<p>What do you all think my chances would be like for transfering into Northwestern, Columbia, or Stanford???</p>

<p>GPA at a top 20 university (up through 1st semester Soph. year): 3.73
--but my gpa is going up a lot (i got a 4.0 this semester) so hopefully ill pull it up some more.
SAT: 1400 V:750 M: 650
SATIIs: Writing 760, Lit. 730, US hist. 690
HS GPA/ rank- Not given but I went to one of the best private schools in the country and I would guess around a 3.5---but I improved drastically from freshmen to senior year.
ECs: Tutor in an inner-city elementary school for 5 hours a week, section editor for a school magazine, residence hall community service chair, tour guide, I interned for a broker this summer.</p>

<p>Any advice/ thoughts?</p>

<p>i think your chances are good. Try expressing why you want to transfer. Remember that academic reasons are better than personal ones.</p>

<p>Do you really want to transfer to comlubia? Don't they offer very little finaid to transfers?</p>

<p>yes, I really hope to get into columbia, stanford, or northwestern. I would go to any of those. I haven't heard anything about them not offering a lot of financial aid to transfers, or at least no worse than any other schools. But the school I go to now is just as expensive and not as well regarded.</p>
