<p>Hi all...
a miserable yr for me..... only safeties admitted me and now im considering transfer........</p>
<p>i'm from china and own countless national prizes for creativity and others... maintaining a 4.0 prize. I founded a branch of china youth academy of sciences and was invited to be the president of some committees..
once invited to an APEC festival and published speech on a UNICEF forum...</p>
<p>admitted by usc(with TO -- a nice honor program), ucla, macalester and im going to usc
waitlisted by upenn and some others (not important though..)</p>
<p>I think my main problem is I'm a junior HS student, asked for fa and wrote terrible personal essays (really... many remarked..).. (yup.. i'm improving writing now and will not ask for fa)</p>
<p>and when should i transfer? junior ? senior ? waiting for another yr is terrible to be in such a univ.. and .... how are my cances to ivies?</p>
<p>thx</p>
