<p>Hello,
I'm fairly new here-made this account 5 minutes ago. So, my plan at the moment is to go to an inexpensive college and then try to transfer to NYU in their CAS school to pursue a career in pediatrics (a pre-med track). It's just so many people have been telling me how stupid of an idea it is to want to transfer. I'm 80% sure I won't get admitted into NYU because of my grades:
Unweighted GPA: 3.8
Weighted: 96.19
SAT: 1840- Reading: 610, Math: 570, Writing: 660
Combined: 1180
ACT: 28
I volunteer at Stony Brook University Hospital and am committed to completing 100 hours there and I'm in a few clubs as well.
I'm a first generation Afghan-American and...yeah.</p>
<p>Now, would trying to transfer after two years look better if I were to improve my grades throughout college or would it be just the same as I applied now? </p>
<p>& what if I end up going to a inexpensive school that doesn't have as many good programs than the ones I would've been accepted to, try to transfer to NYU and end up getting rejected? Where would I go from there? Is this all a stupid idea? Please help me, I'm confused. Thank you! :)</p>
