<p>Hey everyone! Im so glad to have finally found an active transfer forum. So My current situation is that I am in the Honors Program at SUNY-Buffalo and im looking to apply to the following schools for transfer admissions for the start of my junior year......
Given in order of which I would like to attend</p>
<h1>1 Cornell: I applied last year as a tranfer and I was denied, however Ive heard that Cornell is very big on applicants who have a passion for the school so I figure I may have a chance applying again.</h1>
<h1>2 University of Rochester: Awesome school, not to far from home, and it has a very liberal gen ed policy.</h1>
<h1>3 NYU: Its NYU.... and.... Its in NYC enough said.</h1>
<h1>4 Boston College: Kind of my "safety transfer" another good school and my transfer stats are above their average.</h1>
<p>So here are my stats
High School: Homeschooled in 9th and 10th grade (94% Average)
Really Really, small private school for 11th and 12th
Graduated Valedictorian of a 6 person class (lol) with an overall average of 96%-97% (Upward Grade trend after going to an actual school)
No AP no IB no honors school did not offer (should I state this on application?)
SAT 1320: 720 verbal 600 math (old version) No subject tests
Secretary of the Student Council
National Honor Society Member
Captain of basketball team (no way i can play college basketball competitvely though)
Lots of community Service: Worked with children's groups, retirement home, and food pantry on volunteer basis through one organization. Also, Assistant Youth Leader at my church.</p>
<p>College: Suny-Buffalo, upper tier-2 institution
Phi Eta Sigma sophmore honor society
Gpa between 3.5-3.9 (most likely close to a 3.7) after this semester (one math course retaken however, had a B, received A grade 2nd time) with an estimated 3.8 in economics major.
Active member of the college republicans
Treasurer of my school's Mock Trial Association
Volunteer mathematics tutor for my old high school in my freshman year.
I have taken two honors seminars with a strong literary component, Graduate level macroeconomics and departmental honors microeconomics.</p>
<p>Weaknesses: Large class sizes=cold LOR's work experience is typical of middle class american teenager (no prestigous internships, high end jobs etc.)</p>
<p>Please help me estimate my chances for these schools.... also should i state the fact that my school basically offered the same curriculum to everyone without honors or AP (it was kind of a rediculous system I was valedicotian with a 96% and the guy in 2nd had 82%....... everyone else barely passed)</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
