<p>From my friend: Hey everyone I am currently a student at a community college in California.</p>

<p>During High School, I did International Baccalaureate, but did very mediocre-I had a 2.74 unwtd gpa, 3.3 wtd GPA, and had okay-decent SAT's-2090 (770M,670Wr, 650R)</p>

<p>Currently I have a 3.86 gpa (I earned a B in a class I took during high school)
and am trying to transfer to
NYU Stern,
Cornell AEM,
Georgetown,
USC,
Berkeley,
UCLA
Duke,
Dartmouth,
USC,
UPenn CAS Econ
UC Davis
UCSB</p>

<p>I will be applying as an incoming Junior and by that time my gpa should most likely be around a 3.93-3.94.
Currently some relevant courses I have taken are, Calc 1, Calc 2, Financial Accounting, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Biology, English and by the time I apply (FALL) I would have taken 2 more English (for Cornell), Calc 3, Differential Equations, Physics,, Statistics, and some other GE courses. In spring I will take the others courses- Mangerial Accounting, one more sem. of Biology, other GE's</p>

<p>I will be applying next year, and have already startign working on a personal statement and made some really good progress, and will start on the supplements early as well, so they should be really good hopefully.</p>

<p>As far as my EC's/Work Experience, I have done
1.)850 hours of volunteer work at the American Red Cross (I was also a member of the board of volunteers, and worked in Fund Development, received a type of presidential award for it)
2.) President and Founder of Finance Economics Business Achievement (I have recently made the club, and am planning on doing many events, working with speakers, trying to spread this club across sister junior colleges, etc.)
3.) Vice President-Fitness Club (We plan on subsidizing some gym memberships for some of our members, doing some presentations, and promoting a healthy lifestyle of campus and in people)
4.) Vice President (Will become President next year hopefully) of Muslim Student Assocation-(done some interfaith events-i took a lot of initiative iwth this club, and have raised hundreds of dollars through sales of food, etc.)
5.) Inter Club Council Representative of American Marketing Assocaiton-(I attend a type of student body meeting where we each represent all the clubs on campus, i have also raised a lot of money for my club because of my attendance,etc)
6.) I am also planning on becoming a tutor this Fall in Mathematics at the Mathematics
Enginneering Sciences Achievement Program
7.) Member of Phi Theta Kappa
8.) Getting a summer internship at an Accounting Firm this summer</p>

<p>Chance me or help me please? </p>

<p>If my friend has a 3.93-3.94 gpa by the end of fall, what will be his reach, match, and safety schools?</p>

<p>To your friend…</p>

<p>Expect to be rejected by Duke, Dartmouth and Upenn. Cornell is a reach for AEM. You are better off applying for ILR. </p>

<p>You should be in for everything else. Now, obviously those ECs are above average but one can tell he has quantity over quality. Being an officer in so many student organizations is such bs because obviously most of those clubs probably don’t do much. You should focus on getting good internships.</p>

<p>i agree with ^.</p>

<p>bump…</p>

<p>I can see where you two are coming from in the sense that some of the extra’s I have are BS, but that’s not quite true for everything…</p>

<p>My volunteer work-I did that throughout the course of high school, and I earned two awards-one presidential and a nomination for a Prudential Volunteer Award</p>

<p>how exactly do i have quantity over quality? I don’t understand that-Im part of 4 clubs-not 20.</p>

<p>in MSA- I am now president, and while I was Vice President, I contacted all speakers for our events, and really put my best effort forth in order to raise awareness of what Islam really is on our campus. In addition, we essentially raised our budget by almost $2000 my first year. We conducted quite a few fundraisers on campus</p>

<p>in Finance Economics Business Achievement-its a recent startup, however contrary to your assumption thta it’s BS, I have been working over the summer with my advisor, vice president, and treasurer to devise ways that we can create practically a center of learning for these areas on our campus. We have names of other small business, non-profits, and corporations that we personally know who we will work individually. In addition, we are trying to create our own personal academic journal where we do research and publish.</p>

<p>Fitness club ties in personally with me because i lost 40 pounds ofweight, so even if the stuff i do in the club is bs, Colleges will buy it, cause its personal. -thats my only bs type of club</p>

<p>American Marketing Association is a national club that has a chapter at our school-All i do is what they expect of me which is to attend weekly student body meetings and report back to thei rclub, but our club itself on our campus is involved in a great great deal of things on campus. </p>

<p>Phi Theta Kappa BS</p>

<p>Tutoring-I tutor up to Calc 2, so how can that be bs?</p>

<p>And i have an internship right now, so how can that be bs as well?</p>

<p>Both UCB Business and UCLA Business Economics appear to be very selective for transfer applicants, even at high GPA levels, according to [University</a> of California: StatFinder](<a href=“http://statfinder.ucop.edu%5DUniversity”>http://statfinder.ucop.edu) .</p>

<p>Hey, I’m just trying to help. I don’t really care about the details. If you think what you’re doing isn’t bs, then good for you.</p>

<p>NYU Stern
USC,
Berkeley
UCLA
USC,
UC Davis
UCSB</p>

<p>tell your friend to narrow his list down to these seven schools, your friend has a good chances at all of these. for the other ones you mentioned, a 3.86 from a community college isnt going to work out, coupled with an unsatisfactory high school record.</p>
