Hi all,
I am currently a freshman at a Miami University in Ohio. I’m considering transferring to several schools, including Columbia University. I would like a more well rounded and challenging education than the one I’m currently receiving here. I screwed around a lot my freshman and sophomore years of high school, which hurt my GPA (I was able to bring it up significantly hmy junior and senior years though). I’m currently a freshman at the business school here at Miami (ranked #23 for undergrad business programs), and I’m in the honors and business honors programs here.
My stats:
High School GPA: 3.45 (unweighted)/4.2(weighted)
SAT: 2200 (1480 Math/Reading)
College GPA: 4.0 (Including 2 honors classes and taking one more next semester)
Background/ Extracurricular:
I come from a very wealthy area near a major city. High school was very competitive/challenging. Dad went to Columbia, so I would have legacy there.
High School-
Several leadership positions in high school (Student Council VP, Founder/President of investment club)
Mock Trial
3 sport varsity athlete (soccer state champion)
College (first semester)-
Delta Sigma Pi International Business Fraternity (Selected as 1 of 25 of over 150 applicants)
Investment Banking Club (Selected as 1 of 8 of over 250 applicants)
Several case competitions (including one investment banking case comp and 2nd place in a PwC case comp)
Do I have a decent chance at getting in? Any suggestions? Applying as an econ major.
