Chances for sophomore transfer?

<p>Im currently a freshman at UCI majoring in business econ
and want to hear if I have some chances in following universities</p>

<p>Applying: Upenn Wharton, Columbia, USC Marshall, NYU Stern, Carnegie Mellon Tepper, and Cornell</p>

<p>Current GPA: 3.7, will try to raise it up to 3.9 by end of the freshman year</p>

<p>High School GPA: 3.7 uw / 4.1 w, top 10% , took 6 IB courses and received IB diploma, 6 AP courses with all 4's i believe</p>

<p>SAT I: 1990
SAT II - Math II: 790, Korean: 800, U.S: 710</p>

<p>Ecs: Not so great, just have 2 years of work experience at a SAT academy, internship at a CPA office, and currently member of KCCC and undergraduate business association at UCI.</p>

<p>Well, I'm got an early start on my essays so I can make it the best I can. I will get from recommendations from a great professors who know me well at UCI</p>

<p>Honest input will be appreciated! Thanks :)</p>

<p>It’s very difficult to get into a college as a sophomore transfer that you could not have gotten into as a freshmen. So I’d say Wharton and Columbia are highly unlikely. The rest are worth a shot although they are all reaches. Better chance after 2 years and an SAT retake.</p>

<p>How would my chances fare if I retook my SAT this jan?</p>

<p>Your SATs won’t help at this point, really. Even with a 3.7, it will be very difficult for you to get into any of the schools you mentioned. USC Marshall is probably your best chance, followed by Tepper, then Stern, Cornell, Columbia, and Wharton.</p>

<p>I would stay at UCI for another year before transferring.</p>

<p>A higher SAT would help a lot.</p>

<p>Transfer to USC. I live in Irvine and originally SIR’d to UCI. IT SUCKS! Run away as far as you can.</p>

<p>So… I’m getting mixed answers…
should I retake the SAT this Jan or not???</p>

<p>Tepper does not even accept transfers.</p>

<p>If you plan on transferring this year, retake your SATs.</p>

<p>You have no shot anywhere except USC, not even worth applying.</p>
