Need some advice

Transfer Students
1

<p>Well, I'm currently attending Baruch College in New York. I'm unhappy with Baruch overall. There is no campus, people just come to classes and go home, and there are no dorms. I had high expectations for college, but Baruch College has been very mediocre; even my high school was more challenging. I also hate living at home and commuting every day. I'm a pretty smart guy, I'm just really lazy (trying to change). I definitely want to transfer, the question is whether i should transfer my sophomore year or junior year. My only concern is that my high school gpa was very average.</p>

<p>High school gpa: 81 - i think that's a 2.9? (went to a tough high school that's ranked nationally)
SAT :1340 out of 1600
Average extra-curricular activities</p>

<p>College gpa: 3.5
Tennis Team- a substitute for now
Grassroots
Internship at Northwestern Mutual over the summer</p>

<p>I could not attend a school where I would have to pay more than 10,000 for tuition. My EFC was like 2,000 last year. What kind of schools could I get into my sophomore year. I would like to attend a school in Northeast. Thinking of majoring in economics or finance, still undecided.</p>

<p>Wait until your junior year. By then, your high school GPA will be nearly insignificant, and you have more time to bring your college GPA up to a 3.7 or higher. Your internship will look good, but you should also try to get involved (as much as you may dislike your school) during the academic year.</p>

<p>Hope that helps!</p>

<p>If your sure that you will transfer if you can get into your school for sophmore year then transfer now ( for sophmore year), if not then you may want to consider tranfering for junior year. If you find yourself to be a junior and considering to transfer for senior year, I doubt it’s worth it and would suggest to just complete your undergraduate there.</p>

<p>my question is whether or not i could get into schools like binghamton, Boston University/College, Northwestern, or Northeastern (just to list some) sophomore year.</p>

<p>You can try, but don’t be surprised if your rejected because of your high school credentials. Though if you earn enough credits some colleges will not ask it for evaluation.</p>
