Default Re: Getting into a top 20 school after taking two years off

How good is good with regard to scores? B average isn't that great. And are we talking a top 5 school such as Harvard / Princeton or fringe top 20 schools such as Wash U and Emory?

I went to Cornell, but I went the normal track. I don't really know anyone who has had your type of experience but I think it would be tough to transfer after doing poorly after your freshman year. You might want to goto a solid school, get a 4.0 for the first year, work your ass off and then try to transfer. I really think it's almost going to be impossible sans you buy a building on campus, to go from decent high school student on hiatus to a top tier University. Your ECs are going to be your strong points but I think it's going to be tough to make the move.
