<p>I am a student at Queens College in New York.
I am working hard to transfer in my sophomore year.
I want to transfer to schools like USC or Georgetown if I can... haha
But, do they look at your extra curricular activities?</p>
<p>In high school we had to join clubs and do volunteer works but
do I have to do them again?</p>
<p>Or do they just look at the GPA score? </p>
<p>Thank you...</p>
<p>I would say "both". For me, I wonna re-take my SAT I since my last score sucks!!! GPA is very important, it is a reflection of your academical ability in college...</p>
<p>thanks for the reply</p>
<p>damn... they look at sat and activity?
I did so bad at sat in my high school and I do not want to retake them....
and extra curricular activities....
I have to do them again? it feels like high school again....</p>
<p>Of course you have to if you want to go to a better one. Activity aims to let they know you can benefit your community as well as achieve personal academical goals!</p>
<p>Not only that ronaldo, but it shows you can balance many different things at the same time. Somebody who justs put all their time to homework and goofing around isn't as well rounded as somebody who holds a sports position or indulges in clubs after school and has limited time for their studies.</p>
<p>It also enables you to network (God I hate that word) and make new friends.</p>
<p>I assume that by saying you're transferring whilst completing your sophomore year, you are therefore a prospective junior. If so, your high school record and SATs are merely barometers and are far less important than if you were transferring as a prospective sophomore. The general consensus seems to be that your college GPA and letters of recommendation are the most important factors, followed on the next tier with your personal statement/essays and high school record/SATs. ECs are definitely on the subsequent tier and almost irrelevant, as for many students, myself included, our extracurricular interests from high school are now our major and thus very much a part of our curriculum. Simply put, ECs will not make or break your application.</p>
<p>wow! Thank alot everyone!
It really helped me.</p>
