Chance me for spring transfer to NYU/Emory/BU

Transfer Students
1

<p>I'm an International Student from Central America. Hispanic/White (Spanish and German descent). We don't use GPA, so I'll just list my grades as they give them to me (Out of 100. 70 is pass). </p>

<p>HS Average: 72/100
College Average (Completed 3 semesters, 6 classes per semester, 8 credit hours each): 93/100. 4th in my class of 45.
SAT's: Verbal 710; Math 570; Writing 630.
TOEFL Paper-based: 673
EC's:
- Founded first student-run newspaper on campus, editor for the first year.
- Helped run Senator's gubernatorial campaign youth committee.
- Screenwriting is my favorite hobby.
- I run for half an hour everyday (I guess it's not really an EC but they asked for athletics and well, that's what I do)</p>

<p>Reasons for transfer:
- Academic challenge and course flexibility of schools
- Sexual orientation (it's hard to find fulfilling personal development if you're gay in Central America)</p>

<p>Very good recommendations: the Dean knows me very well and my faculty recommendation came from a teacher in whose class, Sociology, I scored a 97. She told me she'd written that I'd been maybe her best student in 17 years teaching university. </p>

<p>I've never applied to BU or Emory. I was rejected from NYU as a freshman entry (not surprisingly). I really have no idea of what my chances might be. Any thoughts?</p>

<p>Oh, right, applying for International Relations major, which is what I’m majoring in here (you choose it from the outset over here).</p>

<p>Lol, how’d you end up with a 1.7 HS GPA? I just want to know.</p>

<p>you can’t apply as International Relations at NYU. IR is an Honors majors that only certain Politics majors can APPLY for, usually in their sophomore or junior year.</p>
