Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey guys! :)</p>

<p>I'm an international sophomore, currently at SUNY Stony Brook, Bio major on the pre-med track.
Finding the classes too big and the curve a bit too easy, I'm looking to transfer to more competitive schools as mentioned in the subject.
I want to apply for Fall 2015 WITH Financial Aid. </p>

<p>STATS:</p>

<p>College GPA: 4.0
HS GPA: 3.9
SAT - 2190
SATs - 730 Bio, 710 Chem.</p>

<p>ECs: Okay, this part sucks. So my high school in India absolutely offered NO ECs, focussing primarily on academics, but I didn't achieve much at Stony Brook either, and that's all my fault, didn't think I'd be transferring till my second fall semester.</p>

<p>Here are my lame ECs:</p>

<p>University Scholars Member
Dean's List
Won Creative Expressions
Won Creative Writer award in High School
Sigma Beta Honor Society member
Volunteered at an educational NGO in India, tutored underprivileged kids for 5 months.
Interned as an assistant producer at a media company for two months, assisted with the production of a TV show.</p>

<p>Please help me figure out my chances at Cornell, JHU, Dartmouth and Amherst. I really need help!</p>

<p>Thanks so much!! :)</p>

<p>Cornell is the only place where you have a real chance and that too only if your recommendations and essays are great…Cornell transfer acceptance is near 15%, while it is under 5% for all others you mentioned…so, its worth a shot…</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for your input!
On the collegeboard website, Dartmouth last accepted 8% transfer applicants.
So should I not apply to any of them except Cornell or should I go ahead and give Dartmouth a shot anyway?</p>

<p>According to collegeboard, 12% transfers were accepted at JHU, and also on their website it’s 10%.</p>
