college admission book and HELP!

<p>I graduated from a locally well known public school in Bronx New York. My ecs were minimal, my gpa was ~92 which was crap because of grade inflation, it was barely top 50%. My sat is pretty good, in the 1500s but I took it 4 times. I dont know if being a poor immigrant is going to help me or hurt me.</p>

<p>As you guys can see, all my stats leaves something to be desired. I just finished a semester at Stony Brook and got a 4.0</p>

<p>I’ve read alot admission book out there, Michelle hernandez, gate keepers, etc. I read them a year ago so i might not remember everything but i know the gists of it.</p>

<p>1.I want to know if I stand a chance at transfering to some better schools, maybe NYU, Cornell or Columbia.</p>

<li>If there are any books that are helpful for transfering students in admission.</li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>did you go to bronx science?
i know that the harvard student agencies have a book (The Guide to Getting In) that has a lengthy chapter on transfer applicants. the going is tough for those who wish to transfer, but good luck.</p>
