Hello! I am currently a freshman at NYU majoring Economics. I am thinking about transferring to Georgetown, Wellesley, and internal transfer to Stern (now I am in CAS).
Here are my stats:
GPA at NYU: 3.867
HS GPA: weighted 4.31
SAT: 1490 out of 1600
TOEFL: 111 our of 120 (I am an international student from China who attended a catholic high school in Connecticut.)
APs: micro and macro economic both 5; Calculus AB 4. Took a college level European history class at University of Connecticut and got an A.
Extracurricular activities: not much at NYU, but pretty good at High school.
Rec letter: should be good from my writing professor.
I was both waitlisted at Wellesley and Georgetown when I applied as a first year student. Georgetown Admission called me and told me to transfer next year. They told me my high school GPA was not good enough so I am really worried about my 3.867 GPA at NYU. Don’t know if being waitlisted before can give me another advantage on transferring…
I am working very hard on my essays… But based on my stats, do I have a good chance for these three colleges? Wellesley and Georgetown are my dream schools and I don’t like NYU for lack of a sense of community. ( I am transferring to Stern because of the name and the advantage of internal transfer I guess).
Also can someone please recommend some colleges to me that I have a good chance transfer into? I really want to go to a college that has a campus…so I need some matches to ensure I can escape from NYU…
