<p>I think you are definitely a qualified applicant for these schools. However, you will have a better shot if you transfer for junior standing. As far as I know, JHU’s business school is relatively new. So, you will probably have a higher chance at that school. You have good E.C.'s too. International travel experience, that’s something universities do value. Good luck man!!!</p>

<p>My advice would be to wait another year. Applying as a transfer now only shows those colleges 1 semester of grades. If you do not get in this year, be persistent and give it another go next year.</p>

<p>Im going for a junior transfer and I have improved greatly from high school to say the least. I have average SAT scores. I heard they barely look at any high school records for junior transfers.</p>
