From Cornell to Harvard/Yale/UPENN/Stanford

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>I am a freshman at Cornell University (majoring in Business). I am considering transfer to Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and UPENN majoring in either Sociology with concentration in Economics or Organizational Behavior. I want to hear about your opinion on the chance.</p>

<p>Here is my stats:
Current GPA at Cornell: 4.12 (Major GPA: 4.30)
Performed a research in Organizational Behavior, and the professor who guided the research recommended me to transfer to continue the research (my research is very rare and only few colleges mentioned the above have professors with the similar interests).
Courses Taken:
Microeconomics
Organizational Behavior
Microcomputing
Writing Seminar
Calculus II
Total 16 Credits
Recommendations will be excellent.</p>

<p>I am an equity analyst at Mutual Investment Club of Cornell and have done many service activities at Cornell.</p>

<p>In this winter, I garnered internships at a hospital and a international trading company. I am deciding what to do...</p>

<p>My high school stats:
GPA: 4.00 1/69
SAT I: 1370 (V570/M800) NOTE: I moved to US three years ago.
SAT II: MIIC790/CHEM780/WRIT580
President of various clubs/organization
Lots of community service
Research in chemistry

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>What gpa scale is cornell using? out of 5?
how do you like cornell? Did they give you good financial aid? sorry that i can't really help as i'm not good at those chances threads.</p>

<p>out of 4.0 but Cornell gives 4.3 for an A+
No fin aid</p>

<p>Why do you want to transfer out of Cornell? It really looks like you have a lot going for you at an Ivy! You're still a frosh... I see the research thing... but you sure that this is what you want considering that you'd change your major to Sociology?</p>
