Transfer Students

<p>I am a freshman at Emory looking to attempt to transfer to either Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, or Yale. Basically I applied to Emory thinking I wanted to go pre-med or study business, however now I want to focus more on economics and likely double major in chemistry. My only real edge is a very likely 4.0 (1st Semester) with a difficult course load. Thoughts....</p>

SAT1: 800 M, 600 CR, 620 W (1400/2020)
SAT2: 750 CHEM; 740 MathII
AP's: US Hist.- 4; Biology- 5, Calc. A/B- 5
College: Emory University
College GPA: Prospective= 4.0
College Courses:
- Intro to Bio. w/ Lab
- Intro to Chem. w/ Lab

- Intro to Microeconomics
College EC's: Investment Club; Israel Club; Lab Assistant over the Summer.
Prospective Major: Chemistry and Economics</p>

<p>Princeton doesn't take transfer.
Poor chance at the rest of the ivy.
You're only a freshman, they weight your highschool grade a lot more, and it doesn't look like you have adequate credential. Attend Emory for another year, maintain the GPA and then you will have a very good shot.</p>

<p>I'm concerned that the ivies won't see your reason for transferring to be compelling. Isn't Emory good for those subjects? It might look like you're a prestige hunter.</p>

<p>lol I'd stay where you are</p>

<p>Prestige Hunter is a bad thing?</p>

<p>All fair comments. I was only wondering if the numbers line up at all... and clearly I'd write a more compelling essay (if I did apply) than what I just spat out on CC.</p>
