<p>At the moment I have a transfer application in to FSU. I applied because I find it to be a great school and it the only school I can realistically get in to at the moment. That being said, if I don't get in what schools realistically become options? What are some of my reach school? I intend to major in Psychology and then med school. I am considering applying to the lower ivys like Brown and Cornell in addition to other large schools such as NYU, UCLA, USC. If you have any better suggestions I would be happy to hear them.</p>
<p>My GPA in CC is 3.7. My high school GPA was somewhere around 2.9, hence the transfer.
I honestly don't have any ECs because I'm pretty new to the application process. I slacked off in high school and I am now trying to get into the best school I possibly can. I intend to finish with a GPA higher than 3.7.</p>
<p>My SAT scored are 1720 with a 6 essay. These are almost 2 years old and will be retaken if I have to consider new schools. It should be noted that they will be much higher the second time around.</p>
<p>Sorry for the long post but I am pretty eager to get started and I know the top schools like early applications. </p>
<p>if you’re planning to do pre-med, i should rethink planning to apply to any school that won’t meet your financial aid. </p>
<p>i saw NYU and NYU’s transfer financial aid is TERRIBLE. </p>
<p>you will be BROKE while you are in med school and doing your residency, and to accumulate a lot of undergrad debt is a bad choice. (both of my parents are doctors, and my dad actually had to declare bankruptcy because he wasn’t able to pay for his med school loans.)</p>
<p>with that out of the way. . .</p>
<p>NYU doesn’t want you to retake the SATs, they want the scores from high school. you’ll need a few ECs or internships you are passionate about. the 3.7 is great and CAS is in the middle ground of NYU schools. </p>
<p>good luck. transferring to NYU has been really difficult and it’s only getting harder.</p>
<p>I have read about NYU and the terrible financial aid so that was at the bottom. On the opposite end I hear USC has an incredible financial aid but I could be wrong. </p>
<p>Would 1 or 2 legit ECs be enough at a university like Cornell or Brown? I know they are reaches but crazier things have happened and I’m trying to do anything that will help.</p>
