high school performance and transfer admissions (I'm really worried...)

Transfer Students
1

<p>I'm a current freshman, who has completed one semester and hopes to transfer in Fall 2011. Obviously my high school performance is going to be looking at much more so than if I were to apply later on, but I'm wondering how much it will negatively affect my chances.</p>

<p>I had an upward trend in high school and my grades for first semester, despite being lower than I was hoping due to an issue in one class, are generally better than my high school grades. My SAT score is 1360/2060 and I have 3 AP tests that I got 4s and a 5 on. </p>

<p>I really can't stand the thought of spending another year at my current school, but I don't really want to settle for a place were I'll be as unhappy as I am now because I know that transferring again will be even harder.</p>

<p>My top choice is NYU, and other schools in the city and Urban areas. NYU isn't just my top choice because of the city though, I also found a program at Steinhardt that I really like....</p>

<p>You gave very few stats. There is no way anyone can give you any advice. Generally I would expect you would need a very high gpa and some nice ECs in college to have a shot at making up for bad hs and SATs. Great essays and recs too. Basic stuff.</p>
