help. going to sophomore year.

<p>Hello everyone. I am going to be a sophomore at UAlbany starting Friday. I am very excited, but at the same time, I know I could be at somewhere much better. I applied to transfer to school for the fall semester, and got into a good amount of schools, but decided to deny them all because I really wanted to go to Bentley University. </p>

<p>Schools I got accepted to: Syracuse with 40k scholarship, DePaul, Butler U, and IU-Bloomington. Northeastern denied me. Bentley waitlisted me, then denied.</p>

<p>I am going to re-apply to Bentley U for the spring semester because I am determined to go there. What will I need to get? I'm aiming for at least a 3.7 this semester, and I will do it! Can anyone give me some insight?</p>

<p>Also, assuming I don't get in again, I'm going to re-apply for next fall. I also need some more schools to apply to. I'm a business major, so preferably a top 50undergraduate business school. Can anyone give me some suggestions taking into consideration my grades/potential grades? I'd really appreciate that. Thanks so much!!!</p>
