College Student Looking to Transfer to Top Colleges

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Hello,
I am going to be a sophomore next year at Miami U. (OH) and I am a Finance major. I am interested in transferring to an elite university for my final two years. A little info about me:

*HS UW GPA: 3.3
*HS W: 3.6
*APs: Euro, Environmental, Stats, APUSH, Calc AB, Gov, Psych
*HS Rank: Horrible, I attended one of the top high schools in my state. (About 25%)
*ACT: 32
*ECs: 4 Years Varsity Golf, All-Academic Award Each Yr., A couple clubs Jr. and Sr. year (nothing special hear)
*HS Extras: Competed in independent golf tournaments for fun (ranked decently in nation), did huge landscaping project at park, care packages through Christian organization, Caddy at local Country Club for 2 summers
*College GPA: 4.0 (After 1st Year)
*College Extras: Pretty much continued HS activities, amatuer golf tourneys, volunteer work, internship at wealth management place

I am an intelligent kid but was extremely lazy in HS. I don’t have any crazy awards or accomplishments, although I do plan to try and walk-on the golf team at the college I transfer to. I will apply as a Junior transfer for the fall of 2016 with roughly 60 credits completed at Miami.

PLEASE Chance me to these Elite schools I would like to attend:
Harvard
Columbia
UPenn
Dartmouth
Emory
Carnegie Mellon
NYU

Virginia
North Carolina
Vanderbilt
Illinois
Northwestern
Duke
Washington
UCLA
UC-Berkeley
Stanford
USC
Michigan
Ohio State (safety)

Thank You

Alright, look, it’s basically impossible to transfer to the top top schools unless you have some original research or any sort of “wow” factor under your belt. However, USC, the UCs, Michigan, Ohio State, Virginia, Emory, NYU, Illinois, and the other public and/or good (but not elite) schools should be in your reach. Just keep in mind that more popular majors our much harder to transfer into, and you need to choose your major RIGHT NOW so you can get as many of it’s core requirements done as possible. Also, freshman year of college is much easier than the rest, so good luck.
