important for me, anyway and then I probably gonna work my ass a lot after go to us to go to a community college and after go to my dream college, is such mess I kinda had apply to regular application, but something happen I can't afford the english test, and I probably don't gonna have money until the deadline, also because I am really poor I don't know if they gonna accept me f1 visa most of people have money to prove they can stay far way from they campus.

[@CharleeNguyen]

Community college is the best way to go for you my friend!

[@chefboyardee6347]

I dont know if i have the potential to get into Yale or Cornell. I had a 2.8 Gpa in high school and i regret slacking off freshman year so much, because of that it literally screwed up my whole high school experience and idk if im eligible now since they want 4.0 gpa’s

[@CharleeNguyen]

Hey man, so if you REALLY wanna get in even though you messed up in high school. Then you should reset everything and start fresh with community college. That is exactly what I did and it all worked out. I'll make a video about this! Have faith my friend (:

[@darealsgf468]

what’s sup man I have a question? i’m 21 currently doing community college first year doing classes fully online with the goal to hit a 4.0 I work full time so most of my extracurriculars are business related pretty much what i’m studying so will schools look at that as a downside because they are not school clubs?Like for example I work for my parents cleaning company and recently I started a mobile detailing company.Also my target school that I wanna get into is Princeton I just wanna make sure i’m extending myself as much as possible in terms of grades and essays and extracurriculars some feedback from you will be great

[@CharleeNguyen]

if you do any exta activities that correlate to your majors, you should be good. It sounds like you're on the right track

[@Shabdali-h6j]

Currently I am kept as a CCP student , do you think that colleges do accept ccp classes students into their colleges ? And what makes community colleges different from other colleges

yes they will take ccp students, community college is like an easier transition into university. Check out my other video on it :)

how can i know if my community college has the courses i need to transfer. im planning on going to pasadena city and i want to transfer to ucla

you can always call up the registrar office and they'll tell you. But also on each university website has a credit transfer catalog that you can look through and match up your CC credits with the uni credits

[@katerinapetrova245]

I heard for nursing it’s more selective and less spots if I transfer from CC ..tips ???

[@CharleeNguyen]

From all the nursing friends i've made, they said that going to CC didnt change anything! Just don't slack off and keep ur grades way up high! Volunteer work and having a bunch of hours and experience in the field before apps will save you! They would rather take more actual exp than grades, but if u do both, then even better!

also please tell that should i apply for transfer in my first year or in 2nd year?

you should apply for 2nd year. In those two years, try to join groups online or clubs. Maybe do something with computer science online in some kind of event. Showing the universities that you're more than just a student that can get good grades is the most important.
