Chance Me / Advice on Transferring!

<p>I'll be attending SUNY Stony Brook next fall. My top choices of transfer are most likely:</p>

<p>Emory (TOP), Barnard, Wesleyan, Northwestern, Notre Dame, and Georgetown (considering others)</p>

<p>What do I have to do to get there?</p>

<p>3.5 G.P.A. at LEAST, and I know in some cases high school transcript and SAT/ACT scores are necessary. If anyone has any experience/knowledge on the matter, do you recommend applying AFTER freshman year in the summer for sophomore entry as opposed to after 1st semester?</p>

<p>My grades in high school were not mediocre but not at where I want them to be. I got a 3.6 GPA but C's in junior year math (which have climbed significantly to high 90's this semester) and my ACT composite, at its highest, was a 29.</p>

<p>Also, I applied to Barnard, Wesleyan and Gtown this year, and got rejected, so hopefully re-applying will demonstrate interest.</p>

<p>I can’t really say much about your chances because I don’t know much about the specifics of those colleges, but I think the question of WHEN to transfer really depends on what you want/are thinking. Personally, I decided to stay at my current school for my sophomore year because I’m paying very, very little to go to a pretty expensive private school. </p>

<p>But, going into a new college as a junior is probably a lot harder than a sophomore so that probably plays a large part. Like in your case, you probably won’t have to pay much for a SUNY school (I’m still waiting to hear from Stony Brook about my application for summer research there this summer) so I think it’d be a great idea to stay for your sophomore year because you’d have to pay a lot more at those other colleges.</p>
