<p>hmom5 - I thought I had read that Harvard did not accept transfers, so thank you for clarifying! I also do know that Yale only accepts 1-5 depending on the year, and I feel that I may have read that they did not accept any last year. Accepting any is better than accepting none though.</p>
<p>In my post I said that my GPA in college was a 4.0, while in high school it was a 3.76. I’m assuming you just mixed up the two. Bringing the SAT up does sound like a great idea, though I’ve also heard that upon reaching around your Junior year, SAT matters much less than it does for freshman and sometimes sophomore transfers, is this not true? Finally, I’m assuming that research in the business field would translate into internships, which is exactly the reason that I am doing an international study abroad session and then internship in China. I would absolutely also love to get into scientific research, which I’m assuming is what you meant, but I don’t know how an English/ IB major would qualify for a lab assistant position. If I am missing something regarding that I would really appreciate any advice.</p>
<p>dufflebagjesus - Yes, I chose International Business because San Diego State’s program is in the top 12 in the nation, and offers a very broad unique experience. Is there another major you would suggest that combines Business and different cultures? I feel that I picked pretty well.</p>
<p>By “worth it” I mean that it’s a difficult decision between having a broad great experience, making close lifelong friends, and having relaxing weekends… and instead waking up at 4:00 a.m. every morning for crew and going straight to class after an intense practice. I was just looking for anybody who has personally experienced what it’s like to have to choose between them when both are offered.</p>
