<p>I need everyone's help on this...</p>
<p>I am an international student who's transfered from SUNY to Purdue (Business and Economics Major) during my Sophomore year entering as Junior. But now after a year at Purdue I am considering transferring out... I haven't been happy. But I know entering as a senior is unheard of.. or almost impossible.. at the same time I am considering taking time off for a while.. to rediscover my true 'passion' what-not. The thing is I feel like economics isn't really what I want to do.. all my life I have been more involved with 'creative' things like marketing or design but I guess I had no guts to take up a major in that for 'practical reasons'. </p>
<p>Here are my stats:
High school -
Straight As
Vice captain basketball
Modern dance club captain
Lots of charity work
Random scholarships for academic performance</p>
<p>SUNY -
GPA: 4.0
VP of Toastmasters for my college
Raised lots of money for charity ($11,000) - in-charge of marketing/fund-raising</p>
<p>Purdue -
GPA: 3.95
VP of student club
volunteered a lot
open own online shop</p>
<p>I am also considering taking some time off... </p>
<p>What are my chances of getting admitted to a good Ivy or school that is 'better' than the one I am currently at? I guess I feel like my current school has less opportunities for me..</p>
<p>Finish off your current degree at Purdue. If you have the money and time, tack on a creative minor before you graduate.</p>
<p>Then go to grad school once you’ve figured out your “passion”. Or work/intern in a few different industries/fields before going to grad school.</p>
<p>It seems unlikely that the Ivy’s would be looking for a senior-transfer, but you certainly toss them your application.</p>
<p>i wouldnt waste money on applying to ivies. many say not to apply with more than 60 credits. you could, however, go back to a SUNY, as there are several that will take up to 90 credits from you.</p>
<p>cornell doesn’t take more than 90 credits? i dont see it on their website…</p>
<p>what about schools like northwestern? or IU bloomington? NYU? non-Ivies but offer more?</p>
<p>NYU’s limit is something like 60 or 70 credits, across the board</p>
<p>cornell doesn’t take more than 60 credits, regardless of how many you have. it’s tough to get them to look at you with more than that, too.</p>
<p>i think the main question is not how many credits will transfer over but whether or not schools like NYU, cornell, northwestern will look at my application and give me a chance to transfer? i am well aware i can only transfer like 60 credits… but in my opinion college is an experience… so far mine hasn’t been a good one… and i am looking to ‘start anew’ i suppose…</p>
