Though I am not sure about the SAT/ACT (I'm sure each of the schools is different), I know that it is possible to transfer. I have a friend who went to Argentina for a year after high school, attended two years of community college (where she admittedly was student body president and had an amazing amount of community service hours), and transferred to Cornell University. Of the transfer applicants to the hospitality program (one of the most competitive in the country), three of four hundred were accepted. So, what I guess I'm trying to say is that it is possible, but it will be extremely difficult and even more competitive than if you were to apply as a freshman.

If anything, I think your age might hurt you a little. Though they will see that you are hard-working and determined, they might also worry about the stress of an Ivy League (trust me, there's more than you think and people generally think that there's a lot) on a younger student.

So, my main tip is to be very active in your school. As my friend who transferred stated, it's easy to get spotted if you're a big fish in a little pond.

Best of luck!

Not all Ivy League schools accept transfer students and your chances of getting in from a community college aren't very good. Many universities, including the Ivies, will still require you to submit SAT/ACT scores as part of your application. Since you're a homeschooling student, they'll want to know that your high GPA is actually backed up by a good education and standardized test scores are one way of evaluating that. The schools' website will give you more information on what they require from transfer applicants.
