<p>So i'm currently a freshman at Villanova University and I'm thinking about transferring out. Without trying to sound arrogant.. i think i may be able to pull a 3.6 ish no sweat.. but am going to try to aim for a 3.8 (obviously higher the better) </p>
<p>I'm thinking about trying to become a investment banker so Wharton is the best choice. ive joined like 5 business clubs but i'm not sure about showing leadership since i'm only a freshman. What are my chances for any ivies plus NYU Stern?</p>
<p>What's your high school stats?</p>
<p>At 3.6:
NYU somewhat stretch
HYP stretch</p>
<p>Dunno bout the rest</p>
<p>this has to be the most ridiculously general and stereotypical post out there. please. commit harikari. asap.</p>
<p>3.6 and thinking of transferring to Wharton?</p>
<p>dude... not to make you too hopeless or anything but... you'll need at least a 3.8 to even have a SLIGHT chance.</p>
<p>besides, you gotta provide us with more info besides the GPA.
Top schools like Stern and Wharton isn't enough by just getting a good GPA (or even a perfect 4.0). You'll need to tell us your high school stats, including your GPA, SAT I/II scores, ECs/Volunteer, in addition to the current college stat.</p>
<p>And probably the most important of all, the Essay. You'd have to have a STELLAR essay. And if you want to transfer to Wharton, you better already have been doing something related to business. This does not mean merely joining a school Business or Accounting Club (Unless you are the president or is an active executive/management member of that club). It means you actually build up a real-world experience through job and internship to show that you are actually preparing yourself for the major and that you are enthusiastic about it.</p>
<p>good luck.</p>
<p>He just started his freshman year and doesn't even have grades. You don't have to berate him just yet. </p>
<p>But yes, you have to post your stats like dhl3 said.</p>
