Chance me at Vanderbilt, NYU, UVa, BC

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm currently a freshman at Umass Amherst first semester and I'm looking to apply for transfer after my 1st semester of sophomore year. Currently, the first semester, I have a 4.0 gpa and plan to have around a 3.85ish gpa by the time I transfer. My extra-curricular are limited and nothing special to talk about. I've done a few volunteer and internships in high school and plan on getting another one this upcoming summer. </p>

<p>What are my chances of getting into Vanderbilt, NYU, UVa, BC (and possibly the engineering school at Columbia which, I heard, wasn't that hard to get into..though I know it will still be a huge huge huge reach). Also, would a 3.9 gpa help my chances a lot more or not really? Thanks.</p>

<p>*ps- I plan on majoring in business</p>

<p>NYU really depends on the school you are applying to, but everything seems like a match with the exception of BC and Columbia which are both reaches.</p>

<p>A 3.8-3.9 GPA qualifies you to get into those schools as a transfer. Columbia might be harder, as will NYU if you’re applying to Stern. Since you’re only a freshman your high school grades/scores might have some weight. Good luck</p>

<p>thanks guys.</p>

<p>nyyankees2012: yeah but i plan on apply my 2nd semester of next year (sophomore year) so they’ll probably see 3-4 semesters of my grades. since i didnt do so well in high school, im hoping they dont put as much weight on my high school gpa and stuff.</p>
