<p>Don’t worry, you’lll transfer out to a great college university.
I’m applyin to a UC, but my friend from elementary school really wants to go to UCSB. Her GPA is 3.5 weighted, 1800 sats, 630, 650, 700 on sat 2s (math 2, lit, and history) and has a bunch of EC’s. she is very smart but she had major health problems during her sophomore year. she wrote about it in her essay too.
what do you think her chances are?</p>
<p>Yale= high reach
brown= reach
duke= match
columbia=reach
stanford=high reach
rice=match
UPenn=reach
UC berkley =high match/low reach</p>
<p>good stats but transferring will be harder than if you were trying to get in as a freshman so I’d say you have a shot but probably not much of one at the upper tier ivies</p>
<p>don’t know too much about transfers but i think you have a great shot considering you have a great gpa at emory. will be hard to transfer as a sophomore though.</p>
<p>i dont really know that much about transfers but your stats are amazing
Yale-mid reach
brown-low reach
duke-match
columbia-mid reach
stanford-mid reach
rice-match
UPenn- low reach
UC berkley-match</p>
<p>It helps that you’re a freshman in college and chanced me. : )</p>
<p>Your GPA is really, really good, and it’s from Emory, too. Your extracurriculars sound really solid, the dean’s list is impressive, that you’re still an Eagle Scout is good, too, and 18 APs wow.</p>
<p>Duke, Rice-match
Yale, Columbia, Stanford-mid reach. But I’m sure you’ll get into one of them.
UC Berkeley-high reach
UPenn, Brown-reach</p>
<p>I just got my PSAT back and got a 205 and missed national merit. However, I got a 2270 on the SAT as a sophomore and took it again last saturday and think I got 2300+. Will colleges care if I missed national merit (I muffed the writing section by missing 5 of the last 10 questions)? By the way, I have a great GPA, many APs, and great extracurriculars.</p>
<p>you should be good to go…colleges love 2300+ SAT scores…I am pretty sure that those kind of scores are perfect for the top schools…you will be good to go even with a bad GPA but yours looks great…good luck</p>
<p>Okay, you chanced me but didn’t give me details in your answer. Well here I am anyway.</p>
<p>I think Duke and Rice are your best matches!</p>
<p>With a 3.9 at Emory, with your leadership skills as well, I don’t see why the other schools should give you too much trouble. But I still think your best bets are Duke and Rice. Duke and Rice are often compared to Emory as “equivalent” schools.</p>
<p>I am curious, though. Why do you want to transfer out of Emory? If I won’t like Emory when I get there, I shouldn’t be worried about Oxford of Emory, eh?</p>
