<p>I don't really usually like these chance me threads, but I really do need to gauge my chances to decide whether or not to apply as a transfer next year!</p>
<p>So a little bit about me.
School: I go to a mid-tier University of California school and I am currently finishing up my first year. I am an Economics major.
GPA: My GPA right now is a 3.80 (projected to be around high 3.7 to 3.85 depending on how I do on finals this quarter).
Extracurriculars: I've gotten decently involved in school this year (joined university orchestra for first two quarters, pledged for professional business fraternity, volunteered to teach elementary school kids violin). For next year, I am going to be a Resident Advisor and hold a leadership position in my professional business fraternity. I also currently have a business related internship lined up for the summer and am looking to getting another internship or part time job this summer. </p>
<p>My high school stats were as follows:</p>
<p>UW GPA: 3.60/ W GPA 4.05 (I got 1 C my senior year second semester and a plethora of B's during my sophomore and junior years). I took all APs/Honors but only did so-so(mostly 3's) on the AP tests.
SAT Score: 2100
Extracurriculars: TONS of violin activities(all-state orchestra, music camps, volunteering to teach music and some other non-music volunteering)</p>
<p>Back in senior year, I applied to Vanderbilt (Blair School of Music) but did not get in. I am looking now to apply as an Economics major. My college results in senior year were a little disappointing (I got waitlisted at many top-tier schools such as UCLA and UChicago), but I realize that was because of the lack of solid grades. </p>
<p>I was just wondering, do you think I have a good chance at Vanderbilt University? It is my ultimate dream school, and I would love to go there. If not, is there anything I can maybe do to help my chances as a transfer?</p>
