<p>I always wanted to go to one of the top 50 schools (based on US News) and was on the right path, until about last term I began to really slack off and not care much about school. I just do not do any homework at all and almost do not study. Finally, I got 1.7 GPA for that term. Anyways, I was wondering what are some good ways to boost up my resume in order to have a real shot (or any possibility at all) to transfer to one of the top 50 schools, such as UW and I am an Accounting major. </p>
<p>Background/ Extracurricular:</p>
<ol>
<li>Win two scholarships in my current college </li>
<li>Earn the highest IQ score at my middle school class, which had about 80 students </li>
<li>one of the seven finalists for best research paper in my college</li>
<li>Parents do have College Education</li>
</ol>
<p>The last term was very bad, since I am a little bit depressed about my life. Although the surrounding circumstances are not changed, but I am getting better since I have to. Anyway, I'd like to go to UW, Cal (UC-Berkeley), UCLA, or Harvard would be best. I just really want to go to a top school with a degree. I think the doors it could open would be almost endless. What could I do to become a good candidate to transfer? Also, what other schools have great departments? Last, can you recommend some good colleges in the top 50 for me based on my unique situations?</p>
<p>Thank you for and suggestions, and Americans are friends are friends. I will check this thread twice a day.</p>
