Looking to get chanced for the schools in the title – (NYU, Columbia, New School, GWU, American)

College: Quinnipiac University
Current GPA: 3.435 – Hoping after Sophomore Fall Semester it will rise to a 3.65
Major: Political Science
High School GPA: 3.73
APs: I took 3 in High School, only got credit for 1 (3 on AP Psych, 2 on AP English/Lit, 3 on AP US History)
Principals list all 4 years in High School, Dean’s List Freshman Spring semester

SAT: 1680/2400 (Old SAT, took in 2015/16)
ACT: 23 (2015)

Extra-Curriculars:
Internship at City Council Campaign in NYC, Internship at Connecticut General Assembly, Director for Political Science Association on Campus, Staff Writer for College newspaper, Rotoract Club member – High School stuff involves National Honor Society, Italian Honor Society, Varsity baseball, jazz band, concert band, yearbook club, diversity club

I know a lot of amazing professors so getting recommendations would not be an issue. Not sure what my plan of attack should be, maybe I should go to Barnes and Noble and get some SAT/ACT prep books? Also, i’m not delusional for applying to Columbia, my mother is an Alumn and my step-mother is a high ranking administrator there.

Cheers!

Also, I should say that I am looking to transfer to these schools and hopefully be enrolled for my Junior Year Fall Semester

NYU, Columbia and GWU seem tough. American is certainly worth a shot. The SAT/ACT are bringing you down.

If you need any financial aid NYU is out. I called ask about transfer financial aid and they said and I quote “If youre hoping for a scholarship to be able to come here this might not be the best choice”.
