Oberlin, Boston, Columbia, and NYU, chances?

Transfer Students
1

<p>well, I'm fed up with my state university, and I want to transfer out of it. My state university is not that bad, it is ranked 54th. </p>

<p>Here are my stats:
High School GPA: 4.1 weighted, 3.8 unweighted. I slacked off in the latter part of my senior year(I missed three weeks of the school due to student page program, and later got depressed when ALL the colleges I applied rejected me), and got a few Bs in the final transcript. I took 10 AP classes, two honors, and three community college classes during my high school years.
ACT: 30
SAT: I will not send the scores. They are simply horrible.
SAT II: They are decent, all around 700ish. </p>

<p>EC: um, used to work at Maryland General Assembly, McDonalds, and did tons of clubs.
Awards: National AP Scholar
Art Awards and a bunch of other meaningless awards.
Hook: Starving Chinese immigrant, got rice?
Mom is having a <40000 dollar salary, last year I lived off from the Social Security Supplementary income.
I came here when I was 14 and I'm a fluent in Chinese. </p>

<p>College GPA: I think it is probably around 3.8.</p>

<p>Intended majors: International relation, which my school doesn't offer.
Comparative literature, they don't have it either. </p>

<p>Do you think I will have any chances at Oberlin, Boston College, Columbia, and NYU? My dream is Yale, but the likelihood of getting in is pretty slime.</p>

<p>if you send your SAT II's, the schools will automatically see your SAT I.</p>

<p>BC: in; NYU: in; Columbia: toss up like it is for everyone.</p>

<p>FYI, I applied to BC and NYU with a 3.8/70credits+32ACT and got in to all+cornell and carnegie so it's def possible with your stats. Set aside one solid month minimum to work on your applications.</p>

<p>=edit=</p>

<p>also, if you don't want them to see your SAT I, then just send your ACT. Of course, they won't see your SAT IIs either, but doing so would depend on how 'bad' you think your sat i scores were.</p>
